Top 100 Stadium Experiences of 2015

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

For the fifth consecutive season, we are very pleased to present our ranking of the 100 best stadium experiences of 2015. The correspondents of Stadium Journey have now reviewed more than 2,300 venues, and we continue to make return visits to update our information and assessments for you the fan. Our ratings take into account the food & beverage served in the stadium, the overall atmosphere, the neighborhood where the stadium is located, the fans, access (which includes traffic, parking, ability to move around, and restrooms), the overall return on investment, and one final "extras" category. We use the ratings of our correspondents as our primary ranking tool, with the ratings of our members as a tiebreaker. For the full review, just click on any of the stadium names listed below. Enjoy the Journey in 2016!

Good read!

Ridiculous that they have South Carolina and LSU's Alex Box stadiums in their Top 10, and us ranked this low.  With Dudy Noble (MSU) ranked #51, they have us no better than 4th in the SEC!

And, by the way, they haven't updated many of those "visits" in several years.  Plus, the way they score "extras" seems to vary from park to park and reviewer to reviewer; some seem to give that category a 1 to 5 score based on intangibles; others appear to list off "extras" one by one, and award a point for each.  Unstable.  And then there's the fact that (apparently), only one person rates each venue, and they all have their own scale; who's to say that "Joe's" 4.4 and "Bill's" 4.6 aren't really the same?

Look, it's a nice idea having all of these places ranked.  But until several of the same reviewers visit all the parks and provide an average or composite ranking, it's meaningless.

Right on, Wizard.
