thankyoufriendx3@reddit

Cubs. Sit in the right field bleachers of a night game. To be fail, I’m a Cubs fan. I’ve taken family and friends from all over the world there. It’s a good time.

[-]

YOUTUBEFREEKYOYO@reddit

Dodgers in their home stadium, though I'm biased as I'm a dodgers fan.

[-]

Reduak@reddit

Cubs at Wrigley is the way to go, and Chicago is such a great city.

[-]

Weightmonster@reddit

Honestly, I would go to a minor league game instead.

[-]

A good answer. I'd probably still vote for Wrigley first, but if minor league games are anything like spring training games, they're cheaper, more chill, you're closer to the field regardless of your seat, and it's more fun. You don't get the excitement of winning or losing, and you probably won't see big names, but it's great.

[-]

goodamm@reddit (OP)

Is that like the Brooklyn cyclones? I was thinking about going there because it’s a cheap game

[-]

G00dSh0tJans0n@reddit

If I had to pick, Chicago cubs at Wrigley field is THE classic baseball experience. Second would be New York Yankees at Yankee stadium and a distant 3rd would be Dodgers - a ballpark in an ocean of parking is so uninviting.

[-]

Unlikely_Tea_2038@reddit

Wrigley. 100%.

[-]

bearfootin_9@reddit

Since you didn't include the SF Giants and the jewel that is their ballpark, Cubs at Wrigley is the only answer. Fuck the Dodgers and the Yankees and their crummy parks and fans and money.

Of the three, Wrigley is the oldest field with the most history and the most charm.

Its also the last surviving stadium in which Jackie Robinson played in.

[-]

Oknocando@reddit

Jackie Robinson never played at Fenway?

[-]

tenehemia@reddit

There was no interleague play during the season back then and although Robinson had several World Series appearances, they were all against the Yankees. The same year Robinson started playing for the Dodgers the Yankees began an absolutely ridiculous streak of appearing in the World Series representing the American League ten times in twelve years.

[-]

[-]

okeverythingsok@reddit

It really depends on what you want. The three cities are so different, and so are the stadium experiences, the surrounding neighborhoods, other fans, food, getting there, etc. And all great in their own ways tbh.

But, the answer is Wrigley, lol. It’s in a class of its own.

[-]

us287@reddit

Wrigley and Fenway are the only “old” parks in the league, they have a charm nothing newer can match (even LA even though the Dodgers stadium is pretty old)

[-]

UrbanEconomist@reddit

Fellow Rangers fan chiming in to agree completely. Wrigley is the answer, here. It feels like participating in baseball history—and the actual neighborhood around it (not a vast sea of surface parking) can be fun before/after the game.

[-]

superhex12345@reddit

Agreed. Wrigley is the obvious choice if you only care about the game. I love Chicago but if the choice is which city, it's NY.

[-]

Mean-Concentrate-257@reddit

Yeah. They would all be fun, but if you can't go to Fenway, Wrigley is the place to see a game. Especially if you're not super super into baseball but want a nostalgic, historic, awesome baseball experience.

KittyBungholeFire@reddit

Sydney to LA is a 13h50m flight (on average) LA to Chicago is a 4h10m flight (on average) LA to NYC is a 5h50m flight (on average)

Sometimes people outside the US really don't understand how big our country is and how long it takes to get from one place to another. I've seen so many posts about people thinking they'll do something like have breakfast in LA, drive to the Grand Canyon later in the morning, then drive to Vegas after lunch, then drive back to LA for dinner. It's a 7.5h drive from LA to the Grand Canyon (500 miles, 805km), then another 4h to Vegas (275 miles, 443km), then another 4h back to LA (270 miles, 435km).

PhilTheThrill1808@reddit

Gotcha. That makes sense. In that case, I would say Wrigley or Yankee Stadium. The Dodgers used to be Brooklyn based, so there isn’t a lot of history or tradition there. Makes it less interesting

[-]

malvado@reddit

lol the Dodgers have been in LA as long as half the teams in baseball have even existed! They have a ton of history - and far more success than they ever did out in New York.

HankyPanky80@reddit

Go to all three. Mid week games in the middle of summer typically aren't priced to bad. A game is typically 3 hours. No rule says you have to stay for all of it. At Wrigley you should stay until at least the middle of the 7th inning. Any Dodgers or Yankees fans can tell you the must see things at their stadiums.

