I've seen this list before. I've been to the Oakland Coliseum which, of course, is not a baseball stadium. But yes, Tropicana Field is worse. And the new Yankee Stadium may not be the old one but at least it has comfortable seats. Of course, with the prices they charge each seat should come with a free lap dance.
I've only been to 6 of them, and mostly nor recently. [Rogers, Cellular One--or "the Cell," as it's known in Chicago), Kauffman, Anaheim, Petco, and Wrigley.] Based on my memory of the experience (which is about 20 years old, now), I thought Kauffman was very nice, Fairly easy to get to, if you have a car, decent food, friendly fans. Anaheim felt old and a bit down-at-the-heels (but that was maybe 15 years ago). I've never liked Wrigley (where I have seen more games than anywhere else, because I lived in Chicago for quite a while), mostly because the fans were boorish (and often too well oiled). The Cell is an awful place to see a ball game. Rogers was a concrete dump when I was there (1994). But I really liked Petco...easy to walk to, good sight-lines, really good food. Too bad the team is not very good.
I was pleased to see that Wrigley and Fenway didn't top the list and that the Brewers and Twins parks were rated highly. I made my first visit to Miller in Milwaukee a couple of years ago and was impressed. But I'm sorry I settled for a brat and miseed the brat stuffed with a hot dog. Target Field in downtown Minneapolis is excellent with good viewing no matter where you sit. The concourse is very wide with a variety of food choices so you can watch the game while you eat. I was down there for a three-game early this month.

I went to a game at AT&T Park, and I have to admit it's a nice stadium.

The Safe (Safeco Field, Seattle) is nice but the team sucks.

I enjoy baseball, but I watch it on TV. I've been to only three major league games, two in the Astrodome and one at AT&T Park.
