Fenway No. 8 In New Ranking Of MLB Ballparks

BOSTON (CBS) – Red Sox fans will probably tell you that Fenway Park is one of the best ballparks in the country, and there's new evidence to back that up.

USA Today ranked all 30 major league parks based on overall experience, including the atmosphere, design, location, food and unique quirks.

Fenway came in at No. 8, with the newspaper noting the atmosphere is "tough to beat."

"It's a baseball landmark and everything about that is special," the ranking states.

But there does appear to be a dig at the sometimes cramped park, with the author pointing out that some will spend $100 "on an obstructed-view seat."

Coming in first in this ranking was Petco Park in San Diego.

USA Today's Top 5 Ballparks:

1. Petco Park, San Diego
2. AT&T Park, San Francisco
3. PNC Park, Pittsburgh
4. Wrigley Field, Chicago
5. Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles
