That last one. Yikes.

The Chicago Dogs baseball park in Rosemont, Illinois by O’hare airport is pretty nice. Seeing the airplanes take off and how modernize the park makes it one of my favorites.

"whose dimensions are so bad, I should sue them" I see what you did there. And yeah, that one is bad. Especially with those apartments where you could potentially hit the ball accidentally

Me: Oh it can't be that bad. *The last one* Me: Bartender just give me the whole damn bottle of Jack Daniels.

Please do CFL Stadium Critiques!

1:21 come on man he's trying his best🤣

Last time I was this early, 5points didn’t have manscaped ads

On the Bosse field, 1. It’s the second way you pronounce it. It’s kind of like saying bossy but with an E. 2. On the dimensions of the field, The outside wall of that stadium used to be the homerun wall back in the 80s when Evansville had its previous minor-league team. When the otters came to Evansville, that’s when the current wall was put in place. On the old wall it was very rare to see someone hit one out of the park. 3. Also, this field was used in the movie A League of Their Own starring Tom Hanks.

2 small things. The Wingnuts belonged to the independent American Association not a AAA league and the FCBL is not professional the league is comprised of unpaid college players. Minor points that I just wanted to make.

Bossie in Evansville is one of my favorite ballparks in the country it's a great atmosphere with some kicks ass baseball

Wow! Loved the fact you included Estadio Revolución from my hometown, it's my favorite place in the world. About the sponsors, that's the way it looks in off-season and for what I know is one of the largest/biggest foul zones in America. Sadly we won't get baseball this year in El Revolución

Imagine playing on that football field when a ball hits you square in the face

Those billboard walls are pretty common in mexican ballparks. It's very nice to have my country featured in one of your videos. Thank you FivePoints.

I went to Lawrence Dumont stadium (2:50) a number of times, never noticed it's shape or odd dimensions at the ends of the walls

Albuquerque, NM native here. Thanks for giving Isotopes Park a shout-out. Oddly, I have never seen an aerial image of that place.

Yes more weird baseball fields thanks five points for entertaining my stoned ass whilst I’m on furlough

The irony is that Isotopes Park is really nice and has amazing views of the mountains, but right across the street is... Dreamstyle Stadium.

Wahconah park opened in 1892. The grandstand was built in 1919.

Albert Park is definitely unique, having the softball infield in centerfield. But the atmosphere there is great. The Pacifics are historically good as well. The softball backstop serves at the center field fence. Which is 370 ft. It helps it play more true to professional dimensions

I have been to so many Midland Rockhound games in my life and never even noticed the weird dimensions of the stadium until you pointed it out in this video. Watching the games there live, it is not really noticeable.

Just wanted to say thanks again fivepoints, really been enjoying the latest content, after a stressful day of being a sweaty sports fan in a world of sports uncertainty, it's nice to get a fix by watching your content. Appreciate the hard work!

Whoever designed Midland's field clearly had a drinking problem

As a lifelong KC Royals fan, I immediately recognized the shape/dimensions of the Lawrence Dumont Stadium in Wichita, Kansas. You see, Wichita used to be home to Kansas City's AA affiliate, the Wichita Wranglers, until 2007 when they moved to NW Arkansas and became the Naturals.Anyhow, the field is actually the exact shape as the Royals field at Kauffman Stadium was from the mid-90s until the mid 2000s when they brought the outfield wall in 10 ft from power alley to power alley. And Kauffman still has the crazy rounded walls down both lines so that, despite being 330 ft down each line, once you get a mere 30 or 40 feet into fair territory it's a good 370 feet to get the ball out of the ballpark similar to the way right field is at Fenway where it's 302 ft but the wall essentially keeps going straight with the foul line so that its 380 ft just a few feet to the fair side of the Pesky Pole.

New Mexico yes haha from there. Lets Go Isotopes

I keep hoping Storm Stadium in Southern California shows up in these Minor League videos, but there's literally nothing interesting about that stadium, except for our mascot, who looks like the dog form of the Philly Frenetic

I bet odd dimensions in stadiums feel like a.... *major* inconvenience

I've performed on the football field at Wahconah Park a few times, and the strangest thing is the fans still sit in the baseball seats (not sure if this is the same for the football games though). Can't imagine it's a pleasurable experience for the fans!

Thanks for the Tour! Odd Stadia makes fun playing Yeah!

