I can agree with a Dodger fan on this, just don’t share my response to the Padre Reddit

Gotta agree with the other responses that the NL West has the strongest case.
Beyond that, I’d say probably NL Central. I’ve never been to GABP but it looks pretty nice. Miller Park is fine & has some quirks. Then you have Wrigley, PNC, & Busch which are all top tier parks in their own ways.

NL West wins with Petco and Oracle alone. Coors is pretty nice too

I’m going NL central even though Milwaukee feels like a prison when the roof is closed

NL West although NL Central is a strong contender.

AL East is like the Tale of Two Ballparks.
It was the best of parks, it was the worst of parks.

I’m comfortable with the (early) consensus being the NL West.
Who is the worst? AL West has the Coliseum (and an overheated minor league park in 2025) plus Globe Life; AL East has the Trop and a sterile Yankee Stadium; NL East has loanDepot, and folks aren’t crazy about Nats Park.

NL West and NL Central

###NL West:
Dodger Stadium is ICONIC
Oracle Park is BEAUTIFUL
Petco Park is OUTSTANDING
Chase Field
Coors Field is FANTASTIC

NL West, NL Central, AL Central top 3 in that order

NL West is hard to beat. Your weakest stadium is PROBABLY Chase and that’s, at worst, highly mediocre? Best of the group are 2 S tier in SF and SD?
I think AL + NL central have some arguments too but they just can’t reach the highs and their lows are lower.

NL West is too clearly the answer. Worst might be a more interesting question but even then I feel like the AL West might too easily take that one.

Biased opinion? NL Central
Unbiased opinion? NL Central
Wrigley, PNC, Busch, Great American. Does any other division have 4 ballparks that are as highly talked about as these?

I’ve been to 26 of the stadiums and have to go with NLWest. That said GABP and Busch Stadium are 2 of the 4 I’m missing so if those two are about equal to Coors and Oracle somehow then maybe the NLCentral is better

NL Central. Easily.
magikarp2122
NL Central easy. PNC is the best stadium in the majors, and GABP is beautiful (even if it is smaller than a bread box), Wrigley is Wrigley and only Fenway comes close as far as historic parks, new Busch looks nice but have never been, and Miller looks like an actual good roofed stadium.
The NL West is tanked hard by Chase being just a warehouse, and Dodger’s Stadium has the history, but none of the charm of Wrigley. ATT, Coors, and PETCO are great parks though.
AL Central has the same issue with Comiskey killing the overall ranking.
NL East has LoanDepot, so yeah.
AL East, the Trop exists.
AL West, the A’s stadium might actually be upgrading by going to a AAA park.

I am biased do NL West, but man the NL Central is great. I love PNC and Wrigley.

NL WEST: Best in terms of quality and uniqueness NL CENTRAL: Best in terms of consistent quality
AL CENTRAL: All pretty good, none great
NL EAST: All pretty good, none great
AL EAST: Two incredible, three meh
AL WEST: lol

I prefer stadiums that aren’t parking lots, so NL Central.
cogginsmatt
Maybe I’m biased, and it is the division I’ve been to the most stadiums for, but it’s AL Central. Even the worst stadium of the bunch (Guaranteed Rate) is pretty solid.

If original Yankee stadium were still with us I’d go AL East for having three iconic parks. As is I’m leaning NL Central because I think their worst park (Busch or Great American imo) is better than the best in other divisions. I haven’t actually been to any of the NL Central parks so my opinion is purely from what I see on tv
