CRITIQUING ALL 30 MLB STADIUMS - Secrets and Hidden Gems 

The real question is Like for grass Reply for turf

Not sure what happened. Originally while I was watching this vid I figured I would jot down the times to help out the rest of the viewers like me. For the harsh critics …name-calling? Really? What are you? 5? ..you’re free to post your own times if it bothers you that much. Although I copied directly from the uploaders video I also took the updated park names into consideration, keep in mind this was not my video and it was meant for good intent. That being said, if the video somehow changes again in the future …don’t shoot the messenger. Peace ✌️⚾️

5:27 now instead of Tal's hill, there's a camera in center so the Astros can steal signs.

As someone who goes to Dodger Stadium fairly regularly, I can confirm that the traffic is an absolute PAIN. Like exits backing up for at least a mile bad.

I miss when stadiums had actual stadium names 😕

Seating Capacity: 31,042 Location: 31,042 Playing Surface: 31,042 Team: Tampa Bay Rays Opened: Tampa Bay Rays - ok

Wtf does he mean “Tropicana sat empty for 8 years” it sits empty til this day!

I love the fields with odd shapes, trees, poles , and hills in play. Weird stuff like that is what makes baseball more interesting to me than the other big sports.

Interesting tidbit - the reason the Angels play in Anaheim is because of Walt Disney. The Angels originally played at Wrigley Field (Yes there was a Wrigley Field in Los Angeles) and when they became a major league team they shared Dodger Stadium for a few years. Gene Autry wanted a stadium of his own but had a hard time finding a location. He considered Long Beach but didn’t want the fans showing up in beach attire (how times have changed!). So at the suggestion of his dear friend, Walt Disney, he settled upon Anaheim and the rest is history. In fact Gene Autry did ask Walt Disney to co-own the team with him but Walt Disney turned him down, saying he didn’t want their friendship ruined because of something like a trade they disagreed with.

The shade thrown at the Red Socks was great! "John Harrington wanted to sell the team. Which he did to owners who cared about winning." LOL!

Busch stadium does have its own village near it which is pretty unique

The jokes on PETA, because the Padres have never won a championship.😂😩

Even though I’m a Mets fan, Fenway Park is one heck of a ballpark.

Actually, the Green Monster was built to stop home run balls from damaging the car dealership that was there when the stadium was originally built.

Guaranteed Rate Field is beautiful! And the food is to die for 😋😋😋

How ironic Coors field set the homerun record with 303 which is also the area code of Denver, illuminati confirmed 👍

Team: Tampa Bay Rays Opened: Tampa Bay Rays May want to fix that for a reupload.

Thumbs up for the Urinating Tree cameo at 4:30.

I and a friend have done all thirty and have always found something good about each but being in Houston for the first game after the Hurricane was by far the most memorable. Not going to lie we had both had to wipe away a tear or two that day.

"you probably don't want to get lost in the area. Unless you're looking to score a dub"🤣

Comerica Park's flagpole used to be in fair territory before they moved the bullpens there (the original dimensions were insane) - it was a nod to Tiger Stadium whose center field flagpole was always in play.

Great video. You should critique old stadiums that are no longer used next. Either that or hockey next would be awesome

Camden Yards: A great baseball field for a horrible baseball team. (Still, go O’s)

Critiquing stadiums: T-mobile park (safeco field): “ Garlic Fries “

So I live in KC, but I’m a diehard yankees fan. I’ve been to Kaufman stadium at least 25 times. I’ve been to Yankee Stadium once. It’s cool, but it lacks any special thing in particular. On the other hand, Kaufman is my favorite stadium even though I’m not a huge royals fan. It’s big, it’s got a great scoreboard, the fountains look great, and it’s just overall a great environment.

I went to the Trop one time when the Rays played the Rangers and I was literally the only person in my section. The place is a disaster

Fact about Busch Stadium: The Gateway Arch is cut out in grass in the outfield

Angels: Can we get a new stadium? Anaheim: Technically your stadium has been rebuilt twice... So it is new... Angels: Hello Tustin, Hello Long Beach...

As a Cubs fan I can confirm that every worker at Wrigley is super nice.

1 - Fenway Park 2 - Wrigley Field 3 - PNC Park 4 - Camden Yards 5 - AT&T Park 6 - Kauffman Stadium 7 - SunTrust Park 8 - Target Field 9 - Petco 10 - Great American Ballpark 11 - Safeco Field 12 - Angels Stadium 13 - Busch Stadium 14 - Coors Field 15 - Dodger Stadium 16 - Citizen's Bank 17 - Marlins Park 18 - Progressive Field 19 - Guaranteed Rate Field 20 - Globe Life Park 21 - Citi Field 22 - Ricky Henderson Field 23 - Comerica Park 24 - Nats Stadium 25 - Minute Maid Park 26 - Miller Park 27 - Rogers Center 28 - Yankee Stadium 29 - Chase Field 30 - Tropicana

Dodgers stadium is that largest capacity, baseball only stadium (56,000 seats). had 3 million attendance the most times and reach 3 million 19 times in last 21 seasons.