Keep up the good work man been watching you for like a year or 2 now

2 of my favorite things in a video, a stadium critique and a video about one of my favorite sports, Minor League Baseball. You should do another BEST minor league ballparks and include, Southwest University Park (El Paso Chihuahuas) and Hodgetown (Amarillo Sod Poodles)

Wildly entertaining video loved this

jokes on you this time fivepoints, usually after you upload a video, i bingewatch all your other videos for about 5 hours, but today i have work muahahhahaha

I went to MSU for law school and lived like two miles from Cooley. Walked past it many times while going to concerts at The Loft. Never stopped for a game there but I wish I did

Nice commentary on the manscaped ad: “Too bad it doesn’t tell you where my g-spot is” 😂 LMAO 😂

The best minor league park is Delta Dental Stadium in Manchester NH. Normal dimensions, hotel out of bricks, fun area, deck, and a water fountain. Above the seating, there are suites. There is place to shop, and the offices under it. The scoreboard is also manual, which is cool.

When I played soccer in middle school, one school had a joint baseball-soccer field, at least 3 players got injured in one game from the sudden change from the turf to baseball field on the sideline making them stumble and get hurt

Thank you for doing the Midland Rockhounds stadium there my home team and I love to watch the games I hope I can go back soon

Cooley Law used to be Oldsmobile Park

Bosse Field in Evansville is an interesting place. They shot “A League of their own” there and still have some of the signs from the movie still up around the stadium.

i would love to stay in those apartments so i could watch live baseball but damn at that last stadium where the outfield is more than 100 yards wide

I live in the Wichita area and went to multiple wingnuts games. I never noticed the shape of Lawrence-Dumont Stadium.

That's it. Time to get on NCAA Baseball 07 and create a field with short fences and each point being 250 ft. away from home plate. God I wish this feature was added to MLB the Show.

Do the best College baseball stadiums or the worst college baseball stadiums. I don’t think you’ve done this one yet. Keep up the perfect vids

You couldn’t have picked an absolute worse picture for Wahconah Park! It’s actually a really nice place to see a game, stands are close to the field, and during baseball season there is zero resemblance of a football field other than the press box behind the center field fence, before a temporary fence was added for baseball the alley to right center was about 460 feet from home plate, only saw 2 balls hit out over that mark, Rafael Palmeiro and Ken Griffey Jr!

Centennial Field, built in 1906, is home to the Low Class A Vermont Lake Monsters. It is older than all three fields mentioned at 4:52

FivePoints will do a stadium documentary someday.

The park in Lansing used to be called Oldsmobile Park. It hosted a soccer team last year that folded after one season. Lansing had a decent soccer club before that one, but they folded to make way for the higher profile team. The team also sought and received city tax funds to put the team in the park. To top it off, their logo was a recycled logo from an old indoor soccer team from Detroit. Baseball people running a soccer team with a rip off logo in a really weird baseball stadium on taxpayer money, what could possibly go wrong?

I LOVE Cooley Law School Stadium because of the quirks...The 135 degree angle at the foul poles (Polo Grounds), the "Monster" walls (Fenway Park)...The Tigers took the RCF recess from this ballpark when they built Comerica Park (this ballpark started play in 1996, Comerica in 2000)...The field faces due North, and the overhead shots remind me of the pre 1973 Yankee Stadium Under the apartments are a resturant (LF side) and a brewpub (RF side) that are open air, and open to fans attending the game

5:15 that’s probably a nightmare for pitchers with ADD.

Albert Park in San Rafael, Ca: In 1937, Jacob and Annie Albert conveyed nine acres of property by deed to the City of San Rafael for use as a neighborhood park. Over the years, Albert Park underwent improvements and additions including: two ball fields, a stadium, four tennis courts, two playgrounds, a picnic area, the San Rafael Community Center, a formal park entry, the Marin Bocce Complex, Parkside Children’s Center, and parking facilities. It underwent improvements and on April 29th, 2019 it had its grand reopening after three years of improvements.

I’ve been to Cooley law school stadium a few times and it’s actually a pretty place to watch a baseball game.

Every time you mention my state of New Mexico it's never on a good list but at least we made the list!

Any video covering a Mexican baseball league park gets a big like

My city, Edmonton, Canada, has Telus field. Although not oddly shaped, the center field is a whopping 420’!

The Isotopes ballpark was in the MLB 2K series. Fun ballpark to play in when working the way up in MyCareer.

