Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore is the prototype "throwback" ballpark against which all those that came after are judged. The outfield skyline view and downtown setting shattered the myth that the '70's and '80's style suburban, multipurpose stadiums were the way to go.

The question, is the Camden Yards outfield view still the best, or has another taken its place?

Or is one of the old-time stadiums better? Let's hear it!

Do you have any pictures?

Only one I'm familiar with is Atlanta.

dodger stadium has a good skyline view from the parking lot (or the top of the stadium). After all its on a hill that overlooks downtown.

If the stadium would face the other direction it would be even better

Houston's orange juice stadium has a pretty good view of the skyline itself.

Here is Oriole Park

Dodger Stadium would have a good view if it faced the other way.

Pittsburgh's PNC Park definitely has the best skyline view:

PNC number one.

Camden Yards number 2.

Wrigley Field: not really a view of downtown Chicago but there are highrises in the background and Lake Michigan. (I hate the Cubs)

chicagogeorge--you can see the skyline from Wrigley, you just have to look out the back of the park.

I can't believe Detroit's Comerica Park isn't on your list

I know.. Samething with the skyline view from White Sox park. The view is from homeplate down the third base line, I just couldn't find any pics of the D/T skyline from that angle at Wrigley.

P.S.
I'll be at the Sox/Cubs game this Friday :cool:
It was freaking hard to get tickets.
Go Sox!

Houston's orange juice stadium has a pretty good view of the skyline itself.


I was going to say the same thing. Not to boost, but Minute Maid Park honeslty has the ideal view of a skyline from a ballpark. Everytime I think of MM Park, I think of the view.

pittsburgh and detroit really stand out in this department. lots of ballparks have good skyline views from a certain side of the field, or if you look out the back from the upper deck or whatever, but PNC and comerica are specifically sited to give maximum breath-taking skyline views to most of the ballpark. they are perfectly oriented to their respective skylines. PNC gets an ever so slight edge because of the river and those wonderful yellow suspension bridges in the skyline foreground.

I know that it isn't major league, but Victory Field in Indy, for the AAA Indianapolis Indians has got a great view...

Pittsburgh probably has the best skyline view, but Petco Park in San Diego isn't that bad.

So far I think Pittsburgh and Detroit have the best views (at least from the pics I've seen)

Camden Yards and Wrigley Field don't really have that great of views. Houston's is nice, but is it only from a certain angle?

Comerica Park; Detroit, Michigan:

The proposed Twins stadium, which looks likely to pass this year according to some reports will boast a very nice view of downtown. Not only will the view be nice, but it will be right in downtown.

http://minnesota.twins.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/min/ballpark/index.jsp

Miami sulks in jealousy wishing we could get a new stadium :( Instead the Marlins play in a suburban football stadium.

The problem with San Diego Petco Park it is FAR from having a completed view. I would say right now, the pittsburgh view is awesome. It is easily the best view in all of baseball. I would say, given the unique makeup of baseball stadiums, it is the best view from a seat, in all of the world.

But back to San Diego. Petco Park is due to have an entire region built right around it. Not a new building here or there. But, an entire downtown. I know that in doing research, the area directly in view from homeplate will have 6 or 7 skyscrapers within a block or two of the outfield wall, and dozens more within sight. If you include a new city library with glowing globe at night and 5 skyscrapers visible from 3rd base seats and the entire bulk of the downtown bayside from first base. the future skyline of Petco Park will be in a class only matched by Pittsburgh. It will be the only two stadiums in the world with such views.

So far its Pittsburg and Detroit, but if we're considering just the stadia, then Baltimore's wins....hands down.

Camden Yards and Wrigley Field don't really have that great of views.
wrigley actually has great views from the stands, it's just not a view of the downtown chicago skyline. wrigley is oriented to the northeast, and the views of the apartment buildings across waveland and sheffield with their roof top bleachers, and the dense urban fabric of wrigleyville leading up to the lakeview skyline which includes a couple 500+ foot buildings with lake michigan in the background, is actually really good. obviously you only get views of the lake if you sit in the upper deck. wrigley is also located 4.5 miles north of downtown, so it probably has one of the best skyline views of a non-downtown ballpark. check it out:


http://skyscraperpage.com/gallery/data/554/6324wrigley_skyline.jpg


and that skyline gap immediately to the left of the tall building on the right side of the pic is due to be filled by a proposed 30 story building.

^Nice photo. That dark residential building on the far left is around 54 stories high. To have a building that tall about 5 miles north of the center of downtown is pretty impressive.

After seeing these other photos, I revise my earlier statement about PNC Park "definitely" having the best skyline view. Detroit's stadium is about as good.

The proposed Twins stadium, which looks likely to pass this year according to some reports will boast a very nice view of downtown. Not only will the view be nice, but it will be right in downtown.

Yup, it will be nice. It's right in the warehouse district too, so the clubs and bars are already there!!

Wow, Pittsburghs is amazing. It's pretty much just across the street from the stadium.

Maybe I'm being alittle bit biased.... but I LOVE teh Philly skyline view from Citizens Bank Ballpark. It's so panoramic and is my favorite angle to look at my city's skyline. I vote for other!!!! YEAH!!!

My pick however is Pittsburgh. Looks awesome from there.

Wow...I had no clue when I started this thread that it would get such a response. Pittsburg is definitely the best...skyline and river view is tremendous.

Detroit is the biggest omission from my list..I had no clue the view was so good from that ballpark. But I was hoping the thread would draw out great photos and it has.

Philly's skyline is barely within binocular range..that's why I didn't include that one...I wanted parks where the skyline looms over the field.

If Baltimore had some taller buildings the view might be better from Camden Yards, but for overall ambience it might be tough to beat.

