@@trackmaster152002 There's a huge difference between the in-game experience and watching on TV. Plus, if you are going to do a ranking, think about the other aspects of the stadium like parking or ease to get there. Wrigley and Fenway have trains to get you there easily, but I would not want to park at either. Here in Atlanta, there's no subway to get to the stadium and parking at Truist can be challenging. One of the reasons I love Petco is not only because it's a great stadium, but there is a walkway from the Omni Hotel to the park. Couldn't ask for anything easier. Oakland is easily the worst stadium, but their parking lots are huge and it's on the BART.
One of the worst things about Tropicana field is that they decided, inexplicably, that for a game that uses a white ball that is frequently hit up in the air to have a white dome overhead. Players lose the ball up there all the time. I have no idea what they were thinking.
I've been to both Camden Yards and Coors Field. Coors is a fine park don't get me wrong but no way is it a better park than Camden. I don't see how Camden should ever be ranked outside the top 5 it's a beautiful park and it deserves credit for being the first of it's kind and bringing in the new generation of parks such as Coors and Petco that were in fact modeled after Camden Yards.
Angel Stadium at 27 is wild. I know it isn’t the most appealing but damn, in a very nice area, a walking distance to downtown Disney, breweries surrounding the stadium, clean interior and not to mention a Chilis within a mile 😂
@@tonydoinstuff I think this is judging from a pure aesthetic point of view. Hence why I found PNC Park ranking, strange. Should b top 2 along with Oracle.
I'm convinced this guy has never been to an MLB park. "the inside has folding chairs for seats and 300 ft of foul territory from home to the stands but look! Trees and a great exterior! #1!!" What should matter is view of the playing field (1) and Fan experience and amenities (2). This guy swings and misses on both. Globe life park for example looks so unique inside who cares what the outside looks like. So many of these parks skipped #2 on the list.
I've been to most of the top stadiums on your list. My personal favorite is Petco. Love the laid back beachy vibe. PNC is amazing. Oracle is great, BUT the concourses are kinda small. That's my only gripe there. I feel like what's gonna make a stadium top 10 is what's around it, not necessarily the stadium themselves. Though it doesn't hurt to have a great stadium.
The first time I walked into Fenway Park, September of 1972, the Sox against the NY Yankees, we came in on the first base side, the outfield was bathed in a golden sunlight, no seats on the Green Monster, it was perfect. I had seen it on TV, but actually walking in made me a Boston Red Sox fan for life. Been back many times since, always fun.
I hope KC votes down the new stadium. The K is perfect. Design, Parking, Food, and tailgating. Just because we don't have a historical fan base it gets overlooked. They have voted it down before.
Well, the Royals have said that they're not signing another lease for the K. If the Royals and Jackson County can't deliver a better deal than the one that just failed on April 2nd, get ready to drive to the Speedway area or maybe Lenexa/Olathe to watch the boys in blue.
@@jimmysidebottom4744 Neither stadium is crumbling. Arrowhead is not crumbling, and the extent of "concrete cancer" at Kauffman is to put it politely, in dispute. The Royals cherry picked an older study for their scare tactics skipping over a more recent one which painted the situation less severely. Predictably, come opening day, the Royals had to assure the public that it was safe to attend ball games at Kauffman.
I'm probably in the minority but having been to both, I think Tropicana Field is worse than the Oakland Coliseum. It's indoors, the catwalks are terrible, and the vibe is just worse overall. But that's just me
I've been to both and fully agree - Tropicana Field is the absolute worst. Oakland Coliseum is in terrible shape but at least it has fresh air and blue sky
I'm pretty certain the stadium is facing the bay which is eastern. You can see the Bay Bridge in the back drop which is toward Oakland which is east of San Francisco. Then that would be possible to see a sunrise. What may be more impossible is to set a game at 6am. Interesting idea tho ha
I'm excited about the huge renovation to Comerica Park. We will have the 2nd largest and current newest TV in the MLB - which is a perfect addition to the new sound/light system added last season that every visitor creams over. The view in the outfield is amazing, only Pittsburgh has a better view of the skyline. I'm excited to see how the new buildings downtown will look when Torkelson jizz-blasts one over that fence.
The latest renovation of Rogers Centre was completed this winter and it completely replaced and reconfigured the field level and lower bowl seats to a dedicated baseball configuration. Also, new bars and public areas were built under the new stands, in addition to new training and clubhouse facilities. In addition to the Outfield reconfiguration last year, the stadium feels much more up to date and fan friendly. I agree with the negative comments about the exterior, but the stadium is what it is and they've done a great job of rejuvenating it the last few years.
