As the Owner of the Ogden Raptors, I’d like to thank you for listing Lindquist Field in your top 20 beat views. I marvel the look everyday. Side note. The furthest peak behind left field is call Mt. Ben Lomond. It’s the original mountain used in the motion pictures Paramount Studios. Thank again for promoting us
Fun fact: on a clear day, you can sit in the upper deck of Oracle Park and look across the Bay and see the Oakland Coliseum, making it the only MLB park visible from the seats of another MLB park.
Speaking of stadiums that have views of other stadiums. Perhaps that could be a video catagory in its own right. May I suggest the view from the Trent end at the city ground in Nottingham (Nottingham Forest FC). from the uppermost seats you get a clear view of Trent Bridge (Nottinghamshire CCC). As an added bonus if you get up and walk to the back of the stand the windows open up a view of the River Trent and Meadow Lane (Notts County FC)
Another great video. I too would chose Lavell Edwards Stadium views over Rice Eccles - the mountains are taller and seem closer. The HPCA stadium mountain views were stunning, also. Thanks!
I mean a stadium is something enclosed with seating capacity where a centrally staged event can take place so i guess we can call a race track a stadium 🤔
Fitting that your thumbnail is that of the beautiful Newlands Cricket Ground overlooking Table Mountain in Cape Town. Hoping I get to visit one day, ideally for an India vs South Africa test match. Watched those 2 teams battle it out at Eden Gardens in Kolkata back in 2004 so it would be only apt that I see them again at Newlands.
Not only does the Staten Island ballpark have great views, the ferry from Manhattan (which is free) offers great views of its own, including a great look at the Statue of Liberty off the starboard side on your way to Staten Island. The ballpark opened in 2001, and after a game in early September I stood at the front of the ferry on its way back to Manhattan, admiring the view of the Manhattan night skyline getting closer and closer. Little did I know that that skyline would change forever in just a few days…
Richmond County Bank Ballpark is getting a new team for 2022. Night games are incredible, especially when they do fireworks on Friday and Saturday nights. If you come to NYC in the summer, I highly recommend it.
I can't believe that La Rosaleda isn't in the mix. The views of the Málaga Mountains from the stands is unreal. And I'm hardly Biased, I live 3 miles away from The Riverside at Chester le Street and support Durham CCC (in the cricket).
Have to agree with this one. Been to a game there. Day or night the view is all skyline and Charlotte's Skyline has grown dramatically and is still growing. Voted best Triple A baseball park in America.
If you get up high enough in Autzen Stadium (home of the Oregon Ducks, pac12, football) on night games you have an awesome view of the coast range to the east, and the setting sun to the west. But, I'm biased. I graduated from Oregon in 1990, and have been a fan of the Ducks my whole life.
I do not get it. Two minor league NYC stadiums yet , Autzen, Husky, & The Rose Bowl were left out?!?! At least one of these three should have been on the list.
Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Missouri and Isotopes Park in Albuquerque, New Mexico have great views also. No sure if this would count but, Billy The Kid Race Track in Ruidoso Downs, New Mexico also has a great view of surrounding mountains.
I sit in the south endzone at LaVell Edwards Stadium and the view is breathtaking to the North and the East. And having late kickoffs (for TV) means we get some pretty incredible sunsets, too.
Only one of these stadiums I’ve been to is PNC Park and I can easily say it’s the best baseball stadium based on view and design. I’ve been to a lot of ballparks and I’m from Detroit so my opinion isn’t biased. You just can’t beat PNC Park
I visited PNC Park with a friend in 2010 over the American Independence Day (July 4) weekend series between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Pittsburgh Pirates. I think that it may be the best ballpark in the National League. The yellow bridge in the background is the pedestrian-only Roberto Clemente Bridge, named after the Pirates' Hall of Fame rightfielder. It provides access to the stadium from downtown. The rightfield wall is 21 feet (6.3 m) high in honor of Clemente's jersey number 21.