Guy from Torreón here!!! I've been following you for a while but I just watched this video and I never thought I would see estadio revolución in one of your vids!! I guess Google pictures were taken a while ago, the stadium has been taken care of under a new admin and looks way better now, but the odd dimensions are still there (partly because of a terrace bar on the right field).

The Wingnuts Actually Played in the American Association instead of Triple A. As a Wingnuts Fan Who went to many games I didn’t notice it was shaped like a Wingnut until now!

Sorta surprised to see the Asheville (NC) Tourists field left off the list. This iconic little park sits high on a hill that has to be approached by driving up and past it to park. Left field is HS distance down the line. CF is around 395:. But RF. . .is the kicker. It has its own version of the Fenway Green Monster. Down the line is under 300' but the wall juts straight up another 20-25". The right fielder has to make a choice on how to play the ball off the wall. It's possible to throw runners out at FIRST on a strong carom if fielded correctly. This park has a long history. Babe Ruth once played there with the Yankees as they moved north from spring training. He's rumored to have eaten 12 hotdogs and became ill. The Astros and Colorado Rockies spent the most time on this field. A ball. This field is a historical gem. Love going there.

I’ve been to the Pulaski Yankees stadium and it’s even worse in person

5:43 Welcome to the Pecos League.

thank you for reminding me to shave my nether region before the video content begins.

Fun facts about Cooley Law School Field: the field itself is actually below street level, and the walls are concrete w/ some padding on the lower parts. saw some wicked balls ricochet off the wall when I was there. Also the apartments are $1400/mo. w/ free access to games, concerts, and other events at Cooley.

Another great video

Ted Williams played one game at Ponce de Leon Park during spring training. He struck out more than once and committed multiple errors, and after the last one, he hurled the ball out of the park and through a window of the Sears Roebuck building across the street.

That alleyway at Copley is extremely deep. Hit a ball there during a diamond classic tournament. Ball just kept floating & floating.

That ump pukeing at the end is priceless 😂

Bro now you're just making fun of me. My grandpa got tickets for 3 saints games this year, like he does every year, the first 2 were cancelled obviously, but the last one is today. I was really looking forward to it but I have to work and I really wanted to go see the Saint Paul Saints with my mom, siblings, and grandpa. Also, the fewer amount of people at the park means more chance to get baseballs, and shorter lines for things. I finally was getting over this immeasurable darkness in which a mortal being has the inability to percieve, but thanks to you I must once again drown in the tears of yesterday.

As an Atlanta resident, I never knew that there was still any vestige of the Ponce De Leon Park. To find out that there is an actual tree that stood on the field is awesome; this is a short walk from the Beltline so I will have to check it out now.

Pittsfield Suns are my hometown team! I love seeing games at Wahconah Park and hope the Suns will be back on the field next year.

3:58: My dad played with the team that played in that stadium

3:53 OMG mexican fan here, thats the park of my city! i have some curious facts about Estadio Revolucion, it has the widest foul territory of the league, that thing at right field is a bar, many homeruns landed there, you can see players throwing warmup balls to the drunk fans (when they are on good mood of course) very often, in the top part of that building you can make a bbq and get hit by a home run too, also the huge wall of billboards its a kind of green monster but yeah never filled with sponsors during the season, behind the park you can find a small sports complex, lots of homeruns land on that place too, you can get some sunburn at the right field seats trying to get a foul ball, my brother caught one on the fly last year and thats all, great video as always man! :D

Albert Park in San Rafael, CA, is much loved (great food!) and my baseball card here commemorates Leroy 'Satchel' Paige having pitched there on August 4, 1967.

I remember going to Portland Beavers and Portland Rockies games at the old PGE park. Good times, but some poor seats though. The posts behind the plate would mess with your view.

that ending with the ump tho. it looks like he got done visiting all of these parks

Rickwood Field Located in Birmingham, Alabama, Rickwood Field is the oldest professional baseball park in the United States. Built for the Birmingham Barons in 1910, it’s now undergoing gradual restoration as a “working museum.” The Barons play one regular season game a year at Rickwood Field.

The Yankees rookie team in the Appalachian League used to play in Pulaski but I didn't realize the field looked like that! 😆

The park in San Rafael CA. 5:24 In my opinion the reason it looks pretty bad is 2 things. 1) patchy grass because water is hard to come by in CA 2) it’s a dual field because land is hard to come by in some areas in CA. Yes I live in CA, an hour away from that town.

