Baltimore is lovely, indeed, and scores especially highly on ease of access (though nothing beats the light rail straight to the new Twins ballpark, as far as that goes!)

It loses a couple of points on my ratings system because the concessions are fairly limited and bland. You can eat so much better and more creatively at almost any other park. The Mets have that piece of the fan experience down cold. (Yankees, not so much.)

The White Sox made the same mistake the Jays did, opening their park right before the new wave of retro designs. But it’s a fairly cheap, comfortable day out. Wrigley is Wrigley. You go for the history, not the comfort or the sightlines. Same with Fenway.

Have an old friend who lives in Minnesota so I see his photos of Target. Looks nice. Much more character than the Metrodome imo. Camden Yards I love for the architecture. The warehouse is iconic. Plus Babe Ruth was born nearby. The Nationals Stadium isn’t bad but it doesn’t have anything that stands out.