A few years ago, most rankings would place Rogers Centre maybe 28th just above Trop Field and Oakland Coliseum. Blue Jays have done an excellent job of moving the old Sky Dome to a solid 18th rank. It has a great location in Downtown Toronto, with a view of the CN Tower. I think it will be like Dodger Stadium, Fenway Park, and Wrigley Field in that it will never be replaced.
To be fair I thought Rogers Centre was going to be ranked higher. Granted the exterior is concrete with the white domed roof but in the evening with the LED lighting next to the CN Tower it looks pretty cool. Massive improvements being made still (phase 2) and the end results have been extremely positive amongst Blue Jay fans.
Originally from Toronto, but have lived for several years in Los Angeles. I think 18th is generous, and I love Sky Dome. Some negatives to it are, even with improvements still has that round multi purpose boring look, and no natural grass. I have been to Dodger Stadium many times, and it is The Cathedral of Baseball, just an electrifying place to watch a game in an old stadium. All baseball fans should make it a bucket list. You can understand why that has a higher rank than Roger Centre.@@clemlowes2112
With Progressive Field, those exposed columns and beams in the upper deck are structural members and likely can’t be removed without some major engineering work. The same framework at Commanders Field is definitely critical to the structural integrity of the entire upper deck. It’s like a bridge; remove a few members and the whole thing collapses.
I agree with Bush stadium being underrated. I'm not a Cards fan, but when I visited St. LOUIS, i got to see the stadium, and I was floored by how amazing it was!
20:45 is great baseball stadium design. Front and center is arch structure which is a huge feature of the city. The lines of the stadium are clean to the point even the shadows look great. The most important thing is the statue of the greatest player in Cardinals history being the focal point. It looks like when you enter that stadium you're entering a cathedral of baseball. It's really damn good stadium design.
Fenway is literally the worst built MLB park! THERES A GIANT WALL IN LEFT FIELD!! Every MLB players stats should have an asterisk next to it when they play there. It's a hit when every time it should be an out!! TERRIBLE
White Sox, Cubs hater fan. That said, Wrigley Field is much better than the chopped up make-shift renovated Fenway.....some seats you have to turn 45 degrees to see a pitch thrown to the batter. I've been to both stadiums....Wrigley is a much better place to see a game before, during, and after. C'mon now.
No shit. The seats along the first base line are horrible at Fenway. Still designed for people who lived and starved in 1914. The centerfield bleacher seats were far more tolerable to see the game, as were the Monster seats. Yeah, it's pretty, but those seats, man.
Tropicana Field is not that bad. Lots of great views, 73 degrees 24/7 and some really good food. Lack of fans kills the atmosphere but when it's packed it gets LOUD
17:32 Fun Fact about Target Field, the flag pole (with the American flag) is the original flag pole from The Met Stadium and they just redid all video board displays (the ribbons, scoreboards and tower) a few years ago and my mom actually helped make the board pieces. They were built at the plant then assembled like a jigsaw puzzle. They also redid Minnie and Paulie (the giant sign with 2 ball players divided by a blue squiggly line).
Huge Yankee fan here but Citi Field is so much nicer. The interior field does have issues but for fans the stadium has so much to offer and its a pleasure walking around it.
I’m definitely saddened to see The K go away, but looking forward to the downtown stadium near the Kauffman Performing Arts Center. So many memories made at The K! 🙌🏾
I really like the description of Busch Stadium. It's clean. The architecture is really top notch and the lines of the stadium are beautiful. They embrace the arch structure in critical infrastructural junctions making it not only structurally sound but embrace the history of the city. It's a stadium that's structurally sound, embraces the main feature of the city in its structure, has a classical look, and embraces the history of the organization.
I like that you ranked Busch Stadium so high. I think it benefits from a well-run franchise and knowledgeable crowd, it is a very baseball-friendly city.
6:37 Since the Cotton Bowl will be demolished in 2026, The Texas Rangers should relocate to Dallas, at Cowboy Country Fair Park neighborhood as Neo Choctaw Stadium
Idk, I do agree with his assessment of Globe Life, the exterior is so forgettable. The Ballpark had a much better vibe, the new one is way too corporate and ‘boring’ if you ask me. I wish they’d of just revamped the not so old Ballpark.
