I have been to Tropicana Field a couple times and, even though it is not good, it is GREAT when the outdoor temperature is 95F, and the indoor temperature is 72F.
PNC’s only great features are the skyline and train connection. Those make it a great stadium, but beyond that, it’s not exceptional compared to Wrigley, Coors, Fenway, or Busch.
@@rorypaul153did you just call Fenway exceptional 😭😭😭 that’s a horrible stadium that’s extremely outdated. Poor area around it, no parking, and in bad shape
Going to be blunt, it’s glaringly obvious you have actually been to MAYBE 2 of these stadiums. You have absolutely no clue about what makes a good venue. Sorry bro.
Actually, I don't think he has been to any stadium and only basing this on hearsay. I have been 17 of the current stadiums and would only consider those that I have been to in person.
Yeah I'd say so. He doesn't really mention in game experience and amenities that much. It does pretty much seem like he's judging it by the interior architecture and what it looks like on TV.
@@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.
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 actually went to a couple games at Tropicana Field when I visited my mom who lived there at the time. Only thing to me I have a problem with is finding your seat. If you not sitting in the outfield seats in right field, it's hard to find your seats. Now that was my first time going to that stadium so it was hard to get around, but still. Right field seats are right by the entrance. Soon as you walk through the door, it's right in front of you. You can't miss it. Another problem is going to the upper deck. My seat was in left field. I just wanted to walk around since it was my first time going there. It took me an hour to get back to my seat From going to the upper deck. It's very difficult to get around if it's your first time going there
Do you know what would make the Oakland Coliseum and Tropicana Field worse? Put the Coliseum in FL and the Trop in CA. Adding hot, humid weather to the Coliseum would make it that much worse, and sitting in a dome in the beautiful Bay Area weather would be depressing.
Have you been to a day game in May, June, July, August and September in Florida? It's either to hot and humid, or to stormy to play games. They got one thing right with the trop in that regards to it being domed.
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.
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'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'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'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.
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 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 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.
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.
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.
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.@@clemlowes9417
As a Phillies fan I’m always surprised how high citizens bank park is ranked. Not a bad stadium but it’s not anything special and there’s nothing to do around there.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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
T-Mobile: A green wall in centerfield drew the ire of batters. As the sun went down over Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains, it sent a glare off the wall. That made it difficult for batters to pick the ball when it left the pitcher's hand. The Mariners tried a number of fixes, including PLANTING TREES. Eventually, the trees were removed, the wall was painted and a black honeycomb material was placed on the wall.
The Battery (Truist) , where the Atlanta Braves play (and win ) is actually located in Cobb County. Cumberland Mall was built there in that area in the 70's, and there is almost as many roads named Cumberland as there are roads named Peachtree. Thanks for your thoughts.
T-Mobile park did have trees in center field for the batter's eye, but they had to remove them due to player complaints that they could not pick up ball. They tried a couple different solutions before settling on what is out there now.
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 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 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.
Honestly the biggest issue with Tropicana Field is -- there is one road in and that same one road, out. Its a NIGHTMARE to get to, and because everyone must take the same route, it gets jammed up and makes what could be a short trip into a tedious, long and often slow, trek -- then you get to the stadium and its dark and sterile -- It just doesnt lend itself to a pleasant experience.... But if you could pick The Trop up and move it to a central location that was easy to get to -- i bet it would have twice the attendance....
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
Its about the view of the field and the accessability to the field. Taking the train to Wrigley or Fenway, (even to new Comiskey) as opposed to driving and walking in some. In my time the only stadiums I honestly disliked were the Metrodome and thr Kingdome. I even miss old County Stadium in Milwaukee. Havent been to Fenway yet so my favorite is still Wrigley followed by old Briggs stadium in Detroit
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 feel like Rogers centre should be higher on the list only because if you look at the completed renovations it looks amazing. Not only the looks but before the renovation a vast majority of the seats had you looking at center field. Now basically all the seats are aimed at home plate which is pretty cool plus the 1600 newly added "premium seats" I just think you need to take another look at the renos...
