    If Seatown can usurp San Fran on my list of favorite cities to visit ... I'll eat my hat.

    But it's got its chance now ...

    It probably won't, based on what I have heard about San Fran, but the baseball stadium is hands down the best in America. And I will not argue about this.

    I've never been to Pittsburgh's new digs. And I haven't been to a 'Jints game yet in S.F. I've heard raves about those two, as well.

    Probably tops on my list, among current parks I've been to, is Petco in San Diego. Amazing, amazing place to watch a game. And I haven't been back to Camden Yards since '96, but that's probably my all-time favorite.

    But I cannot WAIT to see the M's park. Can't fucking wait.

    Well, maybe I shouldn't be so adamant when I haven't been to Pittsburgh, San Fran, Philly or Petco, but I've been to Arlington and Baltimore and plenty of others and they are nice, but Safeco is legit.
    Not only does it have the concourse where you can always see the field (which is what puts it over the top, in my opinion), but it is just really, really nice. Has great food. No bad seats - except dead center in the third deck - and great views.
    You will enjoy your time there.
    The only thing lacking is a really cool Hall of Fame type thing. Arlington has a really cool HOF you can go into that has a ton of stuff on baseball history.

    a) You've got to have a franchise worthy of having a HOF before you can have a HOF. :D

    2) Almost *every* new park has a concourse where you can always see the field. And seats that always face the field. So, that's not that unique anymore ... although it is still spectacular, mind you. Fenway's gorgeous, but it's a hard, hard place to watch a game. Advantage, Safeco.

    Definitely think it's legit, though. Not knocking it in any way. I'm very excited to see a game there.

    On Pier 39, walking down the street, check out the Bush Man. The absolute highlight of the area.

    My favorite city, too.
