The Low-A Baseball Stadiums!

[@911NightRanger]

The reason for the size of Chukchansi Park (Fresno Grizzlies), is because it was built for Triple-A baseball.. but the whole upheaval of the Minor League system before the 2021 season, we were demoted to Single-A.

[@mikelmart]

The Grizzlies were home to AAA team's franchises that won World Series 6 of ten years from 2010-2019. Three years for the Giants, one year for the Cubs, one year for the Astros and one year for the Nationals. If you want to win a a World Series bring your AAA franchise to Fresno.

[@911NightRanger]

Actually, we never had the Cubs AAA team. They have had the Iowa Cubs for a very long time. Fresno is now a Single-A Rockies affiliate, and have been doing quite well this season.

[@mikelmart]

@@911NightRanger My bad, the Cubs AAA franchise was not in Fresno, 5 out of 10 years ain't bad though.

[@911NightRanger]

Yes, the Grizzlies were a part of their parent club's 2010, 2012, 2014, and 2017 championships. The Grizzlies also won the PCL and Triple-A Championships in 2015.

[@nicholaspesch5086]

Thanks for highlighting all 120 MiLB stadiums. Pretty certain no one else has done this before, so keep up the creative work!

[@frankym69]

Check out post2post productions. They do stadiums arenas, logos and more. Including ranking videos.

[@trevorantonson4272]

Hey man, I work on the grounds crew at Segra Stadium and I really appreciate everything you said abt it. We really try our best all day every day to make sure the field is in great condition!

[@Airweldon]

The Fresno Grizzlies ballpark was once a Triple-A park, but they dropped all the way to Low-A.

[@garrett3919]

I'm from southern California and the 66ers are the team down there, but now that I live here in fresno I love the grizzly stadium. It has an amazing view and the atmosphere is nice. Also good to see a ballpark where the outfield just doesn't end in dirt or a lot

[@UnchainedAmerica]

so did the city LOL

[@TirepatchKing]

The original Grizzlies owners were concert/entertainment promoters and convinced the city to foolishly build a stadium that would also be a concert venue. It cost about twice as much as Raleys field in Sac-town that was built at the same time. Then the SaveMart Center was built on the Fresno State campus (you know, indoors and air conditioned) thus no real need for an outdoor venue downtown where no one lives... Now it's just an overgrown albatross on the city's tight budget.

[@911NightRanger]

The Chuk still draws great attendance. The demotion from AAA to A was MLBs idea, not ours. We had no choice to take the Single-A team or face having no team at all. Unfortunately, that meant that Lancaster, CA. had to lose theirs.

[@df5295]

I think there was a new AAA team in Sugarland, Texas for the Astros. This meant a AAA team had to get demoted. Fresno wanted to keep their AAA team and not get demoted to low A, but MLB threatened them that it was that or nothing.

[@Chef.WolfHTT]

1:10 fun fact about the name Mudcats is that it is actually a term for a specific type of Catfish.

[@Ianmccor]

The Cannon Ballers' stadium is actually about 4 miles from the old Intimidators stadium in Kannapolis.

[@oriolesfan7807]

The old ballpark is scheduled to be demolished later this year according to Ballpark Digest.

[@alexmurphy8837]

Publix Park, the home of the Lakeland Flying Tigers, actually underwent a massive renovation and looks absolutely incredible now

[@danielflynn8530]

College baseball division 1 ballparks woould be an excellent opportunity but go by conferences because youll be doing a very long video. Korean baseball league would be another great vid.

[@davidbonilla7770]

I live less than 10 miles from the Visalia stadium it is very odd but also a fun experience

[@CIF-pm7tk]

great job! all of your work is spot on! quick precise and to the point! fresno grizzlies were AAA FOR 25 years. now low A

[@marcjsolis]

I’ve really enjoyed seeing all the MiLB stadiums from my house! Thank you!

[@caras2004]

That's basically true about Vi-sal-ia They were the Visalia Oaks before the Rawhide. The stadium was called Recreation Park. With the renovations, excellent seats and ambiance

[@55giantsfan22]

The rawhide stadium is about 50 years old, one of the oldest minor league teams in California, started in 1946

[@rayfisher4185]

It's also the smallest professional baseball stadium. It only seats around 1400. Great place to watch a game, you are right on top of the field. Home plate to the backstop is about 20 feet.

[@55giantsfan22]

@@rayfisher4185 thanks for the info, definitely a cool park

[@danielb.burnham2382]

I love the video! One correction though: Atrium Health Ballpark in Kannapolis is NOT on the site of the old Intimidators Stadium. Intimidators Stadium is a solid 10 minute drive away and about to be demolished for an industrial park. Atrium Health Ballpark was built near the site of an old textile mill in downtown Kannapolis. It truly is a gem!

