One thing to point out about Wrigley Field is that it's the 2nd oldest stadium in the league, built in 1914. It sort of looked like it was under construction in this video because they had a tarp and a full stage on the field, since they host concerts every so often in the summer.

[@michaelmcgowen8780]

@@kabirconsiders August A. Busch Jr. bought the Cardinals & their ballpark, Sportsman's Park, in 1953. The ballpark was renamed Busch Stadium, although most people still refer to it as Sportsman's Park. The Cardinals moved to the new Busch Memorial Stadium (Busch Stadium 2) in May 1966, & the old ballpark was demolished. A Boys & Girls Club now is at the old Sportsman's Park site, but with a baseball/softball field where the old one was. The Cardinals played at Busch Stadium 2 until 2006 when the current ballpark opened. The Cardinals have played in 5 ballparks over the team's history: Sportsman's Park 1 (1882-1892), Robison Field (1893-1919), Sportsman's Park 2/Busch Stadium 1 (1920-1966), Busch Stadium 2 (1966-2005), Busch Stadium 3 (2006-present). Sportsman's Park 2 is considered a separate stadium, even though on the same site, due the original burning down in late 1892 & the lot remaining vacant until 1902 when the Milwaukee American League team moved to St. Louis & built a new ballpark there. The AL St. Louis Browns played there until the team moved to Baltimore in 1954. Just to confuse you a little, the Cardinals were originally known as the Brown Stockings in 1882, which shortened to the Browns. They remained the Browns until 1900, when they changed team colors from brown to red...first going by Perfectos in 1900, then by Cardinals in the press since 1901. The team didn't official adopt the name Cardinals until 1919, & the iconic Birds on the Bat first appeared on their uniforms in 1921. When the AL team moved from Milwaukee to St. Louis, they adopted the Cardinals' old name of Browns.

[@ms_scribbles]

I am SO biased, but I think Oracle Park is the most beautiful. The pictures don't actually do it justice, because they all show far away pictures from the outside and doesn't show how awesome it is inside, from the beautiful brickwork to the iconic Coca Cola bottle. (Side note, people in small boats or kayaks hang out outside the stadium to catch the homeruns that end up in McCovey Cove. It's fun to watch them. And every time a homerun goes out there, they actually shoot off water cannons built into the wall straight up into the air so it looks like a giant splash. It's awesome.) I do kinda miss Candlestick Park (I don't care what they tried to rename it. It was always The Stick) for nostalgia reasons, but I do recognize the place was a nightmare to play in, or to watch a game that went long because of the wind and fog.

[@jartstopsign]

PNC has to be my favorite, it's on the river there with a view right over the bridge into downtown and the best part is there's no nosebleed seats unlike every other new stadium. As a Twins I fan Iove Target field and have been to Wrigley and Fenway, but those giant I-beam supports at Wrigley and Fenway block the view from so many seats so I think PNC takes it

It’s interesting to see how others react to MLB stadiums. If you are a fan of a certain team or follow the sport you already have preconceived ideas about certain stadiums (i.e. Wrigley and Fenway being iconic and the two Florida stadiums being dumpster fires) but seeing someone who knows nothing about the teams or stadiums react a new way is refreshing to see.

I wasn't the only one...there were literally thousands of us outside of the stadium singing along to all of our favorite Beetles songs. It was an amazing time and cost me $0.

3:20 The dimensions of the current Yankee Stadium and the old one (before 2009) is the same except a shallower backstop behind the catcher and home plate umpire. Both have shorter boundaries on the right side (from the batter's perspective), but due to the smaller seating capacity (taller and wider seats), there are less blind spots where you can't see the players. 2:03 Boston's Green Monster at left field is the highest wall in all baseball stadia, but it's onlt 315 ft. from home, so it still benefits right-handed pull hitters. 2:40 Unlike in cricket, where the ball is called dead the moment the ball hits the roof, it's still live in baseball if it doesn't hit foul territory, so a high launching ball can still be caught after getting stuck on the roof for a bit. 3:41 If Oriole Park and any park in Philadelphia is hitter friendly (Veteran Stadium was very small for an MLB baseball field), and if you discount the thinner air of Colorado for Coors Field, Marlins Park is one of the least. That said: It hosted home run derby, and Giancarlo Stanton was known to hit home runs over 420 feet. 5:31 I think it's like drop-in pitches in cricket, but on a much bigger scale. 6:11 "Along with Fenway Park's scoreboard and Minute Maid Park (Astros) & Oracle Park's out of town scoreboards, Wrigley is one of the last parks to maintain a hand-turned scoreboard. Unlike the home of the Red Sox, the scoreboard at Wrigley is mounted above the centerfield bleachers, rather than at ground level, making it harder to hit during play." Wrigley field's outfield wall is replaced by vines that actually makes grape juice. 8:51 There's a Little Green Monster on the left field, but as a whole, this is one of the grounds where extra base hits are more-easily achieved. 8:55 It makes perfect sense, and if I had a hat, I'd tip it off to them. In NZ, any money received by Lotto is redistributed back into the community for amateur sports sponsorship or community projects. Road tax and parking fines are supposed to be used for infrastructure upgrades. By the same logic: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excise_tax_in_the_United_States Excise tax on alcohol and tobacco, and fines related to drinking and smoking are redistributed to fund the building costs of the stadium. 13:19 They also flattened a hill in the outfield. That recording cuts off a minute later when Doug McNugget tried to make up the US$8M shortfall to build the actual train by doing away with fire escapes, which is illegal.

