Frank “The Tank” Fleming, the die-hard Mets fan from Barstool Sports, has made it his mission to see as many MLB stadiums as possible. With a season ticket package at Citi Field and a relentless travel schedule, he's racked up quite the ballpark résumé. Now, as the 2026 season winds down, he's shared his definitive ranking of the ten best parks he's ever set foot in.
Fleming took to social media earlier this week to unveil his list, and it's already stirring up debate among baseball fans. His number one pick? The iconic Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs. It's a bold choice for a Mets fan, but Fleming's reasoning is clear: the history, the ivy, the neighborhood vibe—it all adds up to an experience that's hard to beat.
Here's the full top 10 from Fleming:
- Wrigley Field (CHC)
- Oracle Park (SF)
- PNC Park (PIT)
- Camden Yards (BAL)
- Busch Stadium (STL)
- Old Yankee Stadium (defunct)
- Coors Field (COL)
- Great American Ballpark (CIN)
- Fenway Park (BOS)
- Citizens Bank Park (PHI)
Fleming's list puts a premium on classic charm and scenic backdrops. Oracle Park's stunning bay views and PNC Park's skyline make strong cases for the top spots. He also gives a nod to the late, great Yankee Stadium, a place that holds a special place in baseball lore.
Unsurprisingly, the rankings have sparked a lively conversation online. One fan praised Fleming's objectivity, noting, “Non-Cubs fan who has Wrigley ranked 1st, for all the people that say my ranking is biased.” Another chimed in about the inclusion of Busch Stadium, saying, “Busch Stadium top 5 ballpark mention.”
But not everyone agrees. A skeptic wrote, “Been to most. Would just put wrigley way down the list but otherwise think this is a decent list.” Another fan countered, “I really don’t get the hype of Wrigley…besides being old, its not a nice stadium.”
Fleming's list has also drawn comparisons to other fan rankings. One user shared their own top five, which included PNC Park, Oriole Park, Coors Field, Great American Ballpark, Truist Park, and Rogers Centre—a list that notably omits Wrigley altogether.
Even the Trop got some love, with one fan saying, “Was just at Tropicana a few weeks ago. I thought it was cool. Def outdated but I liked that.”
Fleming's ranking comes amid a broader conversation about the best sports venues across the country. While his list is subjective, it's clear that Fleming values a mix of history, atmosphere, and local flavor.