[-]

Cinisajoy2@reddit

Are you driving or flying?

[-]

IP_What@reddit

Wrigley is the right answer if you must only go to one game. It’s the best experience. Buuut, you should go to Wrigley and Dodger stadium. The Especially if Shohei is pitching.

[-]

donuttrackme@reddit

That dude dismissed Dodger Stadium way too easily. While it doesn't have the history of Wrigley, it's actually much older than the current Yankee Stadium. It actually has a ton of history and and tradition there. You honestly can't go wrong with visiting any of these places, so in the end it's what you value more, and what fits your schedule better.

[-]

I had no idea Wrigley would be the first voted one! I honestly would’ve assumed it last, but I’ll definitely be going to see the Chicago Cubs THANKS EVERYONE!!!

Enjoy! New York and Los Angeles are both great cities, and New York is the greatest in many respects. But those two cities are exceptional in ways that make them very different from other American cities. I think Chicago is the most American of the great cities. Visiting it provides you with a reasonably representative feel for other large cities across the country. And its Museums certainly punch above their weight.

[-]

Kevincelt@reddit

Chicago Cubs because I’m biased. For real though, it’s a great old stadium that’s also fixed up enough and has a really great fan atmosphere. The entire neighborhood around the stadium is centered on the stadium and team, so lots to do, drink, and eat. Plus you can get there with public transportation if you want since the L stop is right next to the stadium. At the end of the day I would say go to the team you like the most since that’ll be fulfilling, but Chicago is the best choice of the three in my opinion for the more classic stadium vibe and experience.

[-]

Fah-que@reddit

Wrigley for sure.

[-]

the-quibbler@reddit

If you're not going to Fenway to see the Sox, then it should be the Cubbies.

[-]

One-Pangolin-3167@reddit

Wrigley Field. But I'd also nominate Oracle Park in SF as the most picturesque and nearly a must.

[-]

LetterheadClassic306@reddit

i feel you on wanting that authentic vibe. wrigley field gives you the old school baseball feel that movies capture - ivy on the walls, hand turned scoreboard, neighborhood setting. grabbed a portable stadium seat cushion last time and it saved my back on those old wooden benches. also packed a clear stadium bag to get through security faster. yankee stadium feels more corporate and dodger stadium has great views but wrigley wins for pure nostalgia.

Mr_Salty87@reddit

Wrigley. Go Cubs!

[-]

LinuxLinus@reddit

Cubs at Wrigley first, Dodgers at Dodger Stadium second. Yankee Stadium is just a facsimile of what it used to be.

I've been to all of them. Wrigley still has the feel of an old, in-town ballpark. You can take the train there, and walk right up, passing masses of people and bars full of fans. Dodger Stadium doesn't have that feel, though it might be the most beautiful ballpark in baseball, with the palm trees and the sunshine and being parked on top of a hill.

Yankee Stadium is fine, but like I said, it's basically a copy of an old stadium that has since been torn down. It didn't do much for me when I was there. Even the "old" Yankee Stadium -- which I have also been to -- didn't have the original character of the place where Ruth, Dimaggio, and Mantle played, because it had been reconfigured so drastically.

[-]

DharmaCub@reddit

I'm a dodger fan, from LA and I love Dodger Stadium, but it is no where close to the most beautiful park. PNC, Camden Yards, Oracle, Petco all beat it out easily for beauty. Design wise Fenway and Wrigley are cooler.

Wrigley! It's the ultimate baseball stop

Fenway. There’s a reason it way chosen as the ultimate experience in Field of Dreams. It is the temple of baseball. The green monster is the ultimate challenge. Also the Sox are a better team… most years.

[-]

Wicket2024@reddit

Wrigley Field in Chicago. Second oldest ballpark in the US behind Red Sox. It has its own vibe. Ivy on the outfield wall, bleacher seats, people watching from the roof tops across the street. 7th inning stretch where everyone stands up and sings take me out to the ballgame is mandatory, no exceptions. As a women I have never seen, but heard of the troughs in the men's bathrooms. It is also in the middle of a lively neighborhood where there are many bars and restaurants you can hang out in before and after the game. Only downside is parking (there is no official parking) but you can take public transportation or drive around and find a spot. Anyone who has a lot or driveway has paid parking, the closer to the stadium and higher the prices, or you could try for street parking for free (my Dad never paid for parking). Even the walk is nice from the car because you go through tree lined neighborhoods.