[@celtgod3]

I live in Philly and I have NEVER heard anyone call Delaware, “The Big Smoke”

it would be cool to see you do the Frontier League Stadiums or the American Association Or really any independent League most of them have some pretty cool parks

[@shaneparrish9544]

Love Hammond Stadium visited for Twins spring training about 6 years ago. Watched Sano on a practice field nailing the batters eye again and again and again.

[@jbrown3547]

Great video. One correction, The Kannapolis Cannonballers field was built in a completely new site. The old intimidators stadium was a few miles away (and was terrible).

[@mt1271]

The Greenjackets stadium is amazing. They are now the Braves low-A as well which is a great change.

[@jwhite1016aol]

The subtext in stadium first says "North Carolina" in the video.

[@aaronmcdaniel7868]

I agree about Lake Elsinore Diamond - great looking stadium, has to be one of the nicest in the lower minors. And CA League sees tons of future stars, highly recommended!

[@ACEDIAMOND666]

Fiscalini Field in San Bernadino, California used to be low A San Bernadino Spirit. Now the UC San Bernadino Baseball Team plays there. I played there a couple of times in the 90s...I even hit a homer over the RF wall!

[@notsolukky2934]

I live in north Augusta and it’s so cool to see a local stadium featured in a KZbin video!!! (It is is sc tho lol)

[@coffeyallday]

I'm just annoyed that the Lexington Legends lost their Low-A status. The team still exists but it's now in an independent league.

[@bigred606]

And now they have a new name

[@BCJ.13]

Same thing with the Charleston dirty birds 😔

[@gavinsheridan4680]

[@jackm0429]

Im from the Detroit area so a Tigers fan and went to a spring training game down in Lakeland and man it was a great ballpark

[@williamsnyder5616]

The Flying Tigers are in honor of the Flying Tigers trained in Lakeland before going off to fight in the Pacific theater in WWII/ And, of course, also that the Detroit Tigers have trained in Lakeland since 1934.

[@JP-wx6uh]

Ray Winder Field was a really good historical park until it was torn down in 2012 or so. Built in the late early part of the 1900's.

[@krakrex780]

I’m bias but I love the SJ Giants field. It’s old and it’s got history. What really is EXCITING is the beer batter. They choose a player on the opposing team if he strikes out all beer is 50% off for the next 15 minutes. It’s a great day when he strikes out 4 times before the 7th. Then it turns into the apple juice batter.

[@johnparks9986]

Luv me some Grainger Stadium in Kinston. Going to the old park after missing out last year.

[@idontgiveadangchannel4903]

I am from and raised in the Central Valley California and Chuckchansi Park is awesome to watch a game . I was pissed when they went to single a but it

[@michaelvega-marquez2035]

That’s a pretty old Google Earth image of Joker Marchant Stadium, because it doesn’t look like that

[@briankelley7890]

It was great to see my hometown park highlighted (and first!). Thanks!

[@csuhpat2]

Excite Stadium in San Jose is a great place. I know it as Muni and it is an old WPA project. The building outside the outfield fence is where the San Jose Sharks practice. It is old but cool. They have an awesome out BBQ down the third base line.

[@oriolesfan7807]

Rodger Dean Stadium was built to replace Palm Beach Municipal Stadium and is about 15 miles or more north of West Palm Beach yet still in Palm Beach County Florida.

[@EDMLyfe]

The cannonballs logo is a reference to hometown legend dale esrnhardt. They changed up the name from intimidators because they no longer wanted to pay the trademark.

[@toneale]

Atrium Ballpark (Kannapolis) was not built on the site of the old Intimidator's stadium. It was built downtown. The old park was on the outskirts and was sold.

The Fresno Grizzlies' stadium is so big because they were a AAA team until this year. Not sure why they got demoted all the way down to Low-A.

[@Padsquad2010]

They got bumped from AAA so they could add the St. Paul Saints. Saints became a Twins affiliate replacing the Rochester Red Wings. Red Wings became a Nationals affiliate, replacing the Grizzlies. Grizzlies left with nobody. And then they went to Low-A because that’s the only non-AAA level that had other CA teams. They replaced the Lancaster Jethawks there as the Rockies affiliate. So basically seems like a victim of circumstance in the restructuring. Just no good spot anywhere else.

[@Padsquad2010]

Sucks that they got dropped at all though.

[@jamesfields2916]

@@Padsquad2010 MLB dumped a lot of minor league teams. One of the reasons mentioned for dumping the Jet Hawks was because it is so windy in Lancaster they had a hard time gauging pitchers. Grew up in Lancaster and could have told them it's windy there.

I dont know why Nationals had Fresno as there AAA team anyway the were way across the US from their mlb team

[@kiltedwolf2]

@@JDadAPS The Nats AAA team used to be in upstate NY. I believe Rochester. But the NY Mets BOUGHT the stadium and turned it over to their AAA team. This pushed the AAA Nats west.
