As much as I love going to watch the Sox there are few things that I don't like. 1.) the ticket prices - wicked expensive the cheapest ticket if availible $23 2.) the seats - really uncomfortable I would rather stand than sit in the wooden seats 3.) the bandwagon/pink hat fans - I hate fans who talk Red Sox and baseball out of their rear ends you dont have to be a genuis but atleast know something 4.) the fans that don't pay attention - You dont know how many times I see people called "fans" who sit on the phone or doesnt really care about the game, these people buy my tickets and leave me at home and leave in the 7th 2706981

As a Met fan, I totally agree with Shea's neighborhood ranking. I can't even imagine how horrible it must be around the A's and Marlins parks that they are ven lower. Thank God the city is proposing to clean up the area around Shea/Citi-Field, which as Met fans know better than anyone is more than just an eyesore, it's a polluted mess that offers absolutely no opportunity or reason for Met fans to stick around after the game. Anyway, the plan would transform the area into the kind of neighborhood that not only Met fans would love to come to and enjoy, but that would also attract people with places to have fun, eat, drink, shop, etc. And it would even be the kind of place where families would love to live. This future for Willets Point is on the line tonight as Community Board 7 votes on whether or not to endorse the plan. You can bet there will be a lot of voices heard tonight on all sides of the issue, shouldn't we be heard too?! Tell your friends and come to the meeting tonight! Let's Go Mets! The meeting is open to the public and will take place at the Union Plaza Nursing Home, 33-23 Union Street, Flushing. 2101221

I've been to 41 ballparks. Without a doubt Pittsburgh's, San Francisco's and Baltimore's are the best. Baltimore is the original standard of what most of the parks have become. As a result, other parks were able to learn from their mistakes. I'm also not sure why you rate ballparks by Team Quality or Fan IQ. How about rating them on Amenities, such as San Francisco's scoreboard, and sightlines? To me these are way more important as far as rating the "ballparks" go. 1778539

While I have lived in the Tulsa area for 24 years, I grew up in the Philadelphia area and still have the most sympathy for the Phillies. I attended a number of games in the old Shibe Park/Connie Mack Stadium in my teens and twenties. Jackie Robinson was one of the first blacks to break into MLB, and when the old Brooklyn Dodgers were in town, sentiment for the Dodgers was quite noticeable among the large number of black fans who attended. I'll admit that the Philadelphis fans are among the most boorish - this goes back many years - but the booing is directed largely against the team and has deterred some good players from staying with the team. 1747815

Gotta love the fans unique quotes they are utterly hilarious! I live in Mass and am a diehard Red Sox fan but haven't been to a game in three years because, with the price of gas and parking and entrance into the park and food I would need a second mortage!!! 1704544

I just returned from Fenway Park where the Red Sox beat the Rays, 7-3, and couldn't agree more that the place ranks near the bottom of MLB venues. Don't get me wrong, I've been to Fenway hundreds of times since the '60s and it was a decent place when they averaged 20,000 fans. Now it's a sardine can.There's more Red Sox fans than there are black flies in Maine this time of year. They go to be seen, to do the wave, bounce beach balls, talk on cells and leave their seats in the middle of an inning for cotton candy. Vendors criss-cross each other in the aisles barking Pizza! or Cracker Jacks! People show up in the second inning looking for their seats. Nobody keeps score. It's awful. You folks in South Florida don't know how good you have it. A season ticket at Dolphins Stadium only costs about $1,000, the cost of 11 tickets at Fenway. I don't root for them anymore and I had been a lifelong fan. It's no longer a game, it's an experience... and a lousy one at that. 1678039

I couldn't be more proud that my Citizen's Bank Park got voted least hospitable. Anyone who walks into a spoting arena in Philadelphia NOT wearing home colors deserves what's coming to them. The truth is, you keep your mouth shut and nothing happens. It's only the loud, obnoxious, annyoing Mets fans from Jersey that get my $6.75 Miller Lite down their back. It will never be The Vet, but it is my summer home. 1675734

I couldn't be more proud that my own Citizen's Bank Park was ranked least hospitable. You morons who walk into any stadium in our city wearing anything but home colors deserbe exactly what's coming to you. Throwing beer and hot dogs? Sure it happens, but you keep your mouth shut and nothing happens. It's only the loud, annoying Mets fans from Jersey that get my $6.75 Miller Lite down their back. 1675733