For me Oriole Park at Camden Yards is so beautiful, i have been there countless times from the early 1990's onward, love how they moved the left field wall back. As someone that went to my first game at Memorial Stadium let me tell you Camden Yards is miles above what they use to play in.
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.
I love going to Sox game. He brings up the area but then doesn’t mention tail gate culture. He doesn’t mention the great view that isn’t blocked by support beams (looking at you wrigly)
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!!
T-mobile/safeco did install a pine tree batters eye-I was a student of dr Bradley’s at the time (2001) who the Mariners consulted about which species would be appropriate. They put it in and soon after removed it I never heard why
I absolutely love Busch stadium and the surrounding features right along with Wrigley as my next . Ive been to several others but nothing gives the historic vibes like those two, im sure if im fortunate to finally make it to Yankee stadium and fenway they would be of the same along with Dodger stadium and Sanfrancisco , been to candlestick several times 70 degrees on the outside 50 degrees on the inside, that place kinda sucked but had its charm also
Fenway Park #1 maybe am bias because am Yankee fan its got history cant take that away from it but that right field foul pole is insane and that green monster changes entire game of baseball its a sandbox in my option always will be? Does have some old school charm to it. Way its build and where right in city can only do so much to it to improve it.
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
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.
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 biased because I'm from the D😂😂, but there's at least 5 parks in the top 20 that CoPa outshines. I will say that the excess of statues could have been a retractable roof instead, for the rain and "winter" spring games... But the field sits under street level, and don't forget about the Ferris wheel
I agree to an extent. More renovations, but keep a classic feel to it. If they get a new stadium, where would they put it? Plus, I hope they innovate. The Bite Off Of Camden Yards Era is over
there is no pool outside Busch stadium/related to the stadium. there is a pool that is in an apartment complex next to the stadium but its not accessible to the public.
I have my stadium rankings in 2024 after weeks of putting it together. Here we go. 30. Tropicana Field 29. Oakland Coliseum 28. LoanDepot Park 27. Globe Life Field 26. Minute Maid Park 25.

Camden Yards 3. Oracle Park 2. Fenway Park 1. Wrigley Field
The top 3 is so close it could’ve gone either way, but I would probably put oracle park and petco above Fenway just because of the insane views and weather of both places kinda overruled the history that Fenway has in my opinion. Totally get Fenway being one tho
I can’t say anything bad about your list. The one thing I’ll say from experience, born in LA going to 20 games a year. Unless you had front row seats there isn’t a good seat in the stadium. Very removed from the game. Traffic so bad that people get there in the second inning & leave in the 7th. And until the past 15 years there would be 1 home run for every third game I went to. It was the place fly balls went to die. I don’t know if the balls are tighter or the hitters are that much better. But you did a good job on the list
I get the impression that if Depressed Ginger got to designed an actual MLB ballpark, he would eventually start hating on it.
Probably won’t have an upper deck either
@@briancedeno7570 Yes, but I am sure the batter's eye and exterior would look amazing.

Do you know what would make the Oakland Coliseum and Tropicana Field worse? Put the Coliseum in FL and the Trop in CA. Adding hot, humid weather to the Coliseum would make it that much worse, and sitting in a dome in the beautiful Bay Area weather would be depressing.
Have you been to a day game in May, June, July, August and September in Florida? It's either to hot and humid, or to stormy to play games. They got one thing right with the trop in that regards to it being domed.
PNC at 8 is a crime
Camden Yards at 7 is also a crime
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.
I've been to both and I like Coors much more. But OPACY is still a top 5 park IMO
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.
Braves Stadium is in Cobb County, Cumberland is the name of the area, but it is not even a city
1. Fenway
2. Wrigley
3. Petco
4. PNC
5. Camden Yards
6. Busch
7. Target Field
8. Truist Park
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.