Coors field in Denver wasn't included because it faces the wrong way..what were they thinking?

Detroit is the biggest omission from my list..I had no clue the view was so good from that ballpark. But I was hoping the thread would draw out great photos and it has.

Don't worry. We're pretty much used to getting no respect...;)

Wow, Philly's ballpark is so far away from their skyline. Like micrip said it would barely be visible with binoculars.

PNC Park in Pittsburgh definately has the best skyline view in America.

where is citizens bank park in philadelphia on this list?


I think the answer to that is quite obvious. John Street tried to force a square peg into a round hole when he tried putting the stadium into China town. Then when the people rightfully protested, he just gave up and put it right where the old one was. He could have tried someplace like Penns landing or one of the warehouse areas off of Columbus Blvd, but nope. We get stuck with an AWESOME park in a boring location.
The view there is terrible. If you sit on the right field side of things and its not a hazy day, then you can see the downtown in the distance. If you sit on the left field side of things, then you have a great view of I-95, warehouses, and NJ (ugh!)

In my opinon for this poll, I agree that Pittsburgh wins with Detroit a close 2nd. I think Camden Yards is one of the best ballparks in the country, but Baltimore's skyline doesn't even compare to either of those two cities.

^Nice photo. That dark residential building on the far left is around 54 stories high. To have a building that tall about 5 miles north of the center of downtown is pretty impressive.

After seeing these other photos, I revise my earlier statement about PNC Park "definitely" having the best skyline view. Detroit's stadium is about as good.

Park Place Tower. I used to live there. It is actually 56 stories, with the top floor being for mechanical purposes...so 55 stories of residences.

Whenver I get tickets at Wrigley, I always get Upper Deck Box seats along third base specifically so I can stare at the Lakeview Skyline. If you are sitting in UDB seats in right field, you'll get a good look along the lake at the Edgewater skyline as well. You can see downtown from certain areas of the bleachers and on the councourses.

I would have to say that the Lakeview skyline view from Wrigley is extremely impressive when you consider the fact that it is 4 miles from downtown. When you are at Wrigley Field, you are looking at the skyline of a residential neighborhood, which can hold its own with the CBD skyline of some other reasonably sized cities.

Rosenblatt (in Omaha, AAA of KC Royals. We're the Royals too.) doesn't have much of a view now. It is the largest Minor League stadium with 25,000. Since the Royals don't draw nearly that much thay want a smaller stadium in the 10,000-15,000 range Downtown. The bottom picture shows where it would go and the view.

Where the stadium could go. It's not the best view but we are getting a new 30 story building next to the green box (Union Pacific) so it will be better. I'm not sure I want the stadium here, or at all.

I finally got to get my friend's camera that has pictures of Wrigley and the Cubs game I went to a couple weeks ago. It may not have a great skyline view in the outfield, but it's arguably one of the coolest places to watch a baseball game.

Anyway, here's that view of the Chicago skyline from out the back of the park:

The topic is best skyline view from the ballpark, not best skyline including the ballpark. If you can't see all of those buildings while seated in the park, then the park does not have a great view.

You can see most of them. CincoRanch just posted a picture.

Well you know the Braves might accidentally break a window or two with all those homeruns.

The only outfield/skyline view you're going to get at SBC (formerly Pacific Bell) Park is the Oakland skyline across the bay, at best on a clear day. PNC Park clearly has the best skyline backdrop for watching a ballgame. On the other hand, San Francisco's is the best-looking skyline behind the stands of any given ballpark in America! I wish I had that classic photo of SBC park as taken from high above McCovey cove with the downtown skyline in the background.

This is the shot I was referring to on the preceeding post.

Turner Field is actually not that far from downtown. Nowhere near as far as Citizens Bank Park is from DT Philly. Probably only 1/4 to 1/2 of a mile. From the upper deck the view is really nice. Here's a more recent image without the old stadium blocking the view:

Pittsburgh has a knockout view - number one IMO. Some of the other ones have great views, too.

I'm going to have to vote Pittsburgh, with Chicago at a close second if that picture really is taken from the park.

nice pictures altogether!!

The view from Sacramento's Raley Field is pretty nice.
http://www.jrroberts.com/images/rf4.jpg


But as far as major league parks go, I'd have to say Pittsburgh.

Let's see some pic's of the Jake!

PNC.

To say which one is the best is too hard. I know that Safeco field is amazing and most people I know that have been in a good number of them think its one of the best if not the best. Ill just say I like it but I have only been in Yankee Stadium, Camden Yards, and Safeco Field.

PNC, Gotten to go to a few games there,and often find myself just looking at the skyline rather then the game.

The answer is Comerica in Detroit and PNC in Pittsburgh.

this is the best your gonna get from Miller Park in Milwaukee

http://www.photofile.com/Photos/Albums/Stadiums/MLB/Images/Fenway_Park3.jpg

Camden Yards is my Fav. but PNC is the best view right now, IMHO.

PNC Park for sure.

Pac Bell would have won, but it's not facing it. Of course, they built it that way so they could have homers fall into the bay instead.

I like Camden

Not assessing the view, but how it is accessed, i don't think any ball park does as well as Comerica Park in openning up vistas.

It not only has a relatively open (undecked) outfield, the slope of the main decks appears to be the most gentle in MLB. No park opens the outfield up the way this one does.

I think Comerica also distinguishes itself by the grade of its deck slopes. No park is as low rise as this one is.

For a none skyline, but montain view, i like salem avalanches (Salem, Va)

Pretty much all of them will be done by 2008-2009. There are I believe 4 others not in these pics that reach the height limit of the city. Not including, additionally the Ballpark Village seen in the renderings if you scroll up the page a bit. Enjoy!
