Take into account aesthetics, uniqueness, neighborhood, historical events [including great games, feats accomplished there, even boxing, football games, etc.]. What the stadium meant or still means to the community. These are simply polite suggestions among any other factors you would like to consider.
Any facility used by a team in a ML [NA, NL, AA, UA, PL, AL, FL].
Feel free to state the reasoning behind your rankings and use the thread for discussion and debate as well.
Point System: I'll total up points as such: #1 = 15 points to #15 = 1 point. I'll add up the totals somewhere around the new year. You never know what kind of event will pop up this time of year. I will try to give 24 hour countdown before I add up the numbers.
*If you only type Yankee Stadium I am counting your vote for the original. There is only original [before and post renovation, it is the same place, even if not theoretically or in your heart, which I totally get, sorry though] and the new one [Yankee Stadium II].
*If you only type Polo Grounds I assume you mean Polo Grounds IV. There are 4 variations of the Polo Grounds. All are counted as separate buildings.
