MLB The Show 21 - 15 Classic Ballparks We Want to See From Stadium Creator Experts 

there's a rumour that if you create Olympic Stadium in MLB the show it puts you in debt for 46 years - so realistic!

Ebbets Field would be a legendary build. They shouldve put it in the game as one of the diamonds years ago.

I’d love to see at least one ballpark for each franchise that has a previous ballpark. Much more fun to play retro rosters and retro uniforms in those parks

I played in the Astrodome in a high school playoff game.

This has been the dream since World Series baseball on the Sega Genesis.

We also need to see the original old Yankee Stadium, The LA Colosseum, Seals Stadium, The Baker Bowl, Cleveland Municipal Stadium, Braves Field, County Stadium, Hilltop Park, The wooden Polo Grounds and a revamped version of Forbes Field with the right field stands.

Tiger Stadium was my first MLB stadium that I had attended. Very impressionable as an young kid riding in from the suburbs through Detroit and then walking up the concourse to see all that beautiful green grass. I'll never forget it as long as I live.

I love the design of the old Busch Stadium with the arches on the roof and I would love it in the game, every Cardinals franchise I play would be in that ballpark

From metropolitan stadium, Mall of America has home plate marked where it use to be at and the red chair (were Harmon Killebrew hit the longest home run at that stadium) is just above the log chute ride currently located at Nickelodeon universe.

Three Rivers, Riverfront and the Vet are essentially the same stadium. They were the cookie cutter bowl stadiums from the 70s. Shea Stadium (NY METS) had its charm in it's day. I'd like to see that one recreated.

We need pre-renovation Yankee Stadium. With the monuments on the field. The original House that Ruth Built.

As a fellow life long Chicagoan and sports fan, I would love to see the option to play in Wrigley Field pre-video boards and lights like I remember it from the 70's. Seems like it would be a minor thing to do as far as the game mechanics are concerned. Would love to be able to play Dave Kingman and have him hit the 4th house down on Waveland.

The old stadiums were way better than these new ones, more character.

You have no idea how happy I was to see Arlington Stadium and the Astrodome. Two of my favorite stadiums

Tiger stadium was built in 1899, and by 1912, it was navin stadium. The upper deck was built in 1932, and it became tiger stadium. What made this stadium so unique, the upper deck overhung the lower deck

I use to go to the Vet for Phillies back when Schilling played

I was not a fan of this team but one of my favorite stadiums to watch a baseball game was the old Candlestick Park.

Ebbets field is a must have

I’m definitely looking forward to seeing someone create Comiskey Park!

No Jack Murphy/Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego? I loved the palm trees 🌴 that were in centerfield.

What's a guy gotta do to get some love for the first Busch Stadium?! So many memories and the classic arches all around were a great touch.

The "57,000-seat" Candlestick Park was after it was expanded in the early 1970s so the 49ers could move there from old Kezar Stadium. I think you can see some of the expansion in progress at 6:32. How about the original "baseball-only" design? (And IIRC, the fences were brought in because part of the renovation included putting in Astroturf, but too many balls were bouncing just short of the warning track and over the fence for ground rule doubles)

With all the talented creators at OS I'm sure we'll see all of these stadiums up fast

My first pro baseball games as a kid were at Tiger Stadium and Riverfront Stadium. Will definitely make use of those once someone makes them.

I’d like to definitely see some originals. Tigers, Yankees, Dodgers, etc., and how about some Elysian Fields action in ol’ Hoboken?

That picture @29:46 from the first base line at Three River Stadium instantly takes me back to when I was a kid. I remember going to family night for my moms work and sat in almost those exact seats. I got to invite one of my best friends along; we were there a little early and saw the pitcher warming up and it looked like he was just lobbing the ball to the plate. We thought it was just a joke, and then the game starts and he was actually pitching like that... We ended up seeing Tim Wakefield's major league debut that night.

The old cigarette ads are a cool aesthetic that you don’t see anymore

I'm so glad the Vet was included here. That was some of my earliest memories watching baseball

When Reggie hit that homer at tiger stadium was it like in the movie the natural?

Man Ebbetts field is my favorite

Every single stadium had a giant Marlboro ad in the outfield

I just want to see the Oakland coliseum without Mt.Davis lol

That was a really good video! You forgot one really important Stadium..old yankee stadium pre 1973 before the reconstruction, the original "house that ruth built" would be a must for the show 21

Needs Milwaukee County Stadium too. Jack Murphy in SD. Plus the LA Coliseum where the Dodgers played for a bit

Would be hard as I don't think there are any pictures of it, but New Sportsman’s Park/Robison Field in St. Louis in 1896 when there was apparently a "Shoot the Chutes" amusement ride in the outfield.

