Ranking the 15 Best MLB Ballparks to See a Game

There’s nothing quite like experiencing a Major League Baseball game in person, but let’s be honest—not all ballparks are created equal. Some stadiums are legendary, offering breathtaking views and electric atmospheres, while others just have really, really good hot dogs. 

Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just there for the vibes, these 15 MLB ballparks offer the best game-day experiences.

15. Busch Stadium (St. Louis Cardinals)

The Gateway Arch looming over the field makes this one of the most picturesque stadiums in baseball. With some of the most passionate (and polite) fans in the sport, a game at Busch Stadium is as close as it gets to a baseball church service.

14. Citi Field (New York Mets)

Citi Field gives Mets fans a rare win—because this ballpark is awesome. The food selection is next-level, the fan base is insanely passionate, and the Home Run Apple still has major swag.

13. Coors Field (Colorado Rockies)

Want to see a ridiculous amount of home runs while enjoying a stunning Rocky Mountain backdrop? Coors Field is the place to be, and bonus points if you grab a beer at the rooftop bar before the game.

12. Truist Park (Atlanta Braves)

One of the newer stadiums in baseball, Truist Park is a party from start to finish. The Battery, the entertainment district just outside the stadium, makes this one of the best pregame hangouts in the league.

11. Petco Park (San Diego Padres)

Baseball by the beach? Yes, please. With perfect weather, craft beer everywhere, and some of the best fish tacos you’ll ever eat, this ballpark is pure paradise.

10. T-Mobile Park (Seattle Mariners)

With a retractable roof that actually works and an incredible view of the Seattle skyline, T-Mobile Park is one of the most underrated stadiums in baseball. Plus, where else can you eat sushi while watching home runs?

9. Kauffman Stadium (Kansas City Royals)

This ballpark may be old, but those fountains in the outfield are timeless. A must-visit for anyone who loves classic baseball stadiums without the outdated feel.

8. PNC Park (Pittsburgh Pirates)

The view of the Pittsburgh skyline and bridges from home plate is absolute perfection. Even if the Pirates aren’t great (which is most of the time), the ballpark alone makes it worth the trip.

7. American Family Field (Milwaukee Brewers)

Few things scream Wisconsin like tailgating before a baseball game, and the fans here do it right. Oh, and watching the famous Sausage Race in person? Unmatched entertainment.

6. Dodger Stadium (Los Angeles Dodgers)

The oldest stadium on the West Coast, Dodger Stadium is vintage baseball at its finest. Whether you’re there for the legendary Dodger Dogs, the Hollywood vibes, or the stunning sunset over Chavez Ravine, this stadium is iconic.

5. Wrigley Field (Chicago Cubs)

Wrigley Field isn’t just a ballpark—it’s a time machine. From the ivy-covered walls to the old-school scoreboard, this stadium is pure baseball magic (just don’t ask Cubs fans about the Billy Goat Curse).

4. Fenway Park (Boston Red Sox)

Fenway is the definition of historic, and the Green Monster is one of baseball’s most legendary sights. The fans are passionate, the atmosphere is intense, and the whole experience feels like stepping into a living baseball museum.

3. Oracle Park (San Francisco Giants)

With McCovey Cove just beyond the right-field wall, Oracle Park offers one of the best settings in all of baseball. Watching a home run splash into the water while you enjoy some of the best stadium food in the league is an elite experience.

2. Yankee Stadium (New York Yankees)

Love them or hate them, the Yankees know how to put on a show. With the famous roll call in the bleachers, the history of Monument Park, and a crowd that lives for baseball, this is the sport’s biggest stage.

1. Camden Yards (Baltimore Orioles)

The ballpark that started the retro stadium movement is still the best in the game. From the iconic brick warehouse beyond right field to the unbeatable downtown location, this place is baseball heaven.
