You don't think Fenway park or Wrigley field have that level of nostalgia or even more in fact?

I've been to Fenway and the nostalgia factor is definitely there. You get a neat feeling walking into that stadium and seeing the Green Monster. That said, do I think the place is a dump and needs to be revamped? Absolutely.

I get the history/atmosphere aspect. I think that has less to do with the stadium though and more about the fan base.

Not for me. I don't care for baseball.

Me either for the most part. However I LOVE football but don't care one iota for for the Packers.

So I guess its even for me. :D

Never been to Fenway but Wrigley smells like urine. That takes it out of consideration IMO.

UofP is a great stadium to go see a game but it's location holds it back from being top 5. It is in the middle of a cornfield with crappy infastructure around it. It may be 10 more years before it grows up. Had it been built near Mill or the 101/202 in Tempe it would be seen as the finest stadium for a sporting event anywhere in the country. Another boondoggle by the Bidwills and the politicos of our state. Unless your a diehard Cards fan it is hard to want to even make a trip over to the stadium.
Couldn't agree more. Every time I drive south on the 101 and see the big empty field just northwest of where the 101 meets the 202 I think about what could have been. I dropped my season tickets when the Cardinals moved to Glendale because it is a long trek from where I live and takes up too much of the day.

true, but can you blame the fans? I'd have to get drunk to watch the Cubs play everyday too.