I really want to see the tokyo dome

Great list! I have reached out to the developers of MLB The Show several times over the years BEGGING for "The Corner" (of Michigan Ave & Trumbull) as us native Detroiters called Tiger Stadium! Best believe that will be THE FIRST ballpark that I'm creating....and I won't even need pictures for reference! The dope part is that you can still see a baseball game at that site. They turned it into the HQ for Detroit's Police Athletic League and there is a NICE baseball stadium there.

Going to The Astrodome as a kid to me was like stepping into a ballpark from another planet. It was just magical and made even better by the fact that I got to see Bagwell and Biggio at their peak all the way up until they retired and guys like the late great José Lima who I wish was alive to see the success that the team has become these days.

Palace Of The Fans is dope AF

Wow, Earl Weaver Baseball, 5.25" floppy disks.... Made my fair share of stadiums as a kid. Also liked how you could print off the box score & game stats on the old dot matrix printer.

These would all be so fun, especially the cookie cutter stadiums. My only adds would be a couple of the funky 19th century parks and pre-1970s renovation Yankee Stadium that was 461 ft to left center with the monuments on the field!

I love that little moment of Pittsburgh appreciation... as a Pittsburgh citizen we thank you

Olympic Stadium, Montreal 💙

Those Houston Astros jerseys still rock to this day.

Old Busch Stadium, Kingdome, and Astrodome are the only three I for sure need to see be put in the game.

I'm on that veterans stadium creation bro. I been saying they need to add that for years in the show. I'm a huge 49ers fan and saw my niners and montana comeback and beat the eagles in 89. Eagles fans was shocked and being 14 yrs old I was going crazy. First memory of the vet. Mike schmidt was my fav player.

Great video!! I’m not much of a gamer anymore at 42 years old but have a lifelong love for baseball who was just looking for baseball RU-vid videos on a rainy Sunday morning you did a great job talking about the old parks and honoring their memory!!

I had fun too!! GREAT video my friend. Great minds think alike. You were narrating pretty damn near all my thoughts and feelings about old ballparks they need to have in MLB the Show already. They also need the classic version of Wrigley Field in there. Without all these jumbo-trons and LED scoreboards everywhere. The original layout, when baseball was baseball at Wrigley Field. With the shiny, glittery Torco sign on the rooftop out on Sheffield Avenue. With those high chain-link fences behind, atop of the bleachers, before they doubled up the bleachers. They also need to make the 7th inning stretch able to be heard in full, with the option of pressing X for those who want to by pass it, because i go through the trouble of putting the MP3s on Sounds Of The Show for Harry Caray singing the stretch at Wrigley, and Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" at Fenway, and you barely even get to hear like four seconds of it before they cut away to the bottom of the inning?!! Also.. no sausage race when playing Milwaukee?? wtf?? No Presidents race in D.C.?? MVP Baseball 2005 with Manny Ramirez on the cover was like the ultimate last best game for franchise mode lovers. They would show the sausages racing around the warning track when in Milwaukee if you stopped in the middle of play and didn't press pause and had left the game running for a while. At least give us that San Diego Studios?! And you could also bring your manager out to argue calls in that MVP game, and clear the benches too lol MLB the Show is LACKING hardcore! Lol And YES put ALL of the historic ballplayers in the video game. Nobody really cares if they took steroids or gambled. People are constantly creating and downloading those players anyways, proof that nobody cares except self claimed saints and purists lol.

In no particular order: Candlestick Park before they added the right/center field upper deck. Metrodome in Minnesota. Seals Stadium in SF. Oakland Coliseum before they added Mt. Davis (and leave out the bad plumbing and always-wet field). Forbes Field.

Astrodome, Ebbets Field, Tiger Stadium , Kingdome, Comiskey Park, Memorial Stadium, Fulton County Stadium, Olympic Stadium, Riverfront Stadium, Veteran's Stadium. These are the parks I like to see someone remodeled these parks.

Just missing Joe Robbie Stadium. It would be funny if some did a create a park with Hard Rock Stadium in its current form lol.

As a baseball fan. It's so cool that we're able create stadiums. And honestly really interesting to see some stadiums I never even seen or heard of lol but regardless it's cool to see classic stadiums!

not even gonna bring up Atlantas Fulton County Stadium where Hank Aaron hit his 715th home run? 😭

I have to agree. I look forward to playing in some of the old cookie cutter stadiums of the past. Not just for nostalgia, but also playing a different Kind of game on the Astro turf. Not sure if this has been programmed into the game, but the physics of the ball bouncing off of the Astro turf with different spins makes for an entirely different baseball experience. Fielding the ball in the infield and outfield would be quite unique in these stadiums. Riverfront stadium, Old Reds stadium, the Astrodome, Superdome in Seattle and many more.