23:50 they will never play a sunrise game there, not because it's too early, but because the sun rises in the east & sets in the west. So a sunset game is the best you're gonna get.
I'm glad and surprised Fenway Park came in first. I think the "Green Giant" makes it unique. When I was 8 yo my friend and I would go see a lot of home games. We would take the subway after school to the park. It was free to get in after the 7th inning stretch. :) Fun times.
Why won’t they do a sunrise game in SanFrancisco? Because it’s on the left coast where the sun sets over the water. Sunrise games would have to be on the right (East) coast. It would have been good if you had payed attention in geography class in middle school!
Except that Oracle Park is on the Eastern park of San Francisco and water you see from the park is the San Francisco Bay to the East. It is not the ocean.
I’m sorry but I can tell you have never been to Comerica Park. When the place is bumping the atmosphere is surreal and makes the park look 3X better. The wall thing I’m sure is temporary as they are working on improving other parts of the stadium like the score board
Did you see the recent pics of progressive field from Drone Ohio? The new upper deck renovation looks pretty good in the new pics. Not as dreary as the pics you have in here
That's a dope photo of Oracle Park at the beginning there. Man, I miss San Francisco. I've sadly never been to Oracle. It wasn't even built yet, the last time I visited SF.
I love Oakland’s stadium, beautiful views from the upper deck. I’m from Seattle and went to three games in Oakland last year, absolutely loved going to the stadium
I've been to every ballpark with the exception of the "new" Rangers park (next Spring...), and some of these rankings are all over the place. I do agree that Busch is constantly underrated and deserves a top 10 ranking. Loan Depot at 13(!!!) and Comerica at 23(???) are wild...but PNC at only 8 is absolute crazy town.
I have been to all of these, except new Rangers. I agree with much of what you say, but I think you missed the mark on several. Of course, I also rank them on food, ease of movement and game day atmosphere.
Oracle is entering it's 25 season and it's beginning to age a bit. Nothing major, but the place could use a refresh. You're abolutely right that the relocation of the bullpens looks like it was done on the cheap. A lot of the park needs a fresh coat of paint. I was in the locker room during fan fest and was surprised at how worn out it looked. And the tunnels under the first level have always looked unfinished (a lot of concrete and duct work in a relatively enclosed space), which seem inappropriate since they are being used by the highest paying fans not located in the suites. Place needs to be treated a bit more like they're planning on using it another 25 years (which is reasonable given that I believe the Giants can extend the lease past 2060).
No, Brewers fans are (given their teams name that's unsurprising). I been to all 30 stadiums. It's a trash stadium. People in Wisconsin need to realize this. It has a dim airport hanger vibe and tragedy occurred in its building. Bad stadium
@@HoshizakiYoshimasa Maybe a bit airport hanger-ish when the roof is closed, but of course much nicer when it's open. And oh... there's a retractable roof! That's somethin'... much better than delays & rainouts. And yes, an awful tragedy occurred while it was being built. So that taints the stadium forever?? What would be your suggestion... to exorcise the demons by leveling the stadium and starting from scratch in a different location or new design?? Perhaps crack open a cold Sapporo and reconsider this comment
@@HoshizakiYoshimasa AmFam Field is a baseball stadium and its great at being a baseball stadium because games never get canceled because of the weather. It's objectively better than any stadium without a roof. Now is it actually better? Probably not but it's better at hosting baseball than any stadium without a roof.
Wow, you are probably the first person to say that T-Mobile Park is average. I've heard a lot of people say they like it and think it is a beautiful ballpark.
I haven’t been there since 2008 but it was one of my favorites. I absolutely loved it. I have been there with both the roof open and closed. Certainly it’s great when it is open but it doesn’t feel cavernous like Chase Field or Rogers when it is closed.
The fact that the roof doesn't seal the stadium is what makes it great. Froze my ass off watching an opening day vs the Sox when Pedro was pitching. Yeah, he killed the M's, but it was still a great experience, and heavy ass PacNW ales are ideal to deal with the wet cold.
His opinion of American Family Field is laughable. The Brewers draw a great crowd. I have been there and it’s a beautiful ballpark. Also Dodgers Stadium and Wrigley Field are trash stadiums

Progressive Field- 4/10 20. Guaranteed Rate Field- 4/10
Everybody stop with ranking Fenway at number 1. Its an old stadium. Everyone gets it. The seats are horrible. The field dimensions look like u asked a 5 year old to design a park on Roblox. The concourse is tiny. Etc.. This is just a museum pretending to be a ballpark.