[-]

Ok_Orchid1004@reddit

Wrigley

[-]

winteriscoming9099@reddit

I’m a Yankees fan, for reference, but I’d probably go with Wrigley. It’s a class of its own. It and Fenway are the old parks of the league, and it’s got a very old charm. The neighborhood is great around it, the vibes are great, and the stadium is charming. It’s great part of Chicago. Hit it up during the daytime. I lived in Chicago for a couple years and it was a great spot to visit.

Dodger stadium is cool as well. The dodgers are also likely to be the best team out of the three… very star studded. The stadium is also very cool and historic. Going to a Yankees game is also great, the vibes are great, but the stadium feels kinda corporate.

[-]

Restoretheroof@reddit

If you’re going to be in NYC then take a train up to Boston and take in a game at Fenway. About a 4hr trip and it a great stadium to watch a game. Spend the day in Boston and make the trip back.

I happened to be in Boston a couple of years ago and got to make a post-season game. Nothing like singing Sweet Caroline with a stadium full of Red Sox fans.

[-]

tippitytopps@reddit

Are any of these slated to be either good games or big rivalry games? E.g. sox playing the Yankees?

If you’ve got no allegiances that’s what I’d choose based on. (I think the dodgers are the least interesting of these teams historically and vibe wise, if that’s at all helpful)

[-]

IP_What@reddit

If OP wants to see good baseball, it’s the Dodgers by a mile. If OP is a baseball fan, you don’t pass up an opportunity to see the greatest to ever play the game. And the rest of the team are no slouches either. Seeing Ohtani pitch >>>>> seeing probably non-contending rivals in spring/early summer at a soulless park.

If OP wants ballpark experience, it’s Wrigley by a mile.

I think OP should see both the Dodgers and the cubs, and then get on a train that’s 3 hours each way to see Camden Yards, before going to a Yankees game.

Wrigley but you have to be careful about where you sit. The sight lines aren’t great from a lot of the seats. It can also be like 94 degrees and 60% humidity, and you can be in the direct sunlight the entire game.

The stadium isn’t that nice, it’s just a really great atmosphere.

But yeah of those choices Wrigley, followed by yankee, and a distant third Chavez ravine.

IHaveBoxerDogs@reddit

I’ve never been to Yankee Stadium so I really can’t add it to my comparison.

Dodger Stadium is really nice and such a beautiful setting, but it is hard to get to. You have to deal with L.A. traffic. But, the Dodgers will most likely win the game, and it’s always fun to watch a hometown win.

Wrigley Field, isn’t hard to get to, and is a lot of fun, sadly the Cubbies are currently in last place. But, because you’re traveling, I’d choose Wrigley because it’s easier to get to.

Significant-Track797@reddit

The correct answer is Red Sox at Fenway.

It’s an amazing historic stadium, Boston is a cool city, the fans are wild in the funnest way.

The second correct answer is a Mets game because it’s easy to get to from NY and it’s not the Yankees.

But of your three options I’d say the Cubs for similar reasons. Great nostalgic baseball vibes.

Logistically, Yankee Stadium is super easy to get to on the subway, but as a Red Sox fan I cannot support them.

If the Yankees are playing the Red Sox or the Mets while you are there ABSOLUTELY go! Both are wild series and always worth watching.

Blue387@reddit

Citi Field is a more fun place than Yankee Stadium

omg_pwnies@reddit

I came here to say the Red Sox at Fenway, as well. Really cool, historic stadium, all of Boston's neighborhoods are interesting, and their public transportation is great. The T takes you right to the stadium, so there aren't parking woes.

Prestigious-Comb4280@reddit

The L goes to Wrigley. Fenway is a close second but I prefer Boston for a city.

