These are the 10 best ballparks in MLB right now:
10. T-Mobile Park – Seattle Mariners
This ballpark opened up in 1999 and seats nearly 48,000 fans when it’s at capacity. Although the Mariners haven’t had many successful seasons, the ballpark is beautiful, has great food, a retractable roof in case of rain, and is beloved by almost anyone who has ever attended a game there.
9. Kauffman Stadium – Kansas City Royals
This ballpark is very old, which is why it isn’t rated higher. Kauffman opened in 1973 and seats under 40,000 people. The Royals have announced plans for a new Stadium, which could be ready in 2028, but until then, there are still gorgeous fountains and a cool video board with a crown on top.
8. Petco Park – San Diego Padres
This is a beautiful ballpark located in an ever more beautiful place. It opened up in 2004 and seats just over 40,000 people. Petco is known as one of the most aesthetically pleasing ballparks in the United States.
7. Yankee Stadium – New York Yankees
Although it doesn’t have the history and aura of the old Yankee Stadium, this ballpark that opened up in 2009 is compared to a cathedral. It is fancy, has a historic monument park in the outfield, and has incredible food. The knock on the stadium is that tickets are expensive, and so are food and beverages. The Yankees won the World Series the year they opened.
6. Dodger Stadium – Los Angeles Dodgers
Despite opening all the way back in 1962, the Dodgers have done a great job of continuing to make improvements. Dodger Stadium has the perfect mix of feeling new while also being historic.
5. Oracle Park – San Francisco Giants
It opened in the year 2000 and has been the host to four World Series, three of which the Giants won. The food is fantastic, the view of the bay is incredible, and the Giants fans are excellent, too.
4. PNC Park – Pittsburgh Pirates
Many people consider this to be the best ballpark in MLB. The food and beverages are great, the views of the Pittsburgh skyline are breathtaking, and it is an excellent place to take in a ballgame. If the Pirates were a good team, there is no telling how much more popular this place could be.
3. Camden Yards – Baltimore Orioles
They have made some changes to the outfield wall dimensions over the past few years, but this ballpark still has its charm from when it opened in 1992. With the factory out in right field, it has a throwback feel, but it feels new and modern at the same time.
2. Fenway Park – Boston Red Sox
Fenway is over 100 years old. It has seen some of the greatest players in MLB history play there and has been the host of some of the most classic games in MLB history as well. The Green Monster is a sight to be seen, and the addition of seats on top of the monster years ago has given the stadium new life.
1. Wrigley Field – Chicago Cubs
Wrigley, like Fenway, is also over 100 years old. You can feel the history the moment you walk into the stadium, and the Ivy on the outfield walls is one of the cooler things you will experience at a ballpark. The Cubs finally won the World Series in 2016, giving the Wrigley faithful something to cheer about!
