Possibly the oldest field still in use, by high school, men's amatuer and semi-pro, and a summer collegiate team:

The only field I've ever been to where both dugouts are on the same side of the field.

Agreed. I was just there last weekend, actually, watching the 2nd round of the NCAA tourney in the Mudville Pub along the first base line. Fantastic park and great pub. They have a screened back porch that actually opens up onto right field.
http://www.aboutri.com/Hospitality/Restaurants/Reviews/ReviewMudvillePub.htm
"Mudville Pub, a great little Irish pub and sports bar, is located in one of the many hidden corners of Newport. It’s really right in the downtown area, about the distance of a Fenway fly from the gateway center, the same distance from Thames Street and Washington Square, and right next to Brick Market Place. It’s built into the right field wall of Cardines Field, a venerable Newport landmark and home to the Sunset League since 1908, and more recently the Newport Gulls, as well as the local high school team, and a variety of special baseball events."

As for more modern parks, Toledo's new Mud Hens stadium (I'm not going to call it Fifth Third Field) is a great AAA sunken park right in downtown. Has some very cool quirky designs, like a "roost" built up along the brick facade of a neighboring warehouse.
For the majors, I've only been to the following:
Fenway
Wrigley
Comerica (Tigers)
PNC (Pirates)
Jacob's Field (Indians)
PNC is probably the best of the new modern ones: fantastic view of the city skyline over the CF fence. Fenway and Wrigley live up to their billing, IMO.

Sunken Diamond, usually referred to as the best facility in college baseball (especially since the '01 renovations), and home of the current #1 team in NCAA D-1 baseball, the Stanford Cardinal:

Seven minutes from my house to parking, if the traffic gods deem it so.

Tigers Stadium. Not used anymore, but it brings back good memories for me when the Tigers were good.

Of the new stadiums, I really liked PNC Park.

PNC Park gets my vote.
That is a completely biased vote by the way.

Why is this even a discussion?
Best ballpark EVER!. No ads inside the ballpark. Pure baseball... well that and beer, peanuts, hotdogs.

I'd have to say Pro Player Stadium. Just kidding...but really, I think Petco Park is the best. Although, I am a little bias because I am from San Diego :)

Fenway in first, with Shea a close second. Fenway just has this aura of passion, determination. Shea is juat a great stadium. The fans there really care.