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.
T-Mobile is an awesome place to watch baseball.
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.
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.
According to his video posted today, he's only been to Progressive, Oracle and Tropicana
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
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.
Progressive field is still one of the best parks to go watch a game.
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.
Mount davis always gets me when you talk about it 😂
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.
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.@@clemlowes9417
As a Phillies fan I’m always surprised how high citizens bank park is ranked. Not a bad stadium but it’s not anything special and there’s nothing to do around there.
Nothing to do around there? There is a whole rock wall and wiffle ball field and other things. The park also gives every seat a good view
@@JakeTheCake668there’s nothing outside of the ballpark except for parking lots and one bar
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.
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.
Nice list, i have a few disagreements, but overall pretty solid. How many of these have you been to? I've been to quite a few myself.
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! 🙌🏾
7:46 NFL’s Cleveland Browns have the high ground at Progressive Field while MLB’s Cleveland Guardians get a new Baseball Stadium at Brooks Park
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.
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...
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.
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.
Excellent video, very well explained
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).
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.
Red's park should be up about 6 spots.
I've been to 16 parks. Red's is underrated
I feel so blessed, DC finally doesn’t have something in the bottom 5 😭 I’ll take it!
Batters eye was huge for this guy till Boston came up 😂
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
Yankee Stadium should be rated higher my #1.
what are the chances of me re watching the old ranking minutes before this one was posted?! 😅
T-Mobile:
A green wall in centerfield drew the ire of batters. As the sun went down over Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains, it sent a glare off the wall. That made it difficult for batters to pick the ball when it left the pitcher's hand. The Mariners tried a number of fixes, including PLANTING TREES. Eventually, the trees were removed, the wall was painted and a black honeycomb material was placed on the wall.
What do you mean by the "surrounding area" for Guaranteed Rate?
The Gangs of weapon weilding teenagers
He must think the projects are still by the ballpark.
They were all torn down years and years ago now.
1. PNC
2. Citizens bank
3. Camden yards
The Battery (Truist) , where the Atlanta Braves play (and win ) is actually located in Cobb County. Cumberland Mall was built there in that area in the 70's, and there is almost as many roads named Cumberland as there are roads named Peachtree. Thanks for your thoughts.
T-Mobile park did have trees in center field for the batter's eye, but they had to remove them due to player complaints that they could not pick up ball. They tried a couple different solutions before settling on what is out there now.
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.
Kauffman Stadium has always been one of my favorite stadiums due it's uniqueness.
12:17 Brooklyn, New York has the Highground for the NYMets
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 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 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.
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
Great video! One point, however. There is only one "t" in "amenities".
Petco is pretty nice.
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.
Honestly the biggest issue with Tropicana Field is -- there is one road in and that same one road, out. Its a NIGHTMARE to get to, and because everyone must take the same route, it gets jammed up and makes what could be a short trip into a tedious, long and often slow, trek -- then you get to the stadium and its dark and sterile -- It just doesnt lend itself to a pleasant experience....
But if you could pick The Trop up and move it to a central location that was easy to get to -- i bet it would have twice the attendance....
As a lifelong Red Sox fan, I 100% agree with Fenway Park being number 1 on this list! The Red Sox has the best Fanbase in MLB. Great list!
I really enjoyed Guaranteed Rate Field when I caught a game there. Sure, nothing eye catching, but also nothing terrible.
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
Love Oriole Park at Camden Yards, great place to watch a ballgame and I love all the ORANGE.
Its about the view of the field and the accessability to the field. Taking the train to Wrigley or Fenway, (even to new Comiskey) as opposed to driving and walking in some. In my time the only stadiums I honestly disliked were the Metrodome and thr Kingdome.
I even miss old County Stadium in Milwaukee. Havent been to Fenway yet so my favorite is still Wrigley followed by old Briggs stadium in Detroit
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.
Petco is so legit! Inside and out
It is amazing, let's go Padres!!!
