Good Ol' Ballpark Neighborhood Fun-- Part 1: Nothing In Walking Distance

From the July 19, 2018, Chicago Tribune "Neighborhood fun."  By Mark Gonzales, Paul Sullivan, Phil Rogers, Colleen Kane, Phil Thompson, Teddy Greenstein and Tim Bannon.

Earlier this year they ranked the Major League Baseball parks themselves, but what about the neighborhoods around them?  Well, these guys came up with a list going worst to best.  They say a little more about each than I write.

See where your favorite ballpark ranks.

30.  TROPICANA FIELD--  (Devil Rays)  Too far from downtown

29.  MARLINS PARK--  (Miami)   Forget about tailgating here.

28.  KAUFFMAN STADIUM--   (Royals)  Nothing in walking distance.

27.  ANGEL STADIUM--  Few stadiums feel more suburban -- and not in a nice, quaint way.

26.  OAKLAND COLISEUM--  (A's)  The Coliseum is easy to hate, but at least an experience.

25.  MINUTE MAID PARK--  (Astros)  The B.U.S. and Home Plate Bar and Grill across the street  are the only places to wait out traffic.
