I maybe a homer, but I love Marlins Park. I also love PNC Park, that's a great place for baseball.
I hate the Rangers Ballpark ( they desperately need a retractable roof, their new park in a few years will have one ). I also hated when the Marlins played at the Dolphins Stadium, that was a terrible place for a baseball game. And of course Oakland is a dump.

I always loved Shea Stadium. Yeah, it was rickety, had narrow concourses, was cramped, the stairs in the upper deck were a death trap, the food sucked and it was kind of a dump.....but it was OUR dump. As a kid, my dad used to take me to countless Mets games during the summer so it always holds a special place in my heart. Greatest moment I saw in person there was Endy's catch in that ill-fated NLCS Game 7. That place rocked like nothing I've ever felt before.
I also love Citi Field and certainly prefer it to the new Yankee Stadium (me being a Met fan notwithstanding). Other favorites include PNC Park (as xeliou mentioned), probably my #1 baseball stadium I've been to, just the perfect place to watch a game. Coors Field and AT&T Park are also really nice.
Hate the Nassau Coliseum. Yeah, I went to tons of Islander games as a kid there too but holy shit that place is worse than some prisons, an absolute shithole. It has all of 2 small bathrooms, the narrowest of councourses I've ever seen and it actually smells like piss. They just spent a ton of money "renovating" it which consisted of a brand new facade around the outside and zero updates to the interior. It's just a nicer looking shithole now.

Liked the San Jose Arena (now the SAP Center). Great seats from anywhere.
Although Yankee Stadium had architectural beauty in 1965, we had seats behind a pole in right field under the bleachers that sucked.
Stanford Stadium when I was there in 1984 (Brazil vs Italy) just had horrible uncomfortable benches.

 War Memorial Stadium in Buffalo. "The Rockpile" had a bad name, but I thought it was cool. Seen my first baseball and football game there. And Roy Hobbs hit a famous HR there. Hated stadium, Three Rivers Stadium. Yeah, build the stadium at a scenic site and design it so you can't see any of the scenery. Any one with plastic grass will do. |

Of the ones I've been to, none I'd say I love. So I'd go with Ebbett's Field.
Hate: Oakland Coliseum

To answer my own question......I LOVE Milwaukee's Bradley Center, which will soon be destroyed (even though it's now less than 30 years old), once the new "Insert Corporate Name Here" Milwaukee Buck's arena opens (2018).
Yes, The Bradley Center is NOT flashy, NOT new, and decidedly NOT "cool"......all it IS, is a PERFECT, modern (as opposed to the old, UNmodern Milwaukee arena, which is now the home of the UWM Panthers, and somehow, at 67 years of age, still viable) place to watch a basketball game, or Admirals Hockey game, COMPLETE with corporate 'Skyboxes', which, somehow (we're told), aren't "good enough", and the very reason we need a NEW, BIGGER, and (somehow) BETTER arena, to stay relevant as a franchise in the 21st century. But I digress.....
The aforementioned UWM Panther Arena, is one I've never really liked.

Love: The Breslin Center Hate: The Georgia Dome I was 15 years too early for Breslin. Jenison Fieldhouse, where we nearly had a stampede when they finally opened the one set of doors for a Jethro Tull concert an hour after they were supposed to, though most of us had no contact with the ground at that point. |

They were using Jenison Fieldhouse for various women's sports when I attended MSU. Probably a good use for it. |
