I scoured the internet for all references to the top baseball stadiums in America. I looked at Top 10 lists, baseball forums and comments on sites like Flickr. I wanted as many opinions as I could find. After all my research it seems the consensus Number 1 pick is Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs.

Wrigley Field was built in 1914 and has served as home to the Chicago Cubs since 1916. She hasn’t seen many World Series, but it’s still the best stadium in the land. Wrigley is one of the last remaining stadiums from the old era. It’s rich with tradition and memories of how the game used to be. In fact, Wrigley Field wasn’t just the home to the Chicago Cubs – from 1921 to 1970 it was also the home to the Chicago Bears NFL team.

Wrigley Field is nicknamed The Friendly Confines, a phrase popularized by “Mr. Cub”, Hall of Famer Ernie Banks. Baseball fans make it a point to visit Wrigley Field. It’s like one of those places you have to visit before you die. They sell out every game win or lose, even in the middle of a weekday. It’s just a great environment and the perfect place to watch a baseball game.

If you’re going to be in the Chicago area, you have to make it a point to visit Wrigley Field, even if there isn’t a game going on. But if you happen to be in Chicago during the summer, why not buy a pair of Cubs Tickets and enjoy what’s great about baseball.