How did you miss California Memorial Stadium in Berkeley California which along with the Army stadium at West Point were deemed the most beautiful collegiate venues in the U.S. by Sports Illustrated Magazine years ago? This stadium overlooks San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge and the greenery of Marin County in the distance looking west and the wooded Strawberry Canyon and the amazing historic houses of Panoramic Hill to the east. On top of that the stadium itself dates from the 1920's and was designed by a very famous American architect, John Galen Howard, in a style based on the Roman Coliseum and is on the National Register of Historic Places in the U.S. So you have both incredible views in all directions and great sightlines from within the stands all with a truly historic architectural design which cannot ever be replicated today. If only the current footballs teams could get back to matching this incredible site but that is another issue.
Went to the Cal/ Arizona State game there in 1982. We took Bart there from Fremont. It had rained all morning but the clouds broke about game time. The view of the San Francisco skyline, Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz with sunlight coming through the rain clouds was the most incredible sight I've ever seen
I'ma BAMA fan, but had a son in law in the military stationed in El Paso Texas, we went to a UTEP game , it is a small stadium but kept up so clean and beautiful design like the back end looks like it's built right into the Franklin mountains
Need to have a look at Arnos Vale cricket ground in st Vincent and the Grenadines mate…. Right by the picturesque Caribbean Sea. Greetings from Barbados
Good to see the Wanderers in the list I would have the Iowa stadium in the list for the view of the children’s hospital and the classy way they recognise and support those brave kids
Can’t believe Autzen, Husky, & The Rose Bowl were omitted. At least ONE of these stadiums should have been here. Yet he put two NYC minor league parks on the list. Really?!
I'm kind of bias, but there are two grounds in Queenstown, New Zealand, worth a mention. John Davies Oval at the Queenstown Events Centre is a pretty stunning spot looking straight towards the aptly named Remarkables mountain range. Also, the Queenstown Recreational Reserve in downtown Queenstown has a pretty awesome view of the surrounding mountains, and sits directly beneath Ben Lomond and the Skyline Gondola and lookout. Both are pretty awesome spots to set up for a day to watch some rugby or cricket.
I would suggest Highmark Stadium home of the Pittsburgh Riverhounds. It’s got the Pittsburgh skyline, a bridge, the river, and a train running along the side of the stadium by the river. It’s small but it is one of the best views I have ever seen in America.
STADIUM Gospin Dolac,town of Imotski and STADIUM Batarija,town of Trogir....both in Croatia have far more spectacular view than 90% of here listed stadiums
If you ever decide to make a part 2, I would like you to consider the cricket grounds located in New Zealand. Especially these three: 1. Basin Reserve, Wellington 2. John Davies Oval, aka Queenstown Events Centre 3. Bay Oval, Tauranga. PS- Apparently it just occurred to me, that suggesting stadiums located in New Zealand to an Australian was not the wisest thing to do.
You could hardly call it a stadium, but the non-league soccer team Liversedge FC and their home of Claybourn. A fantastic view of the Spen Valley and further.
Claggan Park might not have reached your criteria but it is a stadium rather than a field. It's the home ground of Fort William FC who play association football in the Scottish Highland league. Their ground is situated at the foot of Ben Nevis, the largest mountain in the UK
The best view in any stadium is the field/pitch in the middle of it when the home team is winning !! When the homies are losing , it’s only then we are like “where are them damn mountains. !!! “
While the Riverside (5:56) is very attractive, it's not the most beautiful cricket ground in England. That would be Arundel in Sussex, which has jaw-dropping views of the surrounding rolling hills and countryside. Worcester is also great, being overlooked by the ancient cathedral.
The view Southeast from Worcestershire CCC's New Road Ground of Worcestershire Cathedral is so iconic, it is what most people bring to mind when they think of the city. It is certainly the view that sells the most postcards in the city's gift shops
UW is gorgeous. But they obstructed too much of that gorgeous view while sitting down. The should have the east side more open for views. Stadium HS should have been on the list.
The Restelo in Lisbon has a breath taking view of the Estuary and of a 15th century UNESCO heritage site. Just a shame Belenenses no longer play in the top flight