Yankee stadium I agree became alittle cooperate. One thing that stood out to me going to Yankee stadium was seeing the 4 train pass by and still seeing the count house and other apartment buildings. The old Yankee stadium brung so much originality of how the Bronx, NY is and NYC it self. Not a bad spot to Yankee Stadium in but the old Yankee will forever be legendary status
I went to Tropicana field and it was awesome!! Definitely underrated, it looks way better in person and the light peers in from the roof during day games!!
I am guessing that you have been to all 30 in person?!! I have, and I have to say that the Trop in St. Petersburg is not that bad and your fixation with natural light is ridiculous. Most games are played at night or partially at night anyhow! Also, the new Yankee stadium is the worst in my humble opinion. Overpriced and not that many amenities. But, I love your enthusiasm!!
Usually I'd see Petco, Oracle or PNC being at number one for a lot of people, and like Fenway or Wrigley being number one if you are a Red Sox or Cubs fan respectively.

I travel to different ballparks every year. Rays stadium is terrible. I do like Guaranteed Rate field . I treated my uncle to club level seating and we had a very good time. Nationals ballpark was not bad. Progressive Filed is pretty good. It does have some flavor. Citi field I like. Yankee Stadium is okay. The Marlins stadium I liked. I will be going to Dodgers Stadium this year in the 2024 season. I enjoyed Citizens Bank Park and PNC Park. Living in Baltimore, Oriole Park is my number one. Wrigley Stadium is my all time favorite stadium besides Oriole Park. Fenway Park is a classic. I can not argue with that being number 1.
GABP. Is always disrespected. Have you ever been to it? It’s in my top 3 of the 22 I’ve visited it. Fenway is old and looks cool but functionally blows. And Yankees stadium is the most soulless cookie cutter park. Feels like I’m on the set of a movie about a made up baseball team.
@@rorypaul153 Yankees is maybe the most soulless place, not just ballpark but PLACE, I’ve ever been haha. I’ll give you I’m harsh on Fenway but Yankees is literal just *insert generic ballpark here*. Even Oakland has soul….. it’s a gross soul but it’s a soul haha.
I wish you had said the name of the team that played in each stadium. Most I knew and the rest I could figure out but that would have been nice. Otherwise enjoyable video.

According to his video posted today, he's only been to Progressive, Oracle and Tropicana
I've been to most of the top stadiums on your list. My personal favorite is Petco. Love the laid back beachy vibe. PNC is amazing. Oracle is great, BUT the concourses are kinda small. That's my only gripe there. I feel like what's gonna make a stadium top 10 is what's around it, not necessarily the stadium themselves. Though it doesn't hurt to have a great stadium.
Totally agree about Oracle Park’s concourses. Comparing to Dodger’s, Oracle concourses was tiny and congested.
Well. After Hurricane Milton, Tropicana Field has plenty of natural light.
The first time I walked into Fenway Park, September of 1972, the Sox against the NY Yankees, we came in on the first base side, the outfield was bathed in a golden sunlight, no seats on the Green Monster, it was perfect. I had seen it on TV, but actually walking in made me a Boston Red Sox fan for life. Been back many times since, always fun.
I hope KC votes down the new stadium. The K is perfect. Design, Parking, Food, and tailgating. Just because we don't have a historical fan base it gets overlooked.
They have voted it down before.
Evidently the park is crumbling (as well as Arrowhead) and fixing the problems would cost the same as building new.
Well, the Royals have said that they're not signing another lease for the K. If the Royals and Jackson County can't deliver a better deal than the one that just failed on April 2nd, get ready to drive to the Speedway area or maybe Lenexa/Olathe to watch the boys in blue.
@@jimmysidebottom4744 Neither stadium is crumbling. Arrowhead is not crumbling, and the extent of "concrete cancer" at Kauffman is to put it politely, in dispute. The Royals cherry picked an older study for their scare tactics skipping over a more recent one which painted the situation less severely. Predictably, come opening day, the Royals had to assure the public that it was safe to attend ball games at Kauffman.
The K is in no way perfect buddy lmao.
@@christianjacobsen8014youre not too bright are you
T-Mobile is an awesome place to watch baseball.
I'm probably in the minority but having been to both, I think Tropicana Field is worse than the Oakland Coliseum. It's indoors, the catwalks are terrible, and the vibe is just worse overall. But that's just me
I’ll take the coliseum before any indoor stadium. Baseball indoors just feels wrong.
