Set against a backdrop of swaying palm trees and the San Gabriel Mountains, there is no mistaking the iconic Dodger Stadium. Despite being the third-oldest Major League Baseball park—trailing only Fenway Park and Wrigley Field—it remains modern and vibrant, thanks to numerous renovations that have preserved its timeless charm. The Dodgers franchise began in Brooklyn,
COORS FIELD
Coors Field, nestled in the heart of downtown Denver and sitting a mile above sea level, is both a hitter’s paradise and a pitcher’s nightmare. Home to the Colorado Rockies, the thin air of the Mile High City has long given hitters an advantage. Before Major League Baseball arrived, Denver’s baseball history was tied to
CITIZENS BANK PARK
If ever a team needed a new stadium during the ballpark construction boom of the 1990s and early 2000s, it was the Philadelphia Phillies. For more than three decades, the Phillies shared the massive multi-purpose Veterans Stadium with the Philadelphia Eagles (NFL). Not only was the stadium enormous, with a seating capacity exceeding 60,000, but
CITI FIELD
When the Dodgers left Brooklyn for Los Angeles after the 1957 season, Ebbets Field, one of baseball’s most nostalgic ballparks, was lost to history. Decades later, the opening of Baltimore’s Camden Yards in 1992 ushered in a new wave of retro ballparks that paid homage to classic stadiums, including Ebbets Field. Fittingly, Citi Field, home

ORACLE PARK
Of Major League Baseball’s 30 ballparks, a select few deserve a spot on every baseball fan’s bucket list. Oracle Park stands out for its charm, character, and breathtaking views, rivaled by only a handful of venues across the country. However, this wasn’t always the case for the San Francisco Giants, who played at Candlestick Park
YANKEE STADIUM
Yankee Stadium is arguably the most iconic and recognizable sports stadium in the world, serving as the home of the legendary New York Yankees. Since the 1920s, the Yankees have played in two stadiums bearing this name: the historic original Yankee Stadium, which opened in 1923 and closed in 2008 after hosting 26 World Series
RATE FIELD
As a charter member of the American League, the White Sox have played at three ballparks on the South Side of Chicago since 1901: South Side Park, Comiskey Park, and Rate Field. The club played a decade at South Side Park, 80 seasons at Comiskey Park and have called Rate Field home since 1991. The
TROPICANA FIELD
It’s the last dome stadium in baseball and a place where both fans and players can escape the summertime humidity and constant threat of rain. Located just a few blocks from downtown St. Petersburg and a short drive from Tampa is Tropicana Field, home of the Tampa Bay Rays. The quest to build a stadium
