Hot dogs, novelty beer cups, the wave \u2014 it\u2019s baseball season, and America\u2019s favorite pastime is in the air. While you can\u2019t go wrong with spending a warm evening or sunny afternoon at any ballpark from Little League on up, we\u2019ve rounded up five of our favorite MLB stadiums and their best food and drink options for your sporting pleasure this season.<\/p>\n

Oriole Park at Camden Yards: Baltimore Orioles<\/a><\/h3>\n

Built just under a quarter century ago, this park manages to encapsulate the timeless appeal befitting of its city\u2019s nickname (Charm City, of course). With brick edifices and a downtown Baltimore location, it\u2019s tough to beat an afternoon spent cheering on the Orioles and sipping a local beer from brewery<\/span> Flying Dog<\/span> (which should be paired with Chesapeake fries \u2014 waffle fries topped with crab dip) or ducking into<\/span> Dempsey\u2019s Brew Pub<\/span><\/a> for an even larger range of craft beers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"1<\/p>\n

AT&T Park: San Francisco Giants<\/a><\/h3>\n

There\u2019s so much San Francisco does well, and their ball game doesn\u2019t disappoint. Besides the Giants\u2019 three championships (!) in the last few years, the park has practically unparalleled views of the bay, a cool, retro feel, and consistently pleasant weather thanks to its California location. The classic garlic fries are omnipresent, but you should also make a foray into the myriad foodie options, like<\/span> Rich Table<\/span><\/a>\u2019s porcini doughnuts, and a beverage from any of the stadium\u2019s many offerings, like Bayside Brews or Cable Car Bar. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"2<\/p>\n

Busch Stadium: St. Louis Cardinals<\/a><\/h3>\n

With the St. Louis arch peeking out from the sea of red seats, the Redbirds\u2019 home (colloquially called New Busch Stadium) was built 10 years ago and has struck just the right mix of modern and classic. Keep the update-on-a-classic theme going by stopping at<\/span> Food Network Hot Dog Bar<\/span><\/a> for fancy dogs like the St. Louis Dog, featuring BBQ sauce, potato chips, and a proprietary shredded cheese blend.<\/span><\/p>\n

Coors Field: Colorado Rockies<\/a><\/h3>\n

The air may be thinner here, but the atmosphere is rich with baseball fans, aficionados and amateurs alike. Take in a Denver sunset during a Rockies home game accompanied by a cold one from the only stadium with a working brewery (<\/span>Blue Moon<\/span><\/a> FTW). For munchies, try the perennial favorite<\/span> Helton Burger Shack<\/span><\/a>, or venture into the specialty items new for the 2016 season designed by Travel Channel\u2019s Andrew Zimmern, including the Beach Comber hot dog and Rockies Corned Beef Sandwich.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"3<\/p>\n

Fenway Park: Boston Red Sox<\/a><\/h3>\n

For over a century, baseball lovers have come to worship at this timeless altar to America\u2019s favorite sport. And for good reason: a genuinely delightful stadium jam-packed with history and arguably some of the country\u2019s most impassioned fans (and considerably more cheerful since that pesky curse was broken), an afternoon here won\u2019t be soon forgotten. You can\u2019t go wrong with a classic lobster roll (served at <\/span>EMC Club<\/span><\/a>, among others) and an unfussy beer. Why not kick back and help the hardworking beverage peddlers earn their keep? You\u2019re at Fenway, and there\u2019s nothing more classic than helping out the workers who keep the park alive with another beer order.<\/span><\/p>\n
