In no order...
1. Pepperdine - one of the sweetest views in baseball.
2. Rice - For a small private school, they can bring it. Nice view to the Houston Med Center as well.
3. South Carolina- just a well put together fully thought-out ballpark. Like the rest of the SEC schools on here, it gets rowdy as any.
4. Cal Poly - Another ballpark where the view makes it. Beautiful hills.
5. North Carolina- Reminds me of a minor league park without all the ads. Clean look, good trees surrounding it. One of the ACC's best.
6. Ole Miss - Beer showers for one of the best parks in baseball. They aint done adding to it either.
7. Cornerstone - Its a baseball stadium and dorm all in one.
8. App State - I don't care if the field is rubber... its so damn beautiful.
9. Texas A&M - Homer glasses aside, I love the 2 decks behind home with students/GA right above the visitor dugout.
10. Oklahoma St - Sometimes newer is just better. Okie St really hit a grandslam with their new stadium.
11. Hawaii - Did I mention I like 2 deck stadiums? Nice and steep. Plus everything is better with that kind of setting.
12. Arkansas - One of the biggest and best. The line to line seating is strong. Plus they just keep building on.
13. Santa Barbara- Those small west coast views just feel good.
14. Georgia Tech - Love the downtown ATL view. I believe its about to get a facelift too.
15. Oregon - That Nike money spends well. Great deign and the trees for days.
16. Mississippi St - The list wouldn't be complete without this beaut. Such a great design. 2 decks, lofts, lounge, wraps around, and they pack it.
17. OMAHA - This is kind of cheating, but who doesn't love when the champion is crowned. The best college posteason. Fight me march madness.

Great list. I have no disagreement with any of them with the exception of Omaha. Rosenblatt was the absolute best place to watch a big game in college baseball history. It always seemed to be 10 degrees warmer than the current downtown stadium. The new one just seems too sterile and corporate. Also, hitter's parks are so much better than pitcher's parks in creating drama.

Baseball
The last amateur sport left
Amazing how in 80s baseball was an afterthought
Now I enjoy it more than football and basketball due to nil and trf portal

Ive never been to another SEC baseball park so I have no idea how they compare to to Olsen Field but Ive always enjoyed attending games at Olsen. People have told me of great experiences at Arkansas and Mississippi.
The App State park looks nice. A person could also go for a hike after the game.

It really does. It just should be so much better than it is. And less f***ing ads.

Ground level ain’t terrible.

Here’s one you probably never even realized existed. Curtis Granderson Stadium - UIC. Funny thing is, it is exactly what the White Sox stadium should have been, but dumbass Reinsdorf built the stadium facing the projects lol
I’m a sucker for stadiums that have skylines in the background

BYU is pretty stunning
Not sure I'd love preseason practice, fall practice or the first 6 weeks of the season there

I considered that one but went with GT instead. Vandy’s view isn’t as good but they have a nice city location.

Yup. That’s dope. It was hard to narrow to 17.
There was a really odd ballpark with seating very narrow behind home on a hill. Now my old brain can’t remember it.
