James Verified Member Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 ESPN is currently running a contest where site users choose their favorite ballparks. It is a head to head bracket style voting. Target Field is currently winning by the largest margin (at least when I voted). It is up against Oakland co. Coliseum. When I voted it was 92% TF to 8% O.co. Here is a link to vote:http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/8060191/battle-ballparks-vote-mlb-best Edit: Camden Yards was also beating Rogers Center 92% to 8%.

ashbury Verified Member Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 It is up against Oakland co. Coliseum. When I voted it was 92% TF to 8% O.co.I'd guess that's more a vote against Oakland than a vote for TF. Later rounds will be interesting. FWIW I've had generally good experiences at Oakland's ballpark. Not sure why it gets so much hate.
Twins GFP Verified Member Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 I've always said TF reminds me a lot of Wrigley. Wrigley is worth the trip.
Cody Christie Twins Daily Contributor Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 Target Field is up against Camden Yards in a tough Elite Eight battle. Camden Yards is up big at this point. It would have to be a miracle comeback for Target Field.
twinzgrl Provisional Member Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 Target Field is awesome. But, I wish they'd replant those beautiful trees.
YourHouseIsMyHouse Provisional Member Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 Unfortunately, Miller Park is going to beat PNC. Brewer fans have been ballot stuffing. Miller isn't even a top 10 park in baseball and for some reason it's beating the best one.
righty8383 Verified Member Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 I made mention in the comments section of ESPN about Brewers fans stuffing ballots. A few Brewers fans who probably assumed I was a Pirates fan told me to stop whining LOL. I'm OK with TF getting beat by Camden Yards but Miller beating PNC is preposeterous. Its not like the Brewers have a huge fan base (by huge I mean top 5) but they have a way of coming out and voting in large numbers for these sorts of things. Last year, that catch by Revere was "best of the best" for a long time until a play by Ryan Braun knocked him off. The play by Braun was great but no way should have beat Revere's catch. Just another example of Ballot stuffing.

Cody Christie Twins Daily Contributor Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Miller Park is going to win and that upset me. I disliked Miller Park in the couple of games that I was there for a game. It feels like an airplane hanger.
Cody Christie Twins Daily Contributor Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Here is the link to the last day of voting: Miller Park vs. AT&T http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/8084525/battle-ballparks-championship-vote-mlb-best Miller Park is up big.