Kaufmann Stadium is the one you liked and is home of the Kansas City Royals (not Kings), sort of like Buckingham Palace is the home of your royals. The train in Minute Maid Park in Houston is an actual train and after home team home runs the driver of the train blows the whistle and drives it about 300 feet to the other end of the track. The train has one car, a hopper full of oranges because of Minute Maid being the famous brand of orange juice. I am very familiar with Minute Maid Park since I live in Houston and go to quite a few of our home games. Minute Maid Park is also the replacement for the world's very first domed stadium, the Astrodome which was opened in 1967 if I recall correctly. You were asking if Wrigley field was under construction, it's not. That was a concert venue set up inside the stadium. Wrigley is actually the second oldest stadium, opened in 1914 just two years after Fenway in Boston. Fenway and Wrigley are the only two remaining old stadiums. Dodger Stadium in L.A. is the third oldest but construction was begun in 1959 and it opened in 1962. When I was a kid back in the 60s and 70s our summer vacations generally involved driving around the country to see MLB games and when I think about it, almost none of the stadiums I saw those games in exist today as they have been replaced by newer facilities.

[@kabirconsiders]

Yeah the Kansas City royals stadium is a beauty, I really like the signage and the layout of the stadium

[@bluspidr]

Also, baseball is the only professional team sport where the playing field is not standard wherever you play. No matter where you go to play football, american football, basketball, or whatever, the field will always be the same dimensions. Baseball however, outside of the distance between bases, the size of the bases, and the size of the pitchers mound, the people building the stadium can do whatever they want. The obvious thing to notice are the walls in the outfields are all sorts of shapes, sizes, and distances from home plate, but also the way the grass is cut and where the grass and dirt are placed on the field give each field a unique feel even watching from home.

[@davidb69]

A few cool facts Fenway park in Boston as the huge Green Monster in left field but it’s fence is the shallowest in baseball. Arizona Diamondbacks stadium is the first and I think it’s still the only field with a swimming pool San Francisco Giants stadium definitely looks cool and it’s fun watching kaiaks chase after home run splash downs. Sadly about the taxes paying for the stadium is generally paid with taxes , different cities did it differently. Seattle Mariners play in Seattle where it pretty much rains 2/3rds of the year. Sadly the Blue Jays normally play in Toronto have not been able to play at home since 2019 since the borders have been closed with the virus. This will hopefully change soon. In Philadelphia 100% fans will be able to attend games on June 11th.

8:42 So basically Progressive Field was funded by an extra tax on alcohol and tobacco products in the city of Cleveland.

In case you didn’t know, the Busch family (former owners of the St. Louis Cardinals from the mid-50’s to 1994) are the founders of Budweiser beer & all its subsidiaries. When the Busch family bought the team & renamed Sportsman’s Park (the original stadium) to Busch Stadium 1, Budweiser created a new budget beer line called Busch beer so that they could claim the stadium was named after the beer & not the family. In 2006 when Busch Stadium 3 opened, the St. Louis Cardinals became the first team to win the World Series the same year they opened a new stadium. The feat was repeated 3 years later by the new Yankee Stadium in 2009, & has not been duplicated since.

Seattle Mariners is in Seattle. Summers there are usually cool and Seattle is known for it's rain. Most homes in Western Washington state do not have air conditioning. San Francisco's stadium on the bay is really nice. I love to sit in the area just in front of the bay. People in kayaks there during games hope to catch a baseball.

Interesting fact about Oriole Park at Camden Yards (OPACY), the warehouse was built in 1892 for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. Legendary baseball player George "Babe" Ruth was just a kid when. In that same city. Another fact about OPACY, it was the first of the retro design stadiums. Opening in 1992.