[-]

Prestigious-Comb4280@reddit

Fenway is my other favorite

Spitting straight facts here, except I'd put the Cubs over the Mets

maybe watch at a bar instead? otherwise you are going to waste a whole day of your vacation on this.

goodamm@reddit (OP)

Nahhhh I wouldn’t spend the time watching it through a tv. I have 3 months there so one day watching a baseball is a must do for me! I feel like it’s a great way to experience the American culture

nyyforever2018@reddit

They are all very different. If you want the best quality of players and best team in the world, go to Dodger Stadium. For the old-timey, 1920s classic ballpark feel, Wrigley. For the grandest stadium and the team with the richest history and most notable figures in the game’s history, Yankee Stadium (it’s also by far the newest and has the most modern luxuries of the three easily if that matters to you)

Wrigley

Responsible-Care-388@reddit

Going to get downvoted to oblivion for this but I disagree with the majority here and recommend you go for dodger stadium first. There is a lot of Asian representation on that team and the dodgers are the most “global” team right now, so if you’re gonna watch a sport you haven’t seen and know nothing about, I would probably want to watch the best team.

Yankees would be fine too if you’re going to spend a lot of time in NYC. Seeing a Yankees or Mets game would be part of a quintessential trip there.

Cubs and Wrigley field are great too but this board is full of people from Chicago who constantly glaze the city a bit too much, and the team has historical animosity towards the other two you are considering, leading to more lopsided responses.

Wrigley is the right choice.

Mr_Kinton@reddit

Dodgers will have the best on-field product and Dodger Stadium is a mid-century Southern California classic venue with some stunning views of the city and mountains, but overall stadium and baseball experience, it’s Wrigley hands-down. Much easier to get to via transit, right in the middle of a charming northern Chicago neighborhood surrounded by bars and restaurants, and a short walk from Lake Michigan.

For your purposes, it’s:

Wrigley
Dodger Stadium
Yankee Stadium

[-]

SidewaysGoose57@reddit

Cubs all the way.

MEXICOCHIVAS14@reddit

Wrigley, not even a baseball fan nor Chicago fan.

[-]

anclwar@reddit

Wrigley. There is no debate on this. If you only have one chance to see a game, it should be there.

[-]

nowhereman136@reddit

Dodgers and Yankees are good teams with good stadiums. But Wrigley field is a historic venue with classic baseball architecture and fun traditions. I wouldn't go all the way to Chicago just to see a baseball game, but if you are in all three anyway, the Chicago is best

[-]

life_experienced@reddit

This is what I loved! Wrigley was so easy to get to and is in such a pleasant neighborhood.

The first time I went there, I was AGOG because the people really did sit out on their roofs or balconies around the park and watch the game. I think most of those buildings are gone now.

We're SF fans and recently went to a Giants-Cubs game, but it really could have been any game. It's just a super fun time at Wrigley Field.

Also, it will be great for an Australian because those Cubs fans really drink.

[-]

alternateldog@reddit

Where in the US are you traveling to otherwise? These places are all very far away from each other

[-]

evanexcursions@reddit

Dodger Stadium: Middle of a parking lot. It takes literal hours to leave...there is nothing in the surrounding area.

Yankee Stadium: easy to get to, a few more things to do around the park. It was rebuilt about 20 years ago, not the same as "The House that Ruth Built"

Wrigley: in the middle of a neighborhood, super easy to get to. Tons of bars and restaurants around the park. Be aware of obstructed views when you buy tickets, but far and away the best experience if you can only do one

[-]

CosyBeluga@reddit

Wrigley definitely...the vibes in the area is so incredibly old school

[-]

PPKA2757@reddit

Wrigley, and it’s not even close.

[-]

Impossible_Emu5095@reddit

All three. They are iconic teams. And Wrigley Field is a landmark.

[-]

ocvagabond@reddit

The Wrigley vibe is mainly a game day vibe outside the stadium. Make sure to take advantage. Great experience.

Interesting to pick a place to visit solely for the sports experience. That’s cool.

[-]

Wrigley! 100%

[-]

I've seen a few games at Wrigley, old Yankees stadium sure new....meh. so probably Dodgers

[-]

Cubs because fuck the Dodgers and fuck the Yankees. Those two teams have got to be the two most hated teams in baseball. Everyone likes the Cubs. Everyone likes Wrigley.

Absolutely positively Wrigley Field, and I've been to almost all of them.

Wrigley is the best park, Chicago is the best city. Clear winner.

