I can’t figure Fenway and Wrigley are going to be mutilated anytime soon-both ownerships have renovated and updated the parks, so as cheap as the Rickets are and as disinterested as John Henry has been in recent years I can’t see any threat to their continued venerability…

[@basedpliskin]

Listen here I’m a Chicago resident and I’ll say with 100% confidence that Wrigley is the most overrated stadiums you can ever go to. You piss in troughs, no one there actually goes for the actual games unless it’s the playoffs, and the fans are awful. Full of piss drunk assholes that smell. It’s literally the worst ballpark in its division. Their adherence to tradition is killing so many potential viewing spots.

[@Neckrollios18]

Fenway park is okay in terms of anywhere the players go. Outside of that, it's not that glamorous. The seating sucks. Not only are many of the seats themselves uncomfortable but the beams obstruct your view, and there isn't 300 level seating to avoid it. There's no parking, and you might see a rat or two in the bathroom. At least they sell Sam Adams and have Sweet Caroline though.

I’ve seen 11 games in 7 different stadiums, all of these are a must

[@jimmycrackcorn2516]

Those of us old enough to remember going to some of the long-gone ballparks of the last century can testify that it made for a much different baseball experience. Many of the parks were in the bad part of town, run-down, and without the amenities modern fans expect. Most fans of the time came to actually see baseball being played at its highest level. They were unconcerned about canned sound effects, gourmet food, costumed mascots, and all the other silly things that are apparently needed to keep "fans" interested.

Damn you brought up HOK. Kudos to you, from an architect. :D. I do hate their sports stadium designs tho.

[@TheBaldr]

As someone who has been to a lot of old stadiums like Candlestick, they were not that great on the inside, but the outside was awe-inspiring, especially old Busch Stadium.

[@sportsnut198]

It's hard to make Minneapolis charming? Never been I assume. It's just simply better in Minny. Also no, Target Field DOES NOT look like all the other retro ball parks, it was designed literally to stay away both from the modern feel of Nats Park and the Retro Classic feel. It melds perfectly with the Minneapolis area around it, even being built in part over a highway. With the recent upgrades to Gate 34, and other quality of life upgrades it's a Top 10 park easily.

[@NathanSpies]

I’ve kind of grown a soft spot for Tropicana Field, mostly because of Adam the Woo

If you’re like me looking into what old ballparks were like check out the podcast Lost Ballparks. They interview people they played and worked there in a 30 min format. Great video as always man.

[@mrcolesenglish1401]

Great video! My only critique is that you didn't mention Cleveland's scoreboard! On several occasions, it has been the largest freestanding scoreboard in North America, and it's wild to see up close if you haven't been there for a game. Good job!

[@TheClockingbird]

Surprised you didn't know all 30 MLB ballparks are using humidors for the balls! Coors Field started the trend, now every club has adopted it.

Citizens bank Park is actually a good ballpark they have rooftop bleachers, The Liberty Bell that lights up and rings after every Phillies homerun and Phillies win, they recently also added a mini replica wiffle ball field for kids to play at the food is good there yet expensive, there are a lot of great seats, the Asburn alley was relocated from behind the bullpens to another part of the stadium that includes two life size World Series Trophies one from 1980 and from 2008, in the playoffs they had a Ferris wheel outside of the ballpark and a lot more its very nice

[@Dept246]

Amazing that Rogers Centre which opened in 1989 is the 7th oldest stadium and Camden Yards which opened in 1992 is the 10th oldest stadium in MLB.

The roof in Seattle is a giant umbrella, the sides are still open to the elements when it’s covering the ballpark.

Haha!😂 Been to a few of those games. It was rough, but I did love most of the aesthetics of that ballpark. The archways and all brick exterior was done so well.

The new Marlins field is the worst experience ever. You’ve obviously never seen a game there. The biggest problem is the lighting. It feels like you’re watching the game in a basement den. And the large window past left field reminds you that you are not enjoying the Florida sunshine. And the team is always bad. No wonder nobody goes to games there.

As a KC local, thanks for not only opening the video with a shot of Kauffman but giving it, its props too. You should absolutely catch a game here sometime (preferably not in July or August). But you may only have another 8 year or so. The idea of building a new staduim downtown as grown increasingly popular with the powers that be. Can't say I've talked to many fans that love the idea. Kauffman is a beautiful stadium that the tax payers of Jackson County have aways supported to renovate when needed. Also going through downtown to get in and out of games sounds like a nightmare.

If you ever wanna come to Kaufman, I know at least two of your viewers who’d host. I was a raised a STL fan, and yet I’ll gladly admit KC’s baseball stadium is a great experience. And oddly, I was discussing with other STL fans just yesterday- we kinda miss the cookie cutter dump Busch.. The new one is too sterile and far quieter than the old (yes it’s pretty, too). And there was some charm like the arches up too lit by the sun, and also being one of last cookie cutters. It wasn’t without issue but it probably could have been rescued with remodeling. Imagine a NHL game at the old Busch- that would truly have been awesome.

[@katherineberger6329]

I have some of the same feelings about the Metrodome, especially when I'm playing a game in it in MLB The Show, but let's be honest, our fond memories of our old parks are for the feats we remember from our childhoods. Busch and the Dome were DUMPS.

My mom suddenly went into labor a week earlier than anticipated, close to the start of the game. My dad obviously left the game as soon as he got the news, and he made it in time though I wasn't born until 3am the following day on May 9th. We joke that the reason the O's won that day is because he wasn't there to see it. We try and make time every May to see at least one game there as a birthday celebration.

That being said you can get to Oracle using a wide variety of public transit options inculding: Muni's Light rail and busses, Caltrain's commuter rail, BART, a variety of ferries and (hopefully) in 10 years high-speed rail if you are so inclined! Not only that Caltrain's king street terminal will be the destination terminus for CAHSR so you could theoretically live in LA and take a day trip to SF and watch a giants game! And for what it's worth, the Oakland Coliseum also has pretty good transit access including an Amtrak stop and a BART stop, or if you're so inclined you can be at the Coliseum in 20 minutes from the Oakland Airport