Wrigley field is the second oldest park, not under construction, what you saw was a set up for a concert. Equally the stadium before (Nationals Park) they show a set up for an NHL outdoor Hockey game

I wish that this was more in depth because there's so many cool things this video doesn't go into, rather going after weird fun facts. Let me see if I can come up with some better ones of my own for each stadium: - Fenway Park's most famous feature is the Green Monster, the left field wall that's 37 ft/12m, to compensate for the short distance to left field and not give up cheap home runs,as well as to protect businesses on the other side from getting hit with home run balls. - Tropicana Field is the only current stadium in MLB to have catwalks that are in play. Each ring of catwalk if hit has a specific value assigned to it (double, triple, foul ball, etc.) - Oriole Park at Camden Yards was the first of what's now known as the 'neo-classical' ballparks, a wave of stadiums that tried to replicate the original brick and mortar feel of old-school, inner-city ballparks rather than concrete donuts in massive parking lots. - Rogers Centre is located right next to the CN Tower, the tallest structure in the Western Hemisphere, and 9th tallest in the world. - Yankee Stadium is known by most fans as NEW Yankees Stadium, as it replaced the original version of the stadium that dated back to the 1920's. The reason it was so expensive was due to the high price of land within New York City. - Marlins Park is the lowest-attended due to the team being in a constant state of rebuild, rather than pushing for the title. Oddly enough though, while the Marlins have only made the playoffs 3 times in 28 years, 2 of those appearances ended in World Series wins. - Truist Park is not actually located in Atlanta proper, but in a suburb north of the city. The previous ballpark hosted the 1996 Olympics, but the team eventually moved out after only 20 years due to it being in a "bad neighborhood" that fans didn't want to stick around in. - Petco Park features the Western Metal Supply Co. building, which is in play. The building predates the stadium by decades and is on the list of National Historic Landmarks. - Citizens Bank Park is part of a sports complex, and within a few blocks of each other lie the MLB stadium (Citizens Bank Park), the football stadium (Lincoln Financial Field), and the Wells Fargo Center, which hosts both the city's basketball AND hockey teams. - Most fans regard Oracle Park as the best in baseball, not only for its beautiful view, but also for the great selection of food, classic architecture, and great location within the city. - Citi Field is modeled after Ebbets Field, the original home of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Both the Dodgers and Giants moved to California (LA and SF respectively) due to aging stadiums and the Mets came into existence to give New York a second team - Nationals Park is the first purpose built stadium in the team's history. Going back to when they were the Montreal Expos, they started in an expanded minor league park, then moved into the Montreal Olympic Stadium, before moving to DC and staying RFK Stadium (football) for 3 years while National's park was being built. - Wrigley Field is the second oldest stadium in the major leagues. Its main features include the only outfield walls lined with ivy, and its location next to Lake Michigan which can cause either winds inwards (preventing home runs) or outwards (increasing home runs). - Great American Ballpark is actually named after an insurance company named Great American, and isn't just a patriotic name. It's also the only stadium where while insanely unlikely, it's possible to hit a ball into another state, as the other side of that river is Kentucky. - American Family Field up until this year was called Miller Park, sponsored by the titular beer company. The fact that this place is no longer sponsored by a beer company despite the team name "Brewers" is a bit of a sore spot for some. - PNC Park is usually the other stadium listed as 'best in baseball', for being next to the Allegheny river, and with the most scenic skyline in view. The bridge closest to the stadium upon its construction was closed to car traffic and became an exclusively pedestrian bridge from downtown to the stadium. - Busch Stadium is most famous for the Gateway Arch being visible from the stadium and vice versa. The team itself meanwhile is also known for a super high number of fans compared to the city in which it lies in, making them one of the biggest teams in baseball. - Guaranteed Rate Field is regarded as having the worst name in baseball (due to its sponsor name), and was the last ballpark built before the "neo-classical" ballparks came in, hence why its very symetrical and early-90s in appearence. - Progressive Field was the second "neo-classical" ballpark opened, first after Oriole Park at Camden Yards. And yes, most ballparks in America are built with tax-payer money in some way, shape or form. Of recent debate is the team's name and its racist connotations. - Comerica Park similarly to Citizens Bank Park is located in a neighborhood in which the local football (Ford Field), hockey and basketball (Little Caeser's Arena) stadiums are located close by. With recent economic hardship, its one of the safer and popular neighborhoods in the city. - Kauffman Stadium is one of the only 'rural' stadiums in the league, located on the outskirts of Kansas City, just off the I35 freeway. Its main feature of note is the fountains in center field that shoot off if the home team hits a home run or gets the win. - Angel Stadium is actually located in Anaheim and not LA proper, hence why from the late 90s they were known as the Anaheim Angels, and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, only dropping the Anaheim part of their name recently. - Oakland Coliseum is the only multi-use stadium still being used for baseball, though the Oakland Raiders have moved out to Las Vegas, leaving the A's as the stadium's only tenant. The sewage line refers to the stadium being past its prime, and the clubhouses being flooded with sewage multiple times as a result - T-Mobile Park as he mentioned is the only ballpark to have a roof but to NOT be climate controlled. Instead of the ballpark basically becoming an indoor stadium with the roof on, it just sits over the field like an umbrella, letting air flow through like usual. - Globe Life Field is MLB's newest stadium, opened in 2020 after attendance had dipped at their recent stadium due to insane heat in the summer keeping fans away. It got so bad that summer games were EXCLUSIVELY played at night as to prevent heat exhaustion. - Chase Field is the only ballpark the Diamondbacks have ever played in - though that's mostly because they're MLB's newest team (along with the Rays). Similar to Texas, the stadium is mostly closed throughout the year, as temps in Phoenix can reach above 100F nearly every day in the summer. - Coors Field is the most hitter-friendly park in baseball, due to it being located at an elevation of one mile (as shown by a ring of purple seats around the stadium), the air being therefore thinner, the ball traveling further, and the outfield being larger to accommodate for this. It got so bad that currently balls used at the stadium have to be kept in a humidor as to deaden their flight. - Minute Maid Park, contrary to his jokes, has a train in left field because the ballpark was basically built around an old train station, hence the architecture down that side of the field. Along with that, the trash can next to the logo refers to the team's cheating scandal within the last few years, in which a banging trash can was used to tell batters whether the next pitch was a fastball or off-speed. - Target Field is MY home stadium and of my team, the Minnesota Twins. It similar to Nationals Park is the first baseball-only stadium in the teams history, and similarly sponsored Target Center (home of the NBA Timberwolves) is across the street from it. - Dodger Stadium's capacity is 56,000. There previously were larger stadiums in the league, but they've either been torn down, or have had seats blocked off due to low attendance. The stadium is also notoriously hard to get to due to LA traffic and few big roads leading to the ballpark.

