On a mission to visit all 30 MLB ballparks before I turn 30.
I’ve been to 29/30 with two years to go.
LoanDepot Park
LoanDepot Park is located around 2 miles outside of downtown Miami in the Little Havana neighborhood. By official capacity, it’s the third-smallest stadium in MLB and by actual capacity, it’s the smallest.
American Family Field
American Family Field, previously known as Miller Park, is located right outside of downtown Milwaukee. It opened in 2001 and has North America’s only fan-shaped convertible roof.
Minute Maid Park
In downtown Houston sits Minute Maid Park, the city’s first retractable-roofed stadium. The fans are loud, the people are friendly, and the current Astros team is a lot of fun to watch.
Globe Life Park in Arlington
Around 20 miles outside of Dallas sits the retro-style ballpark, Globe Life Park in Arlington. It opened in 1994 and was designed by David M. Schwarz Architectural Services, drawing inspiration from other stadiums and its home state of Texas.
Coors Field
The highest ballpark in the majors, Coors Field is known as the most hitter-friendly park due to its altitude. It sits at 5,200 feet above sea level and has broken the record twice for most home runs hit in a ballpark in one season.
Wrigley Field
Wrigley Field is a ballpark packed with rich history. Located on the North Side of Chicago, a few of its unique features include the ivy-covered outfield walls, the hand-turned scoreboard, and the main entrance marquee that lists the matchup each day.
Guaranteed Rate Field
Guaranteed Rate Field, home to the Chicago White Sox, is located in Chicago, Illinois. Formerly known as Comiskey Park (1991-2003) and U.S. Cellular Field (2003-2016), the ballpark has gone through numerous renovations since it was first built.
Chase Field
Chase Field, home to the Arizona Diamondbacks, is located in Phoenix, Arizona on the outskirts of the Warehouse District. The ballpark was built in 1988, and as Phoenix is the hottest major city in North America, it was built as a domed stadium.
Angel Stadium
Angel Stadium, home to the Los Angeles Angels, is located in Anaheim, California within close proximity of the Honda Center. It is the fourth-oldest Major League Baseball stadium still in use, behind Fenway Park, Wrigley Field, and Dodger Stadium.
Petco Park
Petco Park is located in the heart of downtown San Diego, right next to the Gaslamp district. With a beautiful view of the city and its warm summer nights, baseball at this ballpark is always a pleasant experience.
T-Mobile Park
T-Mobile Park*, home to the Seattle Mariners, is located in the SoDo neighborhood of the city. With a beautiful view of the Seattle skyline from the top seats, it's well-loved by Washington natives. I would highly recommend taking in a Mariners game if you're ever in the city. This is one stadium that you must visit.
Dodger Stadium
Dodger Stadium is located a few miles outside of downtown Los Angeles. You can see the skyline from the top deck seats and if you're lucky, you might catch a beautiful sunset. Home to the Los Angeles Dodgers, it's famous for its Dodger Dogs, view of the mountains and the late arrival of fans (due to traffic).
Oracle Park
Oracle Park* is a beautiful ballpark located right next to the water. Home to the 3x World Series Champion San Francisco Giants, it's famous for its garlic fries, seagulls and the Coca Cola slide. It is a green leader in the sports community, both energy-efficient and eco-friendly.
