Mine is the LA Colosseum, I like it because it reminds me so much of the ancient Roman Colosseum.

Jack Russell Stadium
Candlestick Park (football not Baseball). Weather wasn't that bad in football season. Was always colder in the summer there.

The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum....#1
Wrigley Field.....#2
Cincinnati Riverfront Stadium...#3
I'll have more to add.....later....but....those 3 ball parks are the best that I have personally been to for a great game experience!... Hands Down.....For Reasons..... It's not all about the game on the field....
The worst 3 stadiums that I have ever been to are The Astrodome, in Houston and The Kingdome , in Seattle.... and the Superdome in New Orleans...... The Superdome STINKS....and I mean it LITERALLY STINKS!....YUK!
But, to be fair.... It's not just the Superdome that stinks around there.....The whole town smells bad...EVERYWHERE!
The best baseball stadium I've ever been in was Camden Yards in Baltimore. But I have to admit I have not been to that many. The list for me includes Fenway Park, Connie Mack Stadium, Shea's Stadium, Veterans Stadium and the Tampa dome. Some of those were pretty bad.
That stadium was the father of, what, 21 of the current parks ( 2 LA, both Chicago, TOR, KC, BOS, NYY, TB and OAK being the exceptions).
I used to have Thanksgiving with one of my brothers at our aunt's house outside of Baltimore. I went to the site before they opened it the next spring and it was almost finished. There were workers there, but no security. I was able to wander around the entire park: field, dugouts, clubhouses, each level, etc. It was spectacular.
My brother, who worked in the parks department in DC, had done most of his work with the preservation and certification/declaration of historical sites. He was bemoaning the abandonment of Memorial Stadium, etc.
I told him I was able to walk unfettered through the new ballpark. I told him that the second you enter the new stadium that Memorial Stadium would become a distant memory.
Next Thanksgiving, after having gone to an Orioles game that summer, he reluctantly conceded that point.
Dodger Stadium is pretty cool......Ahh....That SoCal scenery!.....
And...Talk About The Local Scenery?.....
And
Terry Bradshaw was AMAZING!!
