Apr 1, 2021 · Couple those improvements with already existing “capital-A architecture,” beautiful concourses, some of baseball’s best sightlines, and some of baseball’s best amenities, and you have my pick of Major League Baseball’s best ballpark.

So you end up with parks like Fenway, with the green monster in left field - this flexibility allows stadiums to integrate within the boundaries of city blocks much better than a football stadium ever could.

16. Rogers Centre – Toronto, Ontario
Team: Toronto Blue Jays Opened: June 3, 1989 Cost: $570,000,000 Capacity: 49,282 To like, or not to like? I absolutely love the city of Toronto! I"m a millennial that grew up knowing rapper Drake as Aubrey Graham, when he was on the beloved Canadian television teen drama, Degrassi. I"m very attached to Toronto, and I hate to admit that I disliked Rogers Centre. Toronto was my first inside baseball experience, and it made me honestly feel claustrophobic, and I"m in no way a claustrophobic pers...
15. Progressive Field – Cleveland, Ohio
Team: Cleveland Indians (New Name TBD) Opened: April 2, 1994 Cost: $175,000,000 Capacity: 35,014 To like, or not to like? Honestly, as I go on with this list, it"s going to be less hate and more love. Most of these rankings are based on my own personal enjoyment. Your own enjoyment might vary, and that"s amazing, as I truly hope everyone gets something out of every ballpark they visit. Now, as for where the Cleveland Baseball Team plays their games, I attended Progressive Field when it was Ja...
14. Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum – Oakland, California
Team: Oakland Athletics Opened: September 18, 1966 Cost: $25,500,000 Capacity: 46,847 To like, or not to like? Now, the good old Coliseum, in my opinion, gets truly a bad rap. I had a wonderful experience when I went in 2017. The evening started with my mother and I enjoying truly a great meal at the Shibe Park Tavern. Shibe is really cool spot, as it plays homage to Shibe Park where the Philadelphia Athletics called home. There"s also an amazing view from behind home plate from the restauran...
13. Dodger Stadium – Los Angeles, California
Team: Los Angeles Dodgers Opened: April 10, 1962 Cost: $23,000,000 Capacity: 56,000 To like, or not to like? I see Dodger Stadium always up high on nearly every ballpark list. And, truthfully, I"ve never been that big of a fan of the stadium at 1000 Vin ScullyAvenue. Maybe it"s because I live in Los Angeles full time. To me, the stadium just doesn"t give me the same enjoyment that other parks have. Is the view idyllic? Undoubtedly. The San Gabriel Mountains are the perfect Instagram shot. The...
9. Citi Field – Flushing, Queens, New York
Team: New York Mets Opened: April 13, 2009 Cost: $900,000,000 Capacity: 41,922 To like, or not to like? Citi Field is a great place to catch a game, and given the incredible improvement it is over Shea, fans of the Metropolitans must absolutely love calling this ballpark home. One of the most intriguing aspects of Citi Field is the homage to Ebbets Field with the facade. Citi Field looks like an old, grand ballpark from the outside, but once inside, and you step through the Jackie RobinsonRot...
8. Marlins Park – Miami, Florida
Team: Miami Marlins Opened: April 4, 2012 Cost: $634,000,000 Capacity: 36,742 To like, or not to like? I visited Marlins Park in 2019, and it happened to also be my first full game experience with a roof. In Toronto, the roof was only closed during batting practice and was opened before game time. In Miami, it was a scorching hot, muggy night, and the roof was closed, and we enjoyed a climate-controlled wonderful evening. Inside Marlins Park, I never felt consumed by the roof, the ceiling fel...
7. Truist Park – Cumberland, Georgia
Team: Atlanta Braves Opened: April 14, 2017 Cost: $622,000,000 Capacity: 41,084 To like, or not to like? Truist Park is one of the newer ballparks in MLB, and it sure is quite a nice addition to the roster. A major selling point to the Truist experience comes in the form of, The Battery Atlanta. The Battery is a place to shop, eat, live and catch a game. There are two hotels adjacent to the park, so if you"re visiting just for a game, or two, and do not want to deal with traffic, the Battery...
Baseball stadiums in general is one of the many reasons that makes it such a great and beautiful sport, and I’m personally obsessed with stadiums myself and the design of them. I’m actually working on a ten minute or so tips and tricks video, and hope to have that up by next week.

Aug 8, 2019 · In our piece ranking and rating MLB ballparks, we reviewed these three ballparks aside (I also outlined why we put Dodger with Wrigley and Fenway for our purposes, obvious dissimilarities notwithstanding) and ranked/rated the remaining 27 venues.

May 22, 2021 · Almost every stadium built since Camden Yards wants to look like Camden Yards in some way, and many have succeeded. But no stadium feels as organically connected to the downtown it resides in as Camden does. The Warehouse is the reason.
