As far as Angels Stadium's flaws go I don't have too much (hence why I said it was probably the most normal one) but Angels field does kind of learn towards a pitchers park. It's not a graveyard like Petco or Safeco but considering how Jered Weaver can be an ace there even though he'd most likely be a number 2 on most other teams, I can't help but feel like that kind of knocks a few points off of Angels Stadium's overall grade (which is still pretty higher than the rest of parks in the league).

Oh don't get me wrong, Dodgers Stadium is dope too. And it's even better now after the renovations. But I think the tranquil and sleek look at Angels Stadium makes it seem way sicker. I guess it depends on preference though.

But yeah Angels Stadium is definitely a pitchers' park. So is Dodgers Stadium to an extent, come to think of it.

O.co is definitely a joke stadium. It's got sewage problems and it looks like a toilet. Hell, even the A's are anxious to get the fuck out of Oakland and move to San Jose.
Minute Maid Park is a joke stadium. And I actually love the weird features like the hill in centerfield and the train inside the stadium, but I don't like how the place looks like one of the most miserable places on Earth on TV.
Rangers Ballpark In Arlington Globe Life Park is a joke since baseballs refuse to stay inside the stadium.
Safeco is a joke stadium since it's basically where hitters go to die.
The only "normal" stadium might be Angels Stadium and even that's got it's fair share of flaws.

Come to think about it I think the NL West might have more joke ballparks...

If Safeco is a joke, then Yankee stadium is as well for the opposite reason. I'll never forget when Johnny Damon hit a ball to right field, threw his bat down in frustration, and the ball went over the fence.

I guess I'm just a sucker for older stadiums. I adore Wrigley Field and like Fenway Park even though I'm not too fond of the team that calls that place home.

BTW, is it me or are the 5 stadiums in the NL West all extreme parks? Colorado and Arizona are extreme hitters parks and Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego are extreme pitchers parks. Is that a fair or flawed statement?

I like how you thought it necessary to shit on Yankee Stadium after I shit on Safeco.

I will agree that New Yankee Stadium is a joke though. Balls hit thrown over to right field refuse to stay inside the ballpark and the entire complex looks like a parody of the original house that Ruth built.
