Elite Eight Time in 2019 MLB Best of the Ballparks Fan Vote

SunTrust Park

We’re down to the Elite Eight round in the 2019 Best of the Ballparks 2019 MLB fan vote, with another upset in the books. Now it’s time to move on to the third round, so you know what to do — vote!

Seven of our top eight seeds made to through to this round; only Dodger Stadium did not, dispatched by Busch Stadium and St. Louis Cardinals fans. The top vote-getters in the prior round: PNC Park, Petco Park, Wrigley Field, Fenway Park and Target Field.

We know from marketing stats a third of our readers work in the baseball industry, so we’re tapping into that collective expertise. And we know from our research that a third of our readers sell to the baseball industry, so that expertise will be valuable as well. The remaining third—fans, media, government—will certainly have a different view on things as well. We can’t wait to see what our readers, who we consider to be the smartest folks in baseball, say about the best of the ballparks.
