Poll Results and My Ballpark Rankings

Okay, so the last poll was hijacked by people who didn't take it seriously, because there is no one that can make the argument that Pohlman Field in Beloit is the best stadium in the MWL. Even still, here are the results, with Pohlman Field finishing a close second to Fort Wayne's new park.

Fort Wayne's Parkview Field - 13 votes
Beloit's Pohlman Field - 12 votes
Great Lakes' Dow Diamond - 5 votes
West Michigan's Fifth Third Ballpark - 4 votes
Kane County's Elfstrom Stadium - 4 votes
Dayton's Fifth Third Field - 3 votes
Burlington's Community Field - 2 votes
Clinton's Alliant Energy Field - 1 vote
Wisconsin's Fox Cities Stadium - 1 vote
Lansing's Oldsmobile Park - 0 votes
Cedar Rapids' Veterans Memorial Stadium - 0 votes
Peoria's O'Brien Field - 0 votes
Quad Cites' Modern Woodmen Park - 0 votes

My rankings, based on nothing specific, but rather just the overall feel I get from the stadium. Feel free to argue if you'd like, but this is just one man's rankings. And I cheated with having a tie for number one, but I just can't say one is better than the other. They are both phenomenal.

1-Tie) Dow Diamond -- Great Lakes
1-Tie) Parkview Field -- Fort Wayne
3) Fifth Third Field -- Dayton
4) Fifth Third Ballpark -- West Michigan
5) Veterans Memorial Stadium -- Cedar Rapids
6) O'Brien Field -- Peoria
7) Oldsmobile Park -- Lansing
8) Fox Cities Stadium -- Wisconsin
9) Elfstrom Stadium -- Kane County
10) Modern Woodmen Park -- Quad Cities
11) Alliant Energy Field -- Clinton
12) Community Field -- Burlington
13) Pohlman Field -- Beloit

  2. Somewhere in the middle. It's older, so it's tough to compare it to the Dayton, Fort Wayne, and Great Lakes ballparks, but it's better than most of the western division stadium. It would be middle of the pack.
