The Colorado Rockies on Tuesday of Dinger standing next to Todd Helton with a home scoreboard caption that read, “Coors Field. The Best Place On Earth.”
While we love hanging out at 20th and Blake on a cool summer night, Coors Field is far from the best place on earth. My vote is going to Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia.
Augusta National plays host to golf’s first major of the year each April and the grounds at this historic club are considered hallowed. Augusta National is one of the most well known and beautiful golf courses in the world.
As far as other sporting venues are concerned, here are five honorable mentions ahead of Coors Field.
- St. Andrews
- Wrigley Field
- Churchill Downs
- Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum
- Mile High Stadium (which is now a parking lot)
