Top 5 Baseball Parks to Visit this summer

All 30 of the MLB ballparks share a similar theme, they draw crowds, they have fun and they play baseball there. However, if you’re looking for the all-around best American baseball experience- it also has a lot to do with the city the park sits in. 

AT&T Park- San Francisco Giants
 
The atmosphere here is exactly what you want in a baseball park experience. With spectacular views of the bay, the giant glove in outfield and the unique “San Fran” fare, should make it a top choice on your must see list. And let’s talk about the attractions this city offers, the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Fisherman’s Wharf, Union Square, this city is packed with sites to see as a couple or family.
 
Wrigley Field- Chicago Cubs
 
Baseballs second oldest stadium, (oldest in the National League) there’s a reason the cubs have stayed in this park for over 100 years. The renovations still left the old-timey feel with some modern comforts. After last season, you’re guaranteed a great time at Wrigley! Chicago, now the third most populous city in America will not disappoint on entertainment. The Navy Pier, Millennium Park, Art Institute, Willis Tower and more.
 
Dodger Stadium- Los Angeles Dodgers
 
For all that have visited, many of them will conclude that the “Dodger Dog” is the best in baseball. The largest stadium by seat capacity and often referred to as a “pitchers ballpark” the stadium has seen 12 no-hitters, two of which were perfect games. There’s no need to explain the draw to visit LA, the center of the film and television industry, walk of fame, and behind the scene tours of Universal, Warner Brothers or Paramount Pictures. (Not to mention Disney Land!)
 
Coors Field – Colorado Rockies
 
The best homerun park in baseball (thanks elevation) this stadium sits in downtown Denver. With a brewery attached in right field, they have 52 beers on tap! From the location, amenities, food, drink and entertainment-Coors Field has it all and does it right. Although Colorado is known to many vacationers for fresh perfect powder and winter sports, the spring and summer is pretty amazing. The Mile High City offers festivals, an abundance of outdoor activities and picture perfect scenery.
 
Fenway Park – Boston Red Sox
 
No baseball must-do list can be complete without Fenway. If you’re a fan of the game’s history or looking for an all immersive American baseball experience this is the place. While it doesn’t have the newest amenities, everything about it is special. Just ask anyone around you while at the game, they will give you a full explanation. Fenway is located in Boston and is now the oldest park in MLB. Boston is such a great city full of history, great for a getaway weekend or fun for the whole family.