I've been to both and fully agree - Tropicana Field is the absolute worst. Oakland Coliseum is in terrible shape but at least it has fresh air and blue sky
A sunrise game at Oracle Park is physically impossible in the way described.
I literally said the same thing outl loud 😂😂😂. The sun doesn't rise in the west
I'm pretty certain the stadium is facing the bay which is eastern. You can see the Bay Bridge in the back drop which is toward Oakland which is east of San Francisco. Then that would be possible to see a sunrise. What may be more impossible is to set a game at 6am. Interesting idea tho ha
@terrillt426 I think the guy in the video was still wrong then, because he said over the ocean, unless he considers the bay the ocean.
That’s what I thought West Coast sun rises on the water. Am I missing something?
@@gregfredrick283 yes. The stadium faces eastward towards the bay. The bay goes inland separates San Francisco and Oakland.
I remember when people went to baseball stadiums to watch baseball
You mean when wasn't a luxury
Well mlb sux these days. Ur favorite team will play the same 3 teams most the year
Exactly why I miss Riverfront Stadium. Many memories!
Braves Stadium is in Cobb County, Cumberland is the name of the area, but it is not even a city
Whenever I hear of Cobb County, I think of the Big Bossman having some guy handcuffed to a railing and pounding on him with his night stick.
I said the same thing lol
I'm excited about the huge renovation to Comerica Park. We will have the 2nd largest and current newest TV in the MLB - which is a perfect addition to the new sound/light system added last season that every visitor creams over.
The view in the outfield is amazing, only Pittsburgh has a better view of the skyline. I'm excited to see how the new buildings downtown will look when Torkelson jizz-blasts one over that fence.
As a Pirates fan - I never understood why Comerica gets so much hate. And it's not just the DG.
Toekelson had trouble hitting them out, especially when he was in Toledo.
The latest renovation of Rogers Centre was completed this winter and it completely replaced and reconfigured the field level and lower bowl seats to a dedicated baseball configuration. Also, new bars and public areas were built under the new stands, in addition to new training and clubhouse facilities. In addition to the Outfield reconfiguration last year, the stadium feels much more up to date and fan friendly. I agree with the negative comments about the exterior, but the stadium is what it is and they've done a great job of rejuvenating it the last few years.
A few years ago, most rankings would place Rogers Centre maybe 28th just above Trop Field and Oakland Coliseum. Blue Jays have done an excellent job of moving the old Sky Dome to a solid 18th rank. It has a great location in Downtown Toronto, with a view of the CN Tower. I think it will be like Dodger Stadium, Fenway Park, and Wrigley Field in that it will never be replaced.
@@gracedagostino5231That's exactly where it would be ranked by most people.
Sucks they removed the metric measurements off the fences. Last MLB stadium that had this.
To be fair I thought Rogers Centre was going to be ranked higher. Granted the exterior is concrete with the white domed roof but in the evening with the LED lighting next to the CN Tower it looks pretty cool. Massive improvements being made still (phase 2) and the end results have been extremely positive amongst Blue Jay fans.
Originally from Toronto, but have lived for several years in Los Angeles. I think 18th is generous, and I love Sky Dome. Some negatives to it are, even with improvements still has that round multi purpose boring look, and no natural grass. I have been to Dodger Stadium many times, and it is The Cathedral of Baseball, just an electrifying place to watch a game in an old stadium. All baseball fans should make it a bucket list. You can understand why that has a higher rank than Roger Centre.@@clemlowes2112
Mount davis always gets me when you talk about it 😂
Progressive field is still one of the best parks to go watch a game.
Happy we made to number 2 as a Giants fan! I knew we’d at least get to the top 10.
Top 3 easily every time every list.
With Progressive Field, those exposed columns and beams in the upper deck are structural members and likely can’t be removed without some major engineering work.
The same framework at Commanders Field is definitely critical to the structural integrity of the entire upper deck. It’s like a bridge; remove a few members and the whole thing collapses.
Batters eye was huge for this guy till Boston came up 😂
I agree with Bush stadium being underrated. I'm not a Cards fan, but when I visited St. LOUIS, i got to see the stadium, and I was floored by how amazing it was!
Absolutely love Busch. I’ve never had such fun fans in my section as I had there. Really great time.
