    I appreciate you say that as someone that went to the Coliseum a lot and have fond memories there because that place was the definition of DUMP by the time I got there. I have a personal ranking system that looks at history in the park, views from the park, fan experience and the neighborhood around it. Let's just say the Coliseum didn't rank high in anything with it's best score being history but it's a clear last and that's saying something because Comisky (at least when I went) is pretty bad too.

    The Raiders really messed things up as far as the stadium goes. Add to that the last twenty years of spending $0 on upgrades, and you have the worst stadium in MLB. That’s a whole other story. But pre- fancy suites and technology and fireworks, with the place near full every night and them winning championships, it was electric.

    Haven't been since they've done a little bit of renovating, but growing up in Chicago, comiskey sucked, and the area around it was rough. There were bullet holes found in the seats during construction, likely from the housing projects across the highway. Absolutely nothing around. You get in your car and get the hell out after the game.
    Now I believe those housing projects are torn down and replaced with fancy condos.

    Cinergy Field was a dump. The new stadium looks nice. Cinergy was turf. Baseball in a turf stadium is like a different sport.

    But who ever goes to Cincinnati.