I always considered the diamond to be the set part. Like hockey football basketball has a set size so the diamond is the set part. Since its not like the baserunners Sprint into the outfield

Super Bowl XXVIII was an American football game between the National Football Conference (NFC) champion Dallas Cowboys and the American Football Conference (AFC) champion Buffalo Bills to decide the National Football League (NFL) champion for the 1993 season. The Cowboys defeated the Bills for the second straight year by the score of 30-13, winning their fourth Super Bowl in team history, tying the Pittsburgh Steelers and the San Francisco 49ers for most Super Bowl wins. The game was played on January 30, 1994, at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia. Since the 1993 regular season was conducted over 18 weeks (two byes per team), the traditional bye week between the conference championship games and the Super Bowl was not employed; the last time this happened was before Super Bowl XXV. no nae naed

You really do wonder if some designers/architects are doing this as a joke - "What? They actually BUILT my design? LOL!"

For once Sam Lynn Ballpark in Bakersfield, California didn't make this list. Shortest centerfield in professional baseball. It has sun delays, because the Ballpark was built the wrong way. Most games start at 7::45pm

Municipal stadium, Hagerstown Suns (Hagerstown, MD) was one of the weirdest dimension fields I ever played on. Surprised this one didn’t make the list

I PA'd at Albert Park in San Rafael - the field is a gem but thank god they redid the outfield

I live in Pittsfield Waconah is over 100 years old and yet I’m so glad it’s on this video

Hey, you mentioned my Lugnuts! GO NUTS!!!!!

I didn't expected that you incluide the Estadio Revolución, the oldest park in LMB (Opened in 1932). Actually in 2023 it looks much better than the photo. Big Algodoneros fan here

hey man im from pittsfield and let me tell you not only is that ballpark whack, the parking lot floods with any rain

1:21 nice fivepoints nice

Always love these videos. After the restrooms blee up with sewage in the store i work at this has made my shitty day much better

The FCBL is NOT a professional league. They are college players who play using wooden bats during the summer in order to get experience using these bats for future pro careers, as colleges only use aluminum (or other metal) bats now and pros only use wood. The players are not paid so they can keep their NCAA active status. As you said, however, that park WAS home to numerous pro minor leagues in the past. The reason for the curved outfield in right field at Isotopes Park in Albuquerque is because before the park went thru a major renovation and name change, there used to be a drive-in-theater-like parking terrace beyond right field so fans could watch the games from their cars, and the cars would park in a semi-circle. You mention the park in San Rafael being awful, but there were some FAR worse ballparks in the early days of the Independent Leagues, beginning in the early 90s. There were actually teams playing at ball fields that didn't even have any kind of seating for fans at all!

Without odd dimensions I wouldn’t even like baseball.

I wish to hear your views about Arena Football/Indoor Football arenas. The National Arena League comes to mind as a start. Also, I love your views on baseball stadiums, however my hometown stadium (Golden Park) no longer host a team at the moment. Can you do stadiums with similar history for a future video?

If you're ever looking to do a cool "Townball" ballpark list, Jack Ruhr Stadium in Miesville MN is a gem of a gem.

Fun fact: The Lansing Lugnuts are the low single-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays and they tried to get the Blue Jays to play the 2020 season there in their ridiculous stadium. 30 MLB games in that park.

check out a closed minor league ballpark. More like a backyard play area. Baxter Stadium in Mountaindale, New York. It was home to the Sullivan Mountain Lions and Catskill Cougars Low A ball. Opened in 1997 and I believe closed in 2003 when both teams went bankrupt due to low attendance. The park was in the middle of nowhere and the players locker rooms were in the local firehouse.

My cousin played for the Midland Rockhounds and passed away in 2002 during a big mid-career rise to Sacramento then Oakland. RIP Mike Frick

You didn't even mention the best part about Calfee Park. As you mentioned, the field is below ground but the road in right field is actually inclined to it so there are actually two fences in right field. The actual outfield fence is short but there is a hill behind that and then another fence above it to protect the road and the houses on the other side of the road. Left center is also pretty cavernous and I saw quite a few triples in just a small number of games.

Oh yeaaaaa. New vid

The weirdest ballpark in the one in the Mexican minors that has a railroad track running across the outfield. When a train comes, it blows the horn and outfielders have to open the gates so the train can go through. Minor league baseball is weird, but nothing anywhere is weirder than that. Not even living under a roller coaster is that weird.