A couple of other interesting points on PNC Park. The field has not only a bridge leading up it to named after Pirates great Roberto Clemente, but the right field wall is exactly 21 feet high in his honor. Very fitting since that was his playing number and where he patrolled his entire Pirates career. Runners feared taking an extra base on him. He had a cannon for an arm and was deadly accurate as well. One of the all time greatest to play right field. Another Pirate great named Willie Stargell played mostly 1st base later in his career was well known for his home runs at the time. He had several in opposing fields that were marked usually with a star to indicate just how far the ball traveled. He tragically died on the opening day of the park you just saw. PNC park.

When the Cubs moved in to Wrigley Field in 1916, they put up a new flagpole for all the World Series pennants they were going to win. The flagpole rusted out and was taken down, never used, because it took the Cubs until 2016 to win another World Series.

Hope this clears some things up; "sin" taxes on alcohol and cigarettes is a common practice in the USA, so that probably is how Progressive field-Cleveland was financed. Wrigley Field in Chicago is the 2nd oldest stadium in MLB, opening in 1914. I know you thought it was a new ballpark, but it's actually107 years old. Kauffman Stadium-home of the Kansas City Royals, is as beautiful as any MLB ballpark ever built and is a must-see. As one poster already commented, you didn't get to see the Kauffman Stadium fountains, which are the largest water fountains in America. Busch Stadium was originally named for Adolphus Busch III, but he was never known as "Adolphus". He went by "Gussie" or "Augie'. The name originates with his grandfather Adolphus who was a German immigrant who founded the worlds largest beer company, Anheuser Busch, and it's main brewery, also the worlds largest, in St Louis. Anheuser Busch is now owned by the Belgian beer company Inbev, and the company had to pay for the naming rights to "Busch" Stadium, now named not for Gussie but the beer company. Also missed on here is the world-renowned Gateway Arch, which can be seen throughout Busch Stadium. As a general rule, all the stadiums built on water are beautiful, as you summized. Ballparks with domed or partial covered roofs, with the exception of Seattle, are for the most part the least attractive stadiums in MLB.

About the Cleveland Ballpark and the alcohol/tobacco tax. The Indians played at old Cleveland Manipal stadium, which was shared with the Cleveland Browns NFL team. And ultimately wanted their own stadium, so the City of Cleveland, offered to build the stadium and lease it back to the baseball club, theu agreed and the city passed the sin tax on alcohol and tobacco products in the city of Cleveland to pay for the stadiums(they built 3 sports areas ultimately) and for the general upkeep. The city still owns the ballpark and the current lease expires in 2023.

"Sin Taxes" are a major way to publicly fund stadiums in the US (like Progressive Field in Cleveland) since cigarettes and booze are rather inelastic goods people will buy no matter what the price is.