As a Giants fan I'd love to Candlestick and even Seal Stadium. As well as the other old MLB parks but also some international Stadiums like the Tokyo Done, Estadio Hiarm Bithorn in Puerto Rico and others.

Played at the metrodome in highschool and it was the single coolest experience of my life

The original version of the Shea Stadium would also be a fantastic recreation. Opened to coincide with the 1964 World's Fair, it sported orange and blue steel panels representative of the team colors and the colors of the World Fair. It was originally built to be a multi-purpose stadium (the Jets played there until they moved to the Meadowlands in NJ) but was retrofitted to be baseball-only after the Jets moved out. Home of the 1969 Miracle Mets World Champions and the 1969 Superbowl Champion Jets, Shea Stadium also housed the largest scoreboard in baseball at the time with the large Rheingold Beer logo on top along with the team logo and Longines clock. Mets centerfielder Tommie Agree was the only player to have ever hit a home run to the upper deck at Shea and that was marked by a sign at the location. As a kid (and adult) who attended Shea, I can tell you that the upper deck was indeed very "upper." The home run was an estimated 505 feet. An annoying aspect of the stadium back then was the once-in-a-while interruptions of planes flying out of, or into nearby LaGuardia Airport. Players have been known to ask for time during noisy overhead flights. That would be a fun, unique quirk to add to the stadium recreation audio effects if possible.

I don’t know if they’ve been in earlier versions, but I’d like to see some ballparks that were proposed, yet never built. Like the domed successor to Ebbets field, or the scrapped Yankee Stadium replacement from the early 2000’s that had a retractable roof. I can look at scrapped designs like those for hours. I really enjoyed this video. I’d definitely enjoy hearing you talk about ballparks more in the future.

Any stadium from the 60s and 90s i want to see made

Pre-Mt. Davis Oakland Colosseum was my childhood stadium. I would love to see that one too.

Yes! Candlestick Park! Thank you! I have loads of childhood memories going to Giants and 49ers games, including (the OP will hate me for this) Game 5 of the 1989 NLCS when the Giants defeated the Cubs and won the pennant.

If it can be done, seeing someone recreate the original Angels Stadium (long before a bunch of renovations) would be cool. Especially if it'd have the giant "A with a halo" scoreboard.

This was actually a very cool and informative video. I didn't know about a few of these parks. Thanks, man. I'm really looking forward to building Tigers Stadium!

I’ve grown up in Seattle and never got to see Griffey at the kingdome. I would love to see the kingdome in this game.

Comiskey PARK! a legendary ballpark the home of the CHICAGO WHITE SOX, A TRULY GREAT OLDS CHOOL STADIUM BRING IT BACK!!

I got to see a baseball game with my dad at Tiger stadium a year or two before it was replaced. It's cool knowing that I could watch a game where my dad saw several games in his youth and where his favorite team played growing up.

Roof options will be interesting. I hope that add different roof style and fixed/retractable options

DUDE, You're speaking my language with Arlington Stadium. I grew up there, worked there, and still have two seats from there. I was actually in the crew that removed the seats after the last game

I need Busch Stadium 2! Home of Ozzie Smith, Mark McGuire’s 70th homerun in one season, a lot of history at Busch 2. MVP baseball 2005 did it right with having all the retro ballparks

Montreal Olympic stadium is something I really want to see

Jackie Robinson has a special place in Montreal. Before playing with the Dodgers, He was a Royal. The Montreal Royals were Brooklyn Dodgers farm team that played at “Delorimier Stadium” And the people ended up loving him and hated to see him go, but wish him the best.

Ooh... Earl Weaver Baseball back in the late 80's had this feature. I loved doing weird walls. Then they actually happened in real stadiums in the 90. I love this.

My man. My first ballgames ever were watching Juan Gonzalez, Ruben Sierra, Nolan Ryan at Arlington Stadium. It was a dump, but plenty of fond memories!

Jackson hit that in 1971 All-Star game. Hit the transformer on the roof.

My man. You have a great voice. Great style. Just loved your vid here man. I’ll check out much more Awesom

As a Dodgers fan I can’t wait to remake Ebbets and possibly make a modern version of the stadium

Nice to see someone like me who likes stadiums and is probably about my age. I grew up a Pirates fan starting around 1976 or so. Dave Parker was my favorite player and I loved Three Rivers Stadium. Yeah, it was a cookie cutter dual-purpose stadium like The Vet and Riverfront, but it just brings back good memories. And the Steelers. So many good viewing moments. Excellent job on this video.

