| Each park is scored on a 1-10 scale (1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest score).
In some cases, a park's rating is based on multiple visits to that particular park. Please note that the date a park was built is taken into consideration when calculating the rating score. For example, Fenway Park does not lose points for having a covered grandstand with obstructed views, since that was characteristic of the time the park was built. If the date a park was built was not factored in, all the new parks would automatically have an advantage over older parks. I want to be as fair as possible when coming up with my rating.
The following factors are taken into consideration when calculating the final rating:
