How much more classic of a ballpark than Wrigley Field can you get really?

From the ivy covered walls to the classic scoreboard in Center Field, to the small concourses and traditional day game schedule -- there's a lot of throwback to be had in Wrigley Field, which opened in 1914.

In terms of in game action, you get to play a lot of day games here, which is where MLB '12: The Show is by far at it's best looking. You get to do so in a classic ballpark, with the classic sightlines complete with bleacher seating across the street on top of the residences as you'd expect to see on a WGN broadcast.

While you can't experience the thrill of Wrigleyville or enjoy the classic ballpark fare available at Wrigley -- so a big part of why Wrigley really is one of the games best ballparks is lost in The Show -- it's hard to find something I don't like about this park in the game.

The playing surface itself features the deep Wrigley Corners of 355 in left and 353 in right, moving out to a short 400 in center. It's hard not to classify Wrigley as a hitters park except the long distances down the lines definitely do take some homers away you'd have in other parks.

What is your favorite aspect of Wrigley Field?

Typical Brewers fan instead of saying "Even as a baseball purist". White Sox fans and Cardinals fans have class and aren't as bad; only hear such things from likes of Brewers fans only. Instead of worrying about our stadium, IMO from experiences at Miller Park, Brewers fans should worry about what they consider "classy behavior" and make a ball game enjoyable. Had some of the most disrespectful fans ever witnessed at Brewers games. No reason ever should what team you choose to root for become personal insults and disrespect. Utterly disgusted with fellow Wisconsinites and glad I don't call myself of fan of that kind of behavior. I know people who don't even condone it themselves as Brewers fans which is sickening.

Not saying Chicago is better (IMO overall it's not) but Brewers fans aren't much different.

That's why we have Wrigley North. LMAO at Wrigley being a dump.

I just watched an interview with Tom Ricketts on CSN and he said he has no intentions of tearing down Wrigley.
There are plans for a full renovation but, in his words, "there's no way we are gonna tear it down from foul pole to foul pole."