20:45 is great baseball stadium design. Front and center is arch structure which is a huge feature of the city. The lines of the stadium are clean to the point even the shadows look great. The most important thing is the statue of the greatest player in Cardinals history being the focal point. It looks like when you enter that stadium you're entering a cathedral of baseball.
It's really damn good stadium design.
Kauffman Stadium has always been one of my favorite stadiums due it's uniqueness.
Fenway is literally the worst built MLB park! THERES A GIANT WALL IN LEFT FIELD!! Every MLB players stats should have an asterisk next to it when they play there. It's a hit when every time it should be an out!! TERRIBLE
I preferred Wrigley to Fenway....it felt to me like the absolute best representation of a ball park.
Progressive Field criminally underrated!
Cubs fan. PNC deserves to be in top 5.
Obviously you've never been to PNC Park. If PNC Park isn't your top 3, you can't be taken seriously.
White Sox, Cubs hater fan. That said, Wrigley Field is much better than the chopped up make-shift renovated Fenway.....some seats you have to turn 45 degrees to see a pitch thrown to the batter. I've been to both stadiums....Wrigley is a much better place to see a game before, during, and after. C'mon now.
No shit. The seats along the first base line are horrible at Fenway. Still designed for people who lived and starved in 1914. The centerfield bleacher seats were far more tolerable to see the game, as were the Monster seats. Yeah, it's pretty, but those seats, man.
Tropicana Field is not that bad. Lots of great views, 73 degrees 24/7 and some really good food. Lack of fans kills the atmosphere but when it's packed it gets LOUD
Most of these rankings are a popularity contest.
17:32 Fun Fact about Target Field, the flag pole (with the American flag) is the original flag pole from The Met Stadium and they just redid all video board displays (the ribbons, scoreboards and tower) a few years ago and my mom actually helped make the board pieces. They were built at the plant then assembled like a jigsaw puzzle. They also redid Minnie and Paulie (the giant sign with 2 ball players divided by a blue squiggly line).
Been to both Oracle and PNC and I think PNC is a way cooler ballpark with a way better view, just my opinion tho
Huge Yankee fan here but Citi Field is so much nicer. The interior field does have issues but for fans the stadium has so much to offer and its a pleasure walking around it.
I went to Citi Field for one of the playoff games last month. Really fun experience and it was super crowded!
I’m definitely saddened to see The K go away, but looking forward to the downtown stadium near the Kauffman Performing Arts Center. So many memories made at The K! 🙌🏾
I really like the description of Busch Stadium. It's clean. The architecture is really top notch and the lines of the stadium are beautiful. They embrace the arch structure in critical infrastructural junctions making it not only structurally sound but embrace the history of the city. It's a stadium that's structurally sound, embraces the main feature of the city in its structure, has a classical look, and embraces the history of the organization.
Petco is pretty nice.
NL west stadiums are all in top 10. I’m a Dodgers fan but I have to say my fav stadium is Coors field. The sunset is absolutely stunning.
I like that you ranked Busch Stadium so high. I think it benefits from a well-run franchise and knowledgeable crowd, it is a very baseball-friendly city.
They even made the previous multi-purpose stadium look good.
Kaufman at 17!!!bro what!!!
Love the Oakland Coluseuim- the Last of a Dying breed and the 70's !
Still wondering why the Athletics didn't move SOONER 🤔? NO playoff games since early 2000s
@@JohnHarrisIV Wtf are you talking about? The athletics have made the made playoffs 11 times since the start of the 2000's
6:37 Since the Cotton Bowl will be demolished in 2026, The Texas Rangers should relocate to Dallas, at Cowboy Country Fair Park neighborhood as Neo Choctaw Stadium
Idk, I do agree with his assessment of Globe Life, the exterior is so forgettable. The Ballpark had a much better vibe, the new one is way too corporate and ‘boring’ if you ask me. I wish they’d of just revamped the not so old Ballpark.
22:53 Yeah, the seats they removed were my season ticket seats. So I'm a bit angry about that. That was my home away from home for years...
Any list of this nature of this nature that doesn't begin with PNC Park must have their motivations revealed.
I feel so blessed, DC finally doesn’t have something in the bottom 5 😭 I’ll take it!
American Family field felt very entertaining and energetic
23:50 they will never play a sunrise game there, not because it's too early, but because the sun rises in the east & sets in the west. So a sunset game is the best you're gonna get.
I'm glad and surprised Fenway Park came in first. I think the "Green Giant" makes it unique. When I was 8 yo my friend and I would go see a lot of home games. We would take the subway after school to the park. It was free to get in after the 7th inning stretch. :) Fun times.