[-]

4Q69freak@reddit

Cubs at Wrigley, but I’m a Cubs fan. Wrigley is in a neighborhood (Wrigleyville) that has bars and restaurants all around. Wrigley is also the second oldest active ballpark in the US, behind Fenway in Boston. The Ivy, the manual scoreboard, singing Take Me Out To The Ballgame during the 7th inning stretch with the celebrity or with an old video of Harry Carey (Cubs tv announcer in the ‘80s and ‘90s that started the tradition), and throwing back an opposing team’s home run ball. A Cubs/Cards game is always sold out and half of the ballpark will be in Cubbie blue and the other in that nasty Cardinal’s red Igrew up almost exactly halfway between Chicago and St Louis and everyone is either a Cubs fan or a Cardinals fan.

cdecker0606@reddit

Wrigley! Hands down.

[-]

Annhl8rX@reddit

If you decide to go to Wrigley, don’t make the mistake I did and buy “good” seats. We sat about three rows behind the visitors’ dugout. It was a great view, but there was absolutely none of the “Wrigley experience” people talk about. It was just watching a game between two teams I don’t care about in what can only be described as a horribly outdated ballpark.

I love Fenway, but left the game at Wrigley in the 5th inning because the whole thing was so disappointing. Sitting in the outfield with the wild crowd may be a totally different thing (hopefully I get the chance to find out at some point).

If any of them is a rivalry game, go to that one. Meaning: Dodgers vs Giants, Yankees vs Red Sox, Cubs vs Cardinals.

As a dodger fan I would say Wrigley. Beautiful historic stadium, lots going on around the stadium and tickets are about a quarter the price of a dodger game

[-]

Additional-Software4@reddit

If you dont really care about baseball and just want the baseball experience, Wrigley Field is the best choice.

If you at least want to be able to say you saw the greatest baseball player of all time in person, then Dodgers.

Be warned that while Dodger stadium is nice, but the location is a total disaster.

[-]

guy_incog_neato@reddit

wrigley, hands down.

also, if you are a drinker wrigleyville post (day) game was one of the most fun times i ever had when visiting another city.

Since you are mainly going for the vibe, definitely Wrigley.

[-]

Responsible-Yam4748@reddit

Wrigley hands down. Much better vibe. The other two are not as great in terms of getting the feel for baseball. Now if it was the old Yankees Stadium we could have more of a conversation.

Wrigley is the oldest stadium of the bunch although Yankees is probably a more iconic team. Depends on the rest of your trip!

If all you care about is the experience of enjoying a ballgame and soaking in the atmosphere Wrigley wins hands down. Get a Chicago hot dog while you’re there.

salajander@reddit

Speaking as a Yankees fan that's been to games at all three, absolutely go see the Cubs at Wrigley.

[-]

OldRaj@reddit

Definitely Chicago.

[-]

jsmeeker@reddit

For me personally? New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium. Because I've already done the other two options.

For you? I suggest the Cubs at Wrigley. It's a classic proper old sports stadium. You'll love it.

[-]

hungaryboii@reddit

Out of these three I'd say Wrigley, but i was spoiled living in pittsburgh with pnc Park, one of the more beautiful ball parks

[-]

duke_awapuhi@reddit

Wrigley. Dodger stadium is nothing to write home about, it’s basically the Oakland Coliseum if it still had a nice view (but filled with dodgers fans bleh) and Yankee stadium is just new and bland. Wrigley is the real deal, classic experience that you want.

Of course, as a biased Bay Arean, I’ll use this opportunity to add that if you’re someone visiting the US, there’s really no other choice but to come experience San Francisco, the best city in the US. And you can go to a giants game which is a great ballpark with a great fan experience. You wouldn’t be disappointed

Yeah.. obligatory hate the Red Sox but if you’re comparing experiences Wrigley and Fenway are the top by far. Yankee Stadium is now a soulless corporate version of itself

[-]

Weird_Squirrel_8382@reddit

I'd choose depending on my flight and length of stay. If you're choosing a stadium first and then choosing accommodations from there, I'd say Chicago. It feels like a "take me out to the ballgame" type experience.

[-]

FatahRuark@reddit

Wrigley. Yankee and Dodger Stadiums are both much larger. Also Chicago fans are some of the friendliest around.

lawyerjsd@reddit

Of those three, Wrigley is going to be the best time. But. . .if you are going for a good time and a vibe, I'd suggest going to a Padres game at Petco, or a Giants game at Oracle Park. Both ballparks are newer, nicer, and at Petco, there are tremendous vibes.
