I just booked a quick trip to DC to see the Cubs there Labor Day weekend and that will make 24 total and 19 active parks for me.  I have Seattle, Anaheim, San Diego, Arizona, Mets, Yankees, Toronto, Philly, Atlanta, TB, and Miami left.

Wrigley, SF, Baltimore, Great American, and PNC are probably my current top 5 in no particular order.  I went to Arlington and Houston last month and while I appreciate the indoor park so you're not sitting in 100 degree heat most games, indoor baseball kinda sucks.

Not as many as I'd like.  I think my list is:

Wrigley, Milwaukee, The Cell, Busch (current), Safeco, The King Dome (I think my only defunct one?), Fenway, Dodger Stadium, Oracle Park

I think Oracle is my favorite non-Wrigley Park by a decent margin.  Safeco is pretty great though.  I didn't enjoy Fenway as much as I wanted, though there were some extenuating circumstances as it was one of those 4PM Saturday afternoon games FOX picks up and so I was essentially staring directly into the sun for about 6 innings.

Work is supposed to start taking me to New York a few times a year, so I'm hoping to knock out both NYC parks next year.

I have watched home games in the current stadium of the Cubs, Orioles, Rays, Guardians, Rangers, Angels, A's, and Braves. Wrigley and Oriole Park are the only ones I have been to multiple times and the only ones in this list I want to re-visit.

I went to a Twins game at the old dome.

With no games going on, I have been in or around the stadiums of the Yankees, Red Sox, Blue Jays, Twins, Royals, White Sox, Mariners, Phillies, Mets, Nationals, Marlins, Cardinals, Reds, Diamondbacks, Giants, and Rockies. Fenway is the only one in this list I am sad about not watching a game.

That leaves the Tigers, Astros, Brewers, Pirates, Dodgers, and Padres. I've spent a lot of time at the DTW airport but never in Detroit. Never been to Houston, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, or San Diego. I've seen a lot of LA, but I've never been near Chavez Ravine.

You guys are lucky. I've been to 3 current parks - Wrigley, GABP and Guaranteed Rate. Apparently my mom took me to a game at Cleveland Municipal when I was a baby (I was born in a suburb but we moved when I was 1). That's it.

Guaranteed Rate was better than I thought it would be (getting cheap club seats helped), GABP was fine but unremarkable, Wrigley is Wrigley.

Wrigley

Citizens Bank Park (I live in Philly)

Yankee Stadium

Fenway

Truist Park

Rogers Centre

Coors Field

Old Yankee Stadium

Shea Stadium

The Vet

I would love to see more. I do love CBP. Went to Coors last year and it lived up to expectations. Truist was a pain to get to and from staying downtown but they did a pretty great job with the ballpark and area around it.
