Fenway Park was designed by the same firm that designed Yankee Stadium, the Osborn Engineering Company. The park’s peculiar size and shape were determined by the surrounding city streets. The 37-foot-tall left field wall, known as the “Green Monster,” compensates for the short depth of left field.

Fenway park behind AT &T Park? Behind the Apple Store? Please! Did the 1,800 Americans you asked include a single baseball fan? Whichever monkey waited until 113 to hit Fenway Park with his dart doesn't deserve to be on your 'panel' anymore.

Behind an Apple Store? This place may be old, but it's the very definition of beloved.

To the first commenter: I think it's pretty obvious that the rankers were mostly baseball fans since there are roughly 85 baseball stadiums in this list.
And I back up this whole thing about the Apple stores. What is that? You guys sponsored by Apple? The Apple Institute of Architects?