You can thank Disney for the Angels still being in Anaheim, they bought the team and totally redid the stadium.

7:44 thats... the AT&T Park, the AT&T Stadium is located in Arlington Texas and its home for the Dallas Cowgirls

the Apple in citi field isn’t from Shea that one sits outside of the stadium

You got the part about the green monster wrong. It was built to keep balls from hitting cars in the parking lot across the street.

Tropicana field has a location of 31,042?

AT&T Park (now Oracle Park, formerly Pacific Bell Park, SBC Park) was built during the Barry Bonds era and probably designed for it him and his towering homeruns. I've seen him hit a few Splash Hits into McCovey Cove. Such a sight to see.

Fun little fact about AT&T Park (Or Oracle now I guess) is that because it’s so close to the bay a lot of seabirds live there and will begin circling the field in mass near the end of night games. The birds have sorta worked out when the games end and will swoop in for food once everyone starts leaving

As someone who lives in Houston I'd like to point out one glaring problem with Minute Maid Park that you missed. Since 2017 the left field wall has been covered in so many sponsorship billboards that you can barely see the train or the city skyline that made the stadium interesting and enjoyable when it first opened.

1:39 Opened: Tampa Bay Rays lol

PS The best thing that happened to the Trop was the Bolts playing hockey there back when it was still the Thunderdome. There were consistently 26,000+ fans in the stadium. Something the Rays can't even say. But, you know, Tampa (St Petersburg technically back then since that's where the sad excuse for a baseball stadium stands) isn't a hockey market. LOL

You real slick with that Southern CT reference lmao.

1:37 Playing surface: 31,042 Makes sense

Dodgers always keep it old school! Dodger Stadium one of the best stadium's!

The Elon Musk joke had me rolling 💀💀💀 do NBA arenas next

Man Yankee Stadium sure is beautiful went to the opener yesterday 3rd time being and I still caught goosebumps sitting down in my seat

10:20 The Liberty Bell ringing when the Phillies win and/or hit home runs is the best part of CBPark.

Fenway Park’s Green Giant wasn’t built to keep people that didn’t pay from watching the game-it was built to protect the vehicles on the lot of a Used Car Lot/Dealership that used to sit directly across the street on Lansdowne Street from the frequent home runs that were hit out of the park in Left Field-this Used Car Lot was subsequently sold and is now a parking lot/garage for the city.

I wonder how many sports team fandoms see this video and feel pride when their field is mentioned vs how many cringe.

"One of the biggest criticisms of the park is access, as" *video ends*

I’m from Wisconsin and I love Miller Park!!!!

I'm an Oakland Athletics fan and I was just waiting for our stadium to get destroyed by your review, I'm surprised you didn't label it as the worst ballpark in mlb or something along those lines.

The Green Monster wasn't built to keep people from looking in. It was built to keep balls from going out. When it opened, there was a used car lot next door. To keep the cars on display from being damaged by homeruns, The Green Monster was built because it was thought it would be impossible for balls to be hit out of the park.

0:10 Me pretending to be WWE pro wrestler Edge v.s. One of my friends in the backyard! 😆

I’ve been going to “Globe Life Park” since I can remember. Construction on the new park next to it looks promising.

WTF is with all the typos for Tropicana Field? Corrections: Capacity: 25,000 (41,000 with tarp removed) Location: St. Petersburg, FL Surface: Astroturf Team: Tampa Bay Rays Opened: 1990 Roof type: Fixed Dome Also it didn't sit empty for 8 years. The Lightning played there from 1992-95 until Amile Arena was built.

I have been to both of the baseball stadiums in Chicago. I prefer Wrigley Field since I am a Cubs fan, but I can say as a baseball fan that Guaranteed Rate Field is actually pretty cool despite housing the Chicago White Sox. Guaranteed Rate Field even has the old showers from Comiskey Park but revamped so they are more modern and they can be used to cool you off on a hot day because it's like the only part of Chicago that doesn't seem to get a lake breeze.

finally a video that tells it like it is about ancient dodger stadium, the least accessible of any major sports venue anywhere. the parking costs more than the cheapest tickets, the food is among the worst in the majors, and you get to walk up and down hills after your two hour drive through city traffic jams. no wonder locals like anaheim or even petco better.

Didn’t do globelife near the credit it deserves. It is a child’s playground with all the games and activities you can play right behind center field. You can stroll all around the park and never miss a pitch while also partaking in endless sports games and competitions. Best park in all of baseball. I grew up in that stadium.

I feel like Globe life Park wasn’t given enough credit... the fireworks shooting out of the lights, the hotel behind centerfield, the adds on top, the food and the balcony is by far what makes that park so special in my heart really sad too see it go

0:11 That killed him! My God that killed him! As God as my witness, he is broken in half!

