I would be willing to guess that the proximity of the stands to the field is similar between Wrigley and Fenway, and Fenway is definitely pricey. The weather can be dicey in Chicago or Boston, so that's a wash, I think. I doubt that many people would pick any other than those two stadiums if they wanted a great baseball experience. Unfortunately, my one chance to see a game at Wrigley was ruined when we planned a trip out there... only to have the baseball strike hit! What a bummer. Hopefully I'll get a chance to make a fair comparison some day. Fenway has its downsides for sure.

Camden it's hard to tell because we got there late and sat in the noise bleed section. It seems like a fine park but my acrophobia kicked in (from being so high up) so I didn't enjoy the game as much as I could of. Wrigley man, a great experience. We were just 11 rows up and seemed right in the game. The cubs fans really really get into the game. They take whatever small victories they can. It greatly adds to the experience. As for Fenway, the field itself is quite nice. Nothing liking a monster in the outfield to add character. Now, I might be bias (in the other direction here) because the weather was freezing that day but for overall experience I did not enjoy Fenway as much as Wrigley. For one thing the concourse at Fenway looks dingy to me. For another we paid the same amount of money for 22nd row at Fenway as we did for 11th row in Wrigley. This made Wrigley a better value to me.
