Ten Major League Ballparks You Need To Visit

These are ten MLB ballparks you need to visit.

Baseball season is here, and there are few better ways to spend a day than at the ballpark. These ten ballparks, in no particular order, should be on your bucket list.

Busch Stadium - St. Louis Cardinals

Want to go to a ballpark with great scenery and knowledgeable fans? Busch Stadium is the place to go. You won’t find better fans in all of baseball, and the Gateway Arch is in the background. Check out Ballpark Village just outside the stadium, too.

Petco Park - San Diego Padres

The weather is (almost) always great in San Diego, and there are few better places to watch a baseball game. Good ballpark food, great sight lines, and modern amenities make Petco Park a top option.

Wrigley Field - Chicago Cubs

It’s not modern, though they’ve modernized it. It’s not fancy, though it’s added amenities. But, if you’re looking to be transported back in time, only Fenway Park can compare with Wrigley Field on nostalgia. It is a bucket list item for any sports fan.

Coors Field - Colorado Rockies

The best summer baseball weather may be in Denver. Even though the Rockies stink, everyone loves seeing games at Coors Field. Plus, you’re almost guaranteed to see a home run or two.

Citi Field - New York Mets

The ballpark is fine in and of itself. But, if you’re a ballpark food aficionado, there’s no finer place to take in a game. Citi Field always ranks at the top of baseball in terms of ballpark food, as the options are more or less a culinary tour of the Big Apple.

PNC Park - Pittsburgh Pirates

The Pirates are hampered by poor ownership. But, PNC Park is an absolute gem of a ballpark. In terms of setup and sight lines, it’s close to perfect, and the city skyline is visible in the background. Many think this is the best park in Major League Baseball, and they’ve got a good argument.

Fenway Park - Boston Red Sox

Like Wrigley Field, it’s a nostalgia bomb. You feel like you’re right on top of the action, it has the most unique outfield fence setup in all of Major League Baseball, and the fans are passionate. Fenway Park is a bucket list item.

Citizens Bank Park - Philadelphia Phillies

Citizen Bank Park has proved to be a huge upgrade over Veterans Stadium, and brings a classic, yet modern feel. The ballpark food is similar to Citi Field in that it’s really a culinary tour of the city. Amenities are modern, but the focus is still on the baseball. It’s a sensational place to watch a ballgame.

Oriole Park At Camden Yards - Baltimore Orioles

The 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s gave us cookie cutter ballparks designed to fit in as many people as possible and remove as much soul as possible. Enter Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Opening in 1992, it kicked off a ballpark renaissance of honoring past legendary parks while embracing the future. It’s a shrine to baseball in a way, and many consider it the best park in the league.

Target Field - Minnesota Twins

Building an outdoor ballpark in Minneapolis is a bit of a risk, given the early and late season weather. But, Target Field, which opened in 2010, is an immaculate place for baseball. The sight lines are great, the architecture rivals any ballpark in the league, and the mild Minnesota summers make watching a game there pleasant.