8:30 your Idea for Bernie Brewer -Sir Toke A lot ....... Is AMAZING!! lol

Camden Yards is the best...still has an old school feel, even though it came in 93...the warehouse makes it iconic

I’ve been to Safeco Field (now known as T-Mobile Park) 3 times, most recently in 2015. I’ve also been to Nationals Park, also in 2015.

The old Yankee Stadium was iconic..new one is nice, but looks too retro like..I love my YANKEES, but the stadium is more like a museum/mausoleum combination stadium .But I love it anyway..

I’ve been to Citi Field like a year after it opened. Loved the place,

6:39 Thank God. That hill made it impossible to hit a home run to centre field and I hoped for years it would go away and now it's gone. I associate that hill with the Astros sucking for so many years. They finally won a World Series in the first year it was removed. Coincidence? I think not.

Incorrect: The pillars/poles at the old Yankee Stadium were removed during the complete renovation in the late 70's. Also, you can still smoke at Citizens Bank Ballpark in Philadelphia. The official A to Z guide lists no smoking section. However, due to complaints, smoking is allowed at the top and bottom of the first base ramp. There are fixed ashtrays and designated smoking area signs at this area. Although not included in the stadium's guide, (for crowd control?) any security guard can confirm and direct you to the first base ramp. This is current as of July 2019.

Rogers Center was also the final multi purpose stadium built on this continent. It was the home of the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League from 1989 to 2016. They moved to their new stadium, BMO Field, in 2017. Which is where CNE stadium once stood which was also home to the Blue Jays and Argonauts

6:01 Seeing this picture made me cry as I'm an Atlanta native

Even though dodger stadium is old it’s the most beautiful and well maintained stadium in mlb

I LOVE PNC Park! You should go there.

Truly one of my favorite things i have ever done is walking up an looking the green monster. It has made me so happy. Truly a magical moment.

Why is Jeter so immortalized? I know his post-season stats were god-like and he helped win all those championships in the 90’s and 2000’s, but the man never won an MVP award, and despite many highlights he was actually an awful defender. If you don’t believe me look up his defensive stats. I do believe he deserved to be in the HOF, but not as a unanimous first-balloter. I think if he wasn’t a Yankee people would barely remember him, and definitely would have grown up seeing way less Jeter highlights and hearing his praise since his first MLB at bat.

Do hockey rinks please!

The Ray's where called Tampa Bay Devil Ray's when they opened

One of the most overlooked feature of Fenway Park is the curved right field fence. It's like a hockey rink. This matters because if there is a well hit ball down the right field line, the right fielder must make every effort to keep the ball from rolling all the way down the line, around the curve towards center field. I have seen a number of inside-the-park-home-runs hit that way.

It’s cool how Minute Maid Park used to be a union station

Yeah, safeco field (now T-Mobile Park) is a great park, and you can smell the garlic fries from home plate to nosebleed center field. Delicious I might add.

Here’s my park rankings of the parks I’ve been to 3. Citizens Bank Park 2. Yankee Stadium 1. Camden Yards

You should have mention that Safeco field is the only stadium to use led lights.

Garret Jones has hit one into the river at PNC at the time of the publishing of the video. And Pedro Alvarez hit one into a boat that was moored in the river.

No stadium or park can ever come close to Fenway Park. Classic!!!

Miller Park built a statue of the three workers killed in the Big Blue crane accident, which also delayed the opening of the park by a whole year. The former location of home plate at County Stadium is now home plate in a little league stadium called Helfaer Field, in the middle of the parking lot.

No homer but Dodger Stadium is the coolest (only stadium that's carved into the geology of the neighborhood). AT&T is nice too (only good thing to say about the Giants)

Josh Bell blasted two into the Allegheny on a fly within two weeks a few weeks ago...it was absolutely epic

Busch Stadium is beautiful, you must be a Schlub fan.

I can’t be the only one who genuinely loved the statue in marlins park am I?

i busted up laughing at the end. I can only imagine lol

8:30 “in what is the most Mets moment ever.” Me a few months ago: “wait, how?” Me a few months later after watching so many Mets videos: *oh now I understand*

As an Orioles fan I have to say Petco Park was pretty damn noice from the one time I went

Anyone else confused by the abrupt end to the video

Fun fact Wrigley is one of the only ball parks that allows you to throw balls back hit by the other team. Most parks will boot you for that

The flag pole at Comerica Park was in play as an homage to Tiger Stadium, which also had that feature. It's only out of play now because they moved the left field fence in to try to attract both free agent hitters and the All-Star game...

Hell, throw cash around in the area outside of Nats Park. That neighborhood's been gentrified to hell and back. Just don't cross the river.

7:31 DC's area code is 202, not 203.

Not only do we Sox fans have to deal with that horrible name... THE LOGO IS A BIG RED DOWN ARROW. Still no matter how much they hurt me they are my team always.

had the great opportunity of staying in the hotel in rogers center. that stadium is amazing and i’m not even a jays fan.

Couldn’t agree more with everything you said, especially about the garlic fries at Safeco. Best I’ve had anywhere in the world