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.
The way this guy says renovations gets me every time. RenoVAYTIOns
"Exterrrrrior"
I feel like Rogers centre should be higher on the list only because if you look at the completed renovations it looks amazing. Not only the looks but before the renovation a vast majority of the seats had you looking at center field. Now basically all the seats are aimed at home plate which is pretty cool plus the 1600 newly added "premium seats" I just think you need to take another look at the renos...
For me Oriole Park at Camden Yards is so beautiful, i have been there countless times from the early 1990's onward, love how they moved the left field wall back. As someone that went to my first game at Memorial Stadium let me tell you Camden Yards is miles above what they use to play in.
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.
I love going to Sox game. He brings up the area but then doesn’t mention tail gate culture. He doesn’t mention the great view that isn’t blocked by support beams (looking at you wrigly)
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!!
No arguments here great job🎉
T-mobile/safeco did install a pine tree batters eye-I was a student of dr Bradley’s at the time (2001) who the Mariners consulted about which species would be appropriate. They put it in and soon after removed it I never heard why
I absolutely love Busch stadium and the surrounding features right along with Wrigley as my next . Ive been to several others but nothing gives the historic vibes like those two, im sure if im fortunate to finally make it to Yankee stadium and fenway they would be of the same along with Dodger stadium and Sanfrancisco , been to candlestick several times 70 degrees on the outside 50 degrees on the inside, that place kinda sucked but had its charm also
Ótimo vídeo, abraço do Brasil 🇧🇷
Fenway Park #1 maybe am bias because am Yankee fan its got history cant take that away from it but that right field foul pole is insane and that green monster changes entire game of baseball its a sandbox in my option always will be? Does have some old school charm to it. Way its build and where right in city can only do so much to it to improve it.
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.
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.
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 biased because I'm from the D😂😂, but there's at least 5 parks in the top 20 that CoPa outshines.
I will say that the excess of statues could have been a retractable roof instead, for the rain and "winter" spring games... But the field sits under street level, and don't forget about the Ferris wheel
... Still an awesome video and channel tho. Thank you
Comerica needs a lot more , it's becoming outdated. My home park as well, as I am 35 mins from it .
I agree to an extent. More renovations, but keep a classic feel to it. If they get a new stadium, where would they put it? Plus, I hope they innovate. The Bite Off Of Camden Yards Era is over
@@daddydaveshowshow7945 I don't agree whatsoever
If you need a list subject, how about the 10 best outdoor stadiums in America (including baseball, football pro and college, the other football...)
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
Kauffman stadium is only 6 miles away from the crossroads site, not in the middle of nowhere pretty close to downtown
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
there is no pool outside Busch stadium/related to the stadium. there is a pool that is in an apartment complex next to the stadium but its not accessible to the public.
T mobile park had Evergreen trees in center when they opened and MLB made the Mariners take them out
Why?
Players hate evergreen trees as a batter's eye. It's why they also removed them from Target field.@@ChiSportsNut18
Target Field too
What do you expect? It's not like the rater has ever been there.
@@ChiSportsNut18 They took them out because the hitters complained for some reason.

The top 3 is so close it could’ve gone either way, but I would probably put oracle park and petco above Fenway just because of the insane views and weather of both places kinda overruled the history that Fenway has in my opinion. Totally get Fenway being one tho
Weather at oracle is terrible for night games. Windy and cold!
I think your ranking is pretty good, one correction,their is no Cumberland county in the state of Georgia. It is Cobb county.
I can’t say anything bad about your list. The one thing I’ll say from experience, born in LA going to 20 games a year. Unless you had front row seats there isn’t a good seat in the stadium. Very removed from the game. Traffic so bad that people get there in the second inning & leave in the 7th. And until the past 15 years there would be 1 home run for every third game I went to. It was the place fly balls went to die. I don’t know if the balls are tighter or the hitters are that much better. But you did a good job on the list
