USA Baseball Stadiums

The Great American Pastime is enshrined in its ballparks, where baseball zealots cheer on their favorite teams. Nothing beats catching a game on a balmy summer evening. The oldest ballpark still in use is Fenway Park in Boston, MA, where the Red Sox have played since 1912. The Chicago Cubs make their home at Wrigley Field , whose ivy-clad outfield fences are an enduring symbol of baseball’s storied past. Known as the “House that Ruth Built,” Yankee Stadium in the Bronx has more history than any other stadium and is still widely considered the greatest ballpark in America. On the West Coast, Dodger Stadium rivals its East Coast predecessors with breathtaking views of downtown Los Angeles and the promise of beautiful weather. But while many purists cling to these relics of baseball’s heyday, a wave of modern stadiums has ushered in a new era, and today the competition among cities for the best ballpark often overshadows team rivalries. Camden Yards in Baltimore, MD, perfectly bridges the gap between old and new, combining brick architecture with the most modern amenities. Perhaps the most impressive new stadium is the Pittsburgh Pirates’ PNC Park , a classically styled ballpark that offers striking views of the Pittsburgh skyline and the chance to blast a homer into the Allegheny River. At SBC Park , Giants fans munch on gourmet concessions and cheer as their sluggers launch dingers into the San Francisco Bay, while at Mile High Stadium , Colorado fans decide which Rockies to gape at: the ones playing ball or the ones towering over the bleachers.