I thought I was the only non-Phillies fan who remembered Von Hayes

Thanks for mentioning Candlestick Park

Cleveland Municipal Stadium

The old Milwaukee Brewers stadium too

I haven’t heard Marquis Grissoms name in forever. Hoping to create Braves Field, my grandpa used to tell me about Warren Spahn pitching there. Great vid👏

Exhibition Stadium saw the Blue Jays first post-season appearance in 1985

Eric Davis was one of my favs growing up too! Great video. ⚾

As a tiger fan I love seeing some love for tiger stadium even though you hated the tigers. I’ve just been waiting for the show to add it and it’s damn near criminal for them not to. I’m not sure if I can create it myself so I hope someone can? So many cool stadiums to create. That one from Cincinnati is nuts

I actually worked at Arlington Stadium as a beer vendor for 3 yrs. And don't forget the exploding scoreboard at the Astrodome. 1:01 looks incredible.

Three Rivers ❤️ some of my favorite memories watching the early 90’s teams on 📺 and in person

I was 4 years old when I attended my first game at 3RS. My initial critique of the stadium was very poor up until the end, but I do remember accidentally nailing the Parrot in the leg with my bat on free bat and ball day. I got lost in a sea of black and gold and my brother yanked from my shirt to save me from some creep (who I later found out was the Bucs secondary mascot). Later that night, my bro and I were playing baseball in the house with out bats and ball and broke the TV. My mom was so pissed she took our bats, put our names on them and locked them up. I currently have that same bat in my storage locker and it had to be glued and taped back together, but it's a personal momento and is 2nd of my prized childhood possessions.

It was the '71 All-Star game. 6 home runs was hit. Bench hit one in the upper deck in left center. Reggie hit his off the light fixture.

FANTASTIC VIDEO! Thanks for taking me down memory lane. It took me 6 years and I made it to every park with my last one being Candlestick in 91. Of course I’m missing a bunch now. I have been to every park you mentioned except the Met and of course Ebbets Field. I was not a fan of the Vet, 3 Rivers, River Front or old Bush Stadium (not in video). No character and all cookie cutters. No doubt amazing historical events happened in those parks.

You need to mention old Cleveland Stadium. Lots of history there. I saw just as many concerts there as ball games. Pink Floyd, Springsteen, The Who, the stones. I have to wonder what it would have been like had it just been maintained. It was always dirty with what came out of the factories. Even when I saw the All Star Game there in 1981 it was filthy. The men’s room just had a trough that ran down the wall. It had wooden seats that sometimes were just rotted from the elements ;a coat of paint may have prevented that) or simply missing altogether. Of course it had plenty of obstructed seats as poles were often blocking the view in the back of both upper and lower decks. At 80,000 seats the place often looked empty with a half house of 49,000. Its time had come and gone by the time I first went there in the seventies. The last Browns game saw fans with screwdrivers and hammers removing souvenirs. Several fires were started inside with the wooden seats being used as burning material. As bad as it was I still have romantic memories of the old dump.

Completely agree with the majority of these, especially Tiger Stadium, The Kingdome, Astrodome, and Comiskey. But a couple others I'd love to see are Qualcomm Stadium (Padres) and Milwaukee County Stadium (Brewers).

I love your knowledge of the game I learned a few things today....I’m a Cardinals fan live 15 minutes from the stadium yet I live in Illinois...I was raised a Cards fan but I respect the Cubs glad they finally got them a championship in my lifetime...respect!

As a Tigers fan definitely making Tiger Stadium

Dude I'm impressed with your history of baseball ‼ 70s and 80s were the areas I grew up in. I'm from Houston so of course Jose Cruuuuuz was my player‼ Basically I love the Astrodome and 3 Rivers stadium, Reds stadium, Phillies stadium were the Astrodome without the roof.😂 Great video ❣

It would be cool to see some college stadiums recreated in MLB The Show 21.

the first domed stadium was the mellon arena in pittsburgh, but it wasn't home to a major sports team until 1967

So glad you included ebbets field that’s my favorite classic stadium of all time

I miss good old Shea Stadium in Flushing, and I also remember Forbes Field (the Pirates’ first stadium, but I could be wrong) and Atlanta’s Fulton County Stadium, w/ the ‘90’s Braves and their great pitching staff.

For shvts and grins? Old Wrigley Field in LA and the Los Angeles Coliseum. That would be a blast. And Mile High Stadium in Denver. Like your affinity to Arlington Stadium. That place was an outdoor sauna. Oh yeah, have Astroturf as a surface. Like playing on concrete.
