I've been to only a handful of major league facilities - Veteran's Stadium (I loved it, but objectively it was horrible), Citizen's Bank (great), old Yankees Stadium (great, for history only - the crowd there was as bad as any in Philadelphia) and PNC Park (great). Of those, PNC was the best, followed closely by Citizen's Bank Park (which I've been to at least 100 times).
Did I mention that Fenway trumps them all?
I think you're probably biased, but I've never been to Fenway. My brother has been to Fenway and says, for historic purposes, it's up there, but he would still rather see a game at one of the new(er) parks.
I also forgot to mention that I was at Camden Yards (back when it opened) and it was pretty fucking awesome.
The seats in Fenway suck... even the $85 Box Seats.
If you know where to go in Fenway you can get a great view.
The best seats are Standing Room Only, right behind Home Plate.
You are still close to the action, but you aren't crowded into a tiny seat.
Plus the bathroom and beer-vendor are right there behind you.
Even when I have Box Seats I don't sit there... I go back to the Standing Room Only section.
