Miller Park

Miller Park home of the Milwaukee Brewers got its name because of the Miller Brewing company so as you guessed it they only serve Miller products. it was built in 2001 so its relatively new and it holds up to about 45,000 people. In 2005, Sports Illustrated conducted fan surveys that rated Miller Park the best ballpark based on value per dollar spent. During the seventh inning stretch, in addition to "Take Me Out to the Ballgame", fans at Miller Park sing "Roll Out the Barrel", in salute to Milwaukee's beer-making history. They are also known for having a big slide in left field.

the swamp

Ben Hill Griffen Stadium, also known as the swamp, is home of the Florida Gators football team. one of the top 10 largest college stadiums it holds over 90,000 people. it got its name as the swamp because a coach in the early 90's said this..  ". . . a swamp is where Gators live. We feel comfortable there, but we hope our opponents feel tentative. A swamp is hot and sticky and can be dangerous. Only Gators get out alive.". it is a stadium i have gotten to visit and its atmosphere is something like no other. 





Busch Stadium

Busch stadium, one of the few stadiums named after a beer company, is hosting the world series right now as home of the St. Louis Cardinals. As you might guess they only serve Busch products in the beer department but the nicest part of the stadium is probably how you could see St. Louis arc in the back round in center field. the current Busch stadium is the newest of 3 and is there to stay for a while. Id love to go watch a world series game there

Jerry-tron

The cowboys new stadium is uniquely known for its enormous screen location on the roof just above the 50 yard line. people pay for seats where you cant even see the field but can see the huge screen. it holds 80,000 actual seats and about 110,000 with the seats available to see the screen ( probably why they hosted the superbowl there last year) the screen in the field is about 160 ft long making it the largest hd screen ever. pretty exciting to know if dumb people are standing in front of you the whole game and you just wanna watch the game you could just look up and watch it..

new edition

The newest addition to major league ball parks is actually an old field just rebuilt right next door and costs 1.2 billion dollars... Yankee Stadium.. the old yankee stadium was one of the oldest ball parks and they literally crossed the road and made a new and improved one. this new yankee stadium is one of the best 1.2 billion dollars that could have ever been spent it was worth every penny. its in the bronx new york so theres other forms of transportation getting there besides just driving (which you probably wont wanna do) Deffinitely a park im dying to visit just because of the prestige the yankee program has!
