There are many different, objective ways to measure which Major League Baseball stadiums are the best, but the folks at the New York Times took a highly scientific approach to their rankings.
↵They went to popular online review site Yelp.com and checked out the ratings that people left for the various stadiums.
↵Seriously, I'm not making that up. Stop laughing.
↵But using these rankings, among current stadiums, Target Field is one of the more well-regarded stadiums in baseball, having come in fourth on the overall list behind Pittsburgh's PNC Park, Boston's Fenway Park, and San Francisco's AT&T Park (which has had about 23 different names in the time it has been open).
↵From the looks of the survey, it's a good thing that the Twins got themselves some new digs, too. . .because their old home, the Metrodome, was not very highly regarded at all, as one would imagine. The Metrodome rated just a 2.21 on the 1 to 5 scale that the Yelp rankings used, which puts it at the bottom of all stadiums listed, which includes a few stadiums that are no longer used for baseball.
↵So, the team stinks. . .but hey, at least they stink on a nice field with good food, eh?
