Major League Baseball is more than just the action on the field—it’s about the sights, sounds, and atmosphere that make each ballpark unique.
Some stadiums capture the magic of the game perfectly, while others feel like an afterthought. From outdated venues to breathtaking baseball cathedrals, here’s how all 30 MLB ballparks stack up.
30. Tropicana Field (Tampa Bay Rays)
Tropicana Field is everything a baseball stadium shouldn’t be—stale, outdated, and lacking in energy. The artificial turf and enclosed dome zap any natural baseball feel, making it easily the least inspiring ballpark in the league.
29. Oakland Coliseum (Oakland Athletics)
The A’s deserve better. This multipurpose stadium is a relic of the past, with cavernous foul territory, aging infrastructure, and some of the smallest crowds in baseball. It’s long overdue for an upgrade.
28. Guaranteed Rate Field (Chicago White Sox)
While functional, this ballpark lacks the charm and nostalgia of its cross-town rival, Wrigley Field. Despite some improvements over the years, it still feels too generic to stand out.
27. LoanDepot Park (Miami Marlins)
A retractable roof keeps Miami’s unpredictable weather at bay, but the atmosphere inside is lacking. The sterile design and often-empty seats make it one of the less engaging experiences in the league.
26. Rogers Centre (Toronto Blue Jays)
Once a cutting-edge stadium, Rogers Centre now feels like a concrete bowl. It’s too big, too impersonal, and in desperate need of the renovations the Blue Jays are rolling out.
25. Chase Field (Arizona Diamondbacks)
Necessary in the Arizona heat, the retractable roof is a plus. But the stadium itself feels oversized and lacks the personality of the league’s best parks.
24. Nationals Park (Washington Nationals)
Nationals Park is modern and clean but lacks the character that makes a stadium feel special. The location is decent, but it doesn’t offer the kind of baseball magic that makes an experience unforgettable.
23. Angel Stadium (Los Angeles Angels)
Angel Stadium has history and a nice backdrop, but it’s showing its age. Without major renovations, it struggles to compete with more modern parks.
22. Comerica Park (Detroit Tigers)
Comerica Park offers cool tiger-themed touches and a prime downtown Detroit location. But compared to the elite ballparks, it lacks the intimate feel and standout charm.
21. Citi Field (New York Mets)
Citi Field is an upgrade from Shea Stadium, but it still feels overshadowed by Yankee Stadium. It’s a solid ballpark, just not an unforgettable one.
20. American Family Field (Milwaukee Brewers)
The retractable roof ensures games are never rained out, but the atmosphere inside doesn’t quite match the league’s best ballparks.
19. Great American Ball Park (Cincinnati Reds)
With a stunning riverfront location, Great American Ball Park is a gem. But without the history or a passionate national following, it doesn’t break into the top tier.
18. Citizens Bank Park (Philadelphia Phillies)
This ballpark offers great sightlines and a strong fan base. While it’s a great place to watch a game, it doesn’t quite have the electricity of the league’s best stadiums.
17. Kauffman Stadium (Kansas City Royals)
The fountains and classic design make Kauffman one of the most visually pleasing stadiums. But its suburban location and sea of parking lots keep it from ranking higher.
16. Truist Park (Atlanta Braves)
Truist Park delivers an incredible game-day experience, though its relatively new history and suburban location prevent it from breaking into the top 10.
15. Minute Maid Park (Houston Astros)
With its retractable roof, downtown Houston location, and iconic train feature, Minute Maid Park stands out. But it doesn’t quite have the legendary status of the top ballparks.
14. Progressive Field (Cleveland Guardians)
One of the early retro-style parks, Progressive Field has aged well. But with newer ballparks offering flashier features, it now lands in the middle of the rankings.
13. Oracle Park (San Francisco Giants)
Few stadiums can compete with Oracle Park’s waterfront views of San Francisco Bay. Watching a home run splash into McCovey Cove is one of baseball’s coolest experiences.
12. Target Field (Minnesota Twins)
A beautifully designed open-air stadium in downtown Minneapolis, Target Field offers a fantastic mix of modern amenities and classic ballpark charm.
11. Oriole Park at Camden Yards (Baltimore Orioles)
The ballpark that set the gold standard for modern stadium design, Camden Yards is still one of the best places to catch a game. It perfectly blends history and a retro aesthetic.
10. Petco Park (San Diego Padres)
With perfect weather, stunning downtown views, and a fun, unique layout, Petco Park is a fan favorite for good reason.
9. T-Mobile Park (Seattle Mariners)
T-Mobile Park offers a retractable roof without feeling like a dome, keeping the open-air baseball vibe intact. The views of the Seattle skyline and Puget Sound add to its appeal.
8. Globe Life Field (Texas Rangers)
A modern stadium designed to keep fans comfortable in the Texas heat, Globe Life Field is state-of-the-art. While it lacks some of the nostalgia of older ballparks, it delivers a great fan experience.
7. Coors Field (Colorado Rockies)
With breathtaking views of the Rocky Mountains and a vibrant atmosphere, Coors Field is one of the most picturesque stadiums in baseball.
6. Dodger Stadium (Los Angeles Dodgers)
Dodger Stadium blends classic charm with an unbeatable view of Los Angeles. It’s a historic venue that still delivers an incredible game-day experience.
5. PNC Park (Pittsburgh Pirates)
PNC Park might not be the biggest stadium, but it’s certainly one of the most beautiful. With its stunning views of the Pittsburgh skyline and the Allegheny River, it’s hard to find a more scenic setting for baseball.
4. Yankee Stadium (New York Yankees)
Say what you will about the Yankees, but their stadium is legendary. A shrine to baseball history, it combines modern amenities with the aura of its iconic predecessor.
3. Busch Stadium (St. Louis Cardinals)
A sea of Cardinals fans in red, a perfect downtown setting, and a breathtaking view of the Gateway Arch make Busch Stadium one of baseball’s best venues.

2. Fenway Park (Boston Red Sox)
There’s nothing else like Fenway. The Green Monster, Pesky’s Pole, and over a century of baseball history make it a must-visit for any fan.

1. Wrigley Field (Chicago Cubs)
No stadium captures the heart of baseball quite like Wrigley Field. The ivy-covered walls, hand-operated scoreboard, and electric atmosphere of Wrigleyville make it the crown jewel of Major League Baseball.
