What about the Mariners? Doesn't anyone hate the Mariners?

You have to be relevant to be hated. Besides, why would we hate them? Without them Texas doesn't go to their first ever World Series.

Ive been to all the AL West (minus the noob Stros) parks and several others.

Mariners have the best I have seen.

Yeah that's probably palatial when compared to O.CO. Dual purpose stadiums are horrible, and need to be ended.

Houston sucks, I hate that place

But yeah I'd say the Mariners probably have the best, if the Rangers had the same roof setup I'd say it would be a pretty even fight, I love the Ballpark, but the heat is a killer for that place

Haven't been to any west parks. I've been to Arlington several times, ST Louis, Kansas City, and the marlins park. ST Louis was cool, and Kansas City has an awesome park. Arlington is nice, but hot as hell if you sit on the third base side in the day time.

Wonder if that might be a possibility in the future.

Moreno is his own worst enemy. He doesn't understand you have to build from within. I am gonna laugh my ass off if blows his chances with Trout, but spending all this money on aging talent.

So he's the Daniel Snyder of baseball.

They effectively have, thats just a dinosaur at this point, that hasn't died
I am torn though...Yes I loathe O.CO, but if they move the team and build a new stadium that means more revenue for the A's.

Safeco Field is awesome. Right there with San Francisco and Pittsburgh for best new parks.

Still can't believe the Mariners won 116 games in 2001 (I think) and didn't even get to the WS. Must have been crushing.

AGREED.

That place is turrble. Football games aint bad. But that whole area of Oakland is shitty.

Regular season is irrelevant once the post season begins.

Give it another 5 years. I love the temple, but it's 20 years old next year, and I can see a push for a new home happening.

I guess the cost would be insane. I hope they're smart on the next one and put a retractable roof on it.

Why can't they add a retractable roof to the current park? I heard a price around 70 million once, much cheaper than building a whole new stadium.

Would love to go to St Louis. Best fans in baseball No? And the fact that they have the new Bush park.

Also Pittsburgh looks cool as hell on tv.

Been to Dodgers, Petco (SD), SF, The Halo, Seattle, Arlington, Cincy, Camden, Wrigley, New Comiskey, the Minny dome (not target)

All over 5 years ago minus the Chicago parks which was last year. Family there.

Almost all the other ones were through werk minus the Bay stadiums.