Minute Maid Park is a really cool stadium. I just wish they had turned it a little to the left so you could see the downtown skyline.
Kauffman stadium is only 6 miles away from the crossroads site, not in the middle of nowhere pretty close to downtown
Why won’t they do a sunrise game in SanFrancisco? Because it’s on the left coast where the sun sets over the water. Sunrise games would have to be on the right (East) coast. It would have been good if you had payed attention in geography class in middle school!
Except that Oracle Park is on the Eastern park of San Francisco and water you see from the park is the San Francisco Bay to the East. It is not the ocean.
I’m sorry but I can tell you have never been to Comerica Park. When the place is bumping the atmosphere is surreal and makes the park look 3X better. The wall thing I’m sure is temporary as they are working on improving other parts of the stadium like the score board
Plus the skyline is one of the top 5 in the league
Agreed, it's a good stadium and a lovely setting with the downtown skyline.
Did you see the recent pics of progressive field from Drone Ohio? The new upper deck renovation looks pretty good in the new pics. Not as dreary as the pics you have in here
That's a dope photo of Oracle Park at the beginning there. Man, I miss San Francisco. I've sadly never been to Oracle. It wasn't even built yet, the last time I visited SF.
I love Oakland’s stadium, beautiful views from the upper deck. I’m from Seattle and went to three games in Oakland last year, absolutely loved going to the stadium
That is exactly what I thought. I also love upper deck
Comerica Park is soooooo underrated! Great park and experience
Red's park should be up about 6 spots.
I've been to 16 parks. Red's is underrated
STOP WITH THIS FENWAY BS ITS ONLY GOOD CUZ OF noglastia
He's obviously never had to sit behind a post. smh
The fans are close to the players though, not a lot of foul area
It sucks.
The place is an absolute dump.
Most of the seats don't even face towards home plate
I agree with most of this list, the top ten rankings are a bit disappointing though
I've been to every ballpark with the exception of the "new" Rangers park (next Spring...), and some of these rankings are all over the place. I do agree that Busch is constantly underrated and deserves a top 10 ranking. Loan Depot at 13(!!!) and Comerica at 23(???) are wild...but PNC at only 8 is absolute crazy town.
The way this guy says renovations gets me every time. RenoVAYTIOns
"Exterrrrrior"
I have been to all of these, except new Rangers. I agree with much of what you say, but I think you missed the mark on several. Of course, I also rank them on food, ease of movement and game day atmosphere.
Oracle is entering it's 25 season and it's beginning to age a bit. Nothing major, but the place could use a refresh. You're abolutely right that the relocation of the bullpens looks like it was done on the cheap. A lot of the park needs a fresh coat of paint. I was in the locker room during fan fest and was surprised at how worn out it looked. And the tunnels under the first level have always looked unfinished (a lot of concrete and duct work in a relatively enclosed space), which seem inappropriate since they are being used by the highest paying fans not located in the suites. Place needs to be treated a bit more like they're planning on using it another 25 years (which is reasonable given that I believe the Giants can extend the lease past 2060).
It would have helped having the team in each description.
12:17 Brooklyn, New York has the Highground for the NYMets
The NL WEST stadiums dominated this
You are drunk puting AmFam at 25
No, Brewers fans are (given their teams name that's unsurprising). I been to all 30 stadiums. It's a trash stadium. People in Wisconsin need to realize this. It has a dim airport hanger vibe and tragedy occurred in its building. Bad stadium
@@HoshizakiYoshimasa Maybe a bit airport hanger-ish when the roof is closed, but of course much nicer when it's open. And oh... there's a retractable roof! That's somethin'... much better than delays & rainouts. And yes, an awful tragedy occurred while it was being built. So that taints the stadium forever?? What would be your suggestion... to exorcise the demons by leveling the stadium and starting from scratch in a different location or new design?? Perhaps crack open a cold Sapporo and reconsider this comment
@@HoshizakiYoshimasa AmFam Field is a baseball stadium and its great at being a baseball stadium because games never get canceled because of the weather. It's objectively better than any stadium without a roof. Now is it actually better? Probably not but it's better at hosting baseball than any stadium without a roof.
1. Fenway
2. Wrigley
3. Petco
4. PNC
5. Camden Yards
6. Busch
7. Target Field
8. Truist Park
Wow, you are probably the first person to say that T-Mobile Park is average. I've heard a lot of people say they like it and think it is a beautiful ballpark.
