Yeah, San Francisco would be at the top of my "wish list" too. Dodger Stadium might be #2.
The one's I've been to are...
Comiskey Park (RIP)

Wrigley Field
Milwaukee County Stadium
US Cellular Field/New Comiskey
Veterans Stadium
Oriole Park at Camden Yards
Busch Stadium (Old)
Miller Park
Tropicana Field
Citi Field (I forgot I went to this one in 2013, this is the last new one I checked out)
I went to the Giants and A's Spring Training parks back in the 90s. I should feel bad that I haven't been to any Spring Training games here in Florida, but as I said, I don't know any baseball fans here, and the White Sox are really the only team I'll bother to go see play on my own.

Miller Park seems like a cool place, but I cant imagine a scenario where I'd be in Millwaukee. I'm going to making a few trips a year to Michigan for work now, I should try to get to a Tigers game one of those times.

Citi Field was pretty awesome. I went the first week of the season and it was like thirty degrees and windy, so that kinda sucked, but I feel like it'd be fantastic on a summer night.
Miller Park is really great. Brewers fans tailgate like it's nobody's business, so the atmosphere is pretty cool. Milwaukee is actually a pretty neat place to spend a few days. Very underrated city.

Coors Field is another that would be high on my list.

I try not to go to baseball games until at least mid May. I hate being cold at a ballpark.

Also, you reminded me that Kauffman Stadium is one I'd love to check out.

I used to love it as a kid, but not so much now.

My Brewer/Packer/Badger Wisconsin native friend always wants to take me to his home for a weekend. I need to take him up on that. Hear nothing but good things.

I hear a lot of people say that. I love being cold for some reason. Just hate the heat. Too many College World Series games as a kid where it was 100 in the shade.
As a Husker baseball season ticket holder we have a lot of games in March where it can be anywhere from 75-30. I went to the Nebraska/UCLA Friday and Saturday games a few years ago (Cole pitched Friday and Trevor Bauer on Sat) and I think at first pitch the Fri game it was like 33 degrees and Sat was like 36-37. Bauer went 10 innings and struck out 17 haha. Good times.

New Comiskey in 2003.
The K is awesome. I see probably 3-5 games there a year. This is the first year in a few years I'm not seeing the Rangers there. I will try very hard to go to a Royals playoff game if they make it. I have always wanted to go to a playoff game.

Soriano was on my list. Surprised he lasted this long. Was going to be one of my next picks.

I'm still not sure if I can play Pujols at 3rd base if I use the '03 version of him that only played OF and 1b. He played 3rd at other times.

As chud pointed out in regards to Miguel Cabrera, you can play Pujols at 3B even with a season where he only played OF & 1B, but you have to make sure that you have someone who was "officially" a 3B on your roster somewhere.

I took Joey Bats as my RF over who I really wanted to play RF for me because for some reason I thought I should have a true LF, CF, & RF instead of a LF and two CFs.
I mean, I'm gonna get crushed anyways, so I guess it doesn't matter.