I went there in summer 2022 for the first time, one of the most unique and eye popping stadiums i’ve been to
I haven’t been there since 2008 but it was one of my favorites. I absolutely loved it. I have been there with both the roof open and closed. Certainly it’s great when it is open but it doesn’t feel cavernous like Chase Field or Rogers when it is closed.
Except it's a stupid name for a stadium
In a league with a lot of beautiful parks, it’s average.
The fact that the roof doesn't seal the stadium is what makes it great. Froze my ass off watching an opening day vs the Sox when Pedro was pitching. Yeah, he killed the M's, but it was still a great experience, and heavy ass PacNW ales are ideal to deal with the wet cold.
His opinion of American Family Field is laughable. The Brewers draw a great crowd. I have been there and it’s a beautiful ballpark. Also Dodgers Stadium and Wrigley Field are trash stadiums

19. Progressive Field- 4/10
20. Guaranteed Rate Field- 4/10
what are the chances of me re watching the old ranking minutes before this one was posted?! 😅
Everybody stop with ranking Fenway at number 1. Its an old stadium. Everyone gets it. The seats are horrible. The field dimensions look like u asked a 5 year old to design a park on Roblox. The concourse is tiny. Etc.. This is just a museum pretending to be a ballpark.
Yankee stadium I agree became alittle cooperate. One thing that stood out to me going to Yankee stadium was seeing the 4 train pass by and still seeing the count house and other apartment buildings. The old Yankee stadium brung so much originality of how the Bronx, NY is and NYC it self. Not a bad spot to Yankee Stadium in but the old Yankee will forever be legendary status
I went to Tropicana field and it was awesome!! Definitely underrated, it looks way better in person and the light peers in from the roof during day games!!
Loan Depot Park is my local park. It is a great stadium, but I’ve never seen it packed. EVER. The location is terrible too.
I am guessing that you have been to all 30 in person?!! I have, and I have to say that the Trop in St. Petersburg is not that bad and your fixation with natural light is ridiculous. Most games are played at night or partially at night anyhow! Also, the new Yankee stadium is the worst in my humble opinion. Overpriced and not that many amenities.
But, I love your enthusiasm!!
i've been there and it's nothing special. none of these is absolutely horrible but it's definitely in the lower tier
Bro doing the am fam slam clam dirty
Dodger stadium in the top 10?? You must be high. That place is a dump. Dated. Bad parking access. No tailgating. It's on par with Oakland
yeah a lot of random choices here
Usually I'd see Petco, Oracle or PNC being at number one for a lot of people, and like Fenway or Wrigley being number one if you are a Red Sox or Cubs fan respectively.

I travel to different ballparks every year. Rays stadium is terrible. I do like Guaranteed Rate field . I treated my uncle to club level seating and we had a very good time. Nationals ballpark was not bad. Progressive Filed is pretty good. It does have some flavor. Citi field I like. Yankee Stadium is okay. The Marlins stadium I liked. I will be going to Dodgers Stadium this year in the 2024 season. I enjoyed Citizens Bank Park and PNC Park. Living in Baltimore, Oriole Park is my number one. Wrigley Stadium is my all time favorite stadium besides Oriole Park. Fenway Park is a classic. I can not argue with that being number 1.
O block gonna come after you for dissin the pinwheels 😂
I need to know wtf u were smoking when u made this list
GABP. Is always disrespected. Have you ever been to it? It’s in my top 3 of the 22 I’ve visited it. Fenway is old and looks cool but functionally blows. And Yankees stadium is the most soulless cookie cutter park. Feels like I’m on the set of a movie about a made up baseball team.
GABP is soulless and dead lol. I have no clue how you think it would clear Yankee or Fenway.
I've never been there, but apparently there's a drive to deep left field by Castellanos.....
@@rorypaul153 Yankees is maybe the most soulless place, not just ballpark but PLACE, I’ve ever been haha. I’ll give you I’m harsh on Fenway but Yankees is literal just *insert generic ballpark here*. Even Oakland has soul….. it’s a gross soul but it’s a soul haha.
As a new yorker, its seems to be that the majority of baseball fans here prefer Citi Field over Yankee Stadium
I wish you had said the name of the team that played in each stadium. Most I knew and the rest I could figure out but that would have been nice. Otherwise enjoyable video.
In the 2002/03 season, there were pine trees outside of the center field fence at T-Mobile park. FYI.
