The Current State of EVERY MLB Stadium Entering 2024 

Would love it if these stadiums were known by their real names rather than their sponsors.

This guy could make a video about baking a cake and still manage a “translucent roof” reference.😅

I don't think T-Mobile park is going anywhere anytime soon

If I'm not mistaken, Fenway Park is now a protected monument in Boston, so even if they don't play there anymore, it wouldn't be demolished.

I think Toronto will do everything possible to keep the Rogers Center functioning as the Blue Jays stadium. Its worth mentioning that the location is iconic; right next to a symbol of Toronto in the CN tower

Really starting to think you are trolling. The Angels don't have an attendance problem. The stadium is old, the team has been BAD for 10 years, but the fans STILL show up. Blame ownership for not renovating and not trying to win.

Progressive Field has exposed steel beams THROUGHOUT the entire stadium, yet this guy keeps going on and on about a handful of exposed beams in the third deck of right field.

Angels Stadium is actually a great experience. I love how you can walk around the entire concourse and get to the seats. It's unique nowadays for it to be so open and unrestricted. One of my favorite ballparks, and I also disagree with them moving

T-Mobile should be in the safe category imo

The whole idea behind Target Field is that the Twins wanted to play Baseball outside. Open air, no roof, bot even retractable. They wanted real grass stains on their uniforms.

Nothing wrong with the stadium in Seattle.

how do you get away with us watching the same videos you've got a talent man

Fenway and Wirgley are two stadiums that when it's time to move to new stadiums they should both be preserved as a museum at least

Seattle has never torn down a stadium without irreversible structural issues, Climate pledge hadn't held a big 4 sports game in 13 years before the Kraken showed up even though the stadium was built in 1960. Minnesota and Dallas on the other hand tend to replace stadiums at a higher rate and wouldn't be surprised if the Twins wants a roof and the Rangers ask for a new stadium as well.

My home stadium, Comerica Park will be safe. It's part of Detroit's grand vision of District Detroit, which combines entertainment, new high-rises, restaurants, as well as a casino. It's a sweet vision, but it would be better if the Pistons would play better. Quick Comerica Park fact - outside of Comerica Park is a huge Tiger statue. It will not be painted until the Tigers win the World Series - It was a motivation of Mr. Illitch to get that thing painted and the kids will keep the tradition alive until the Tigers do.

Rogers Centre "Skydome" is not going anywhere for 30 years, period. Rogers only paid 25 million dollars for it after a half billion taxpayers investment in building it in 1989. The fact Rogers has now invested 500 million into it, it's here to stay.

I was surprised when the REAL Yankee Stadium (The House That Ruth Built) was demolished for the pretender that exists today. It's up there with the demolition of Penn Station in the 1960's to build Madison Square Garden as travesties to historic architecture. Twenty-five years ago, I considered Yankee Stadium there with Fenway Park and Wrigley Field as all-time icons. Maybe there were factors I didn't know about that made keeping up the old stadium impossible or impracticable but it was a loss to baseball nonetheless. I don't think we'll ever see a stadium that saw as many World Series (37) or titles (26) as Yankee Stadium. The new stadium has just 1 back in the year it opened (2009). You are gone but not forgotten.

as a houstonian, Minute Maid is an awesome park and is definitely safe. everyone here loves it. it's certainly better than Globe Life. I'm sure they'll renovate to some extent in the next 10 years but i'd be shocked to see it replaced in the next 25 tbh

How about giving us the names of the stadiums and their home teams? I despise naming rights, because you can't tell where the places are.

Growing up in Boston, Fenway may be around longer than any building in the city. Def safe, no need for umpire review

The White Sox had Comiskey Park & flushed it down the toilet for the crap stadium they’re trying to get rid of now 😓

I have no doubt that some of those ballparks (Fenway, Wrigley, etc.) are going to be around in some way, shape, or form 500 years from now.

Kauffman Stadium SHOULDN'T be endangered but is because the asshole owner wants a downtown stadium with an entertainment district built around it that he will own as well, all on the taxpayer dime of course. The Chiefs and Royals stadium issue is combined and Jackson county Missouri resident will vote on whether to extend the current 3/8 cent sales tax to pay for Arrowhead's renovation and Kauffman's replacement. If it fails to pass one of the biggest reasons is John Sherman's insistence he get a new ballpark downtown instead of renovating a perfectly good Kauffman stadium.

How is Minute Maid a tweener? Guy is nucking futs

I don’t get what’s wrong with marlins’s loan depot park and you always bash it. Have you been to Miami during the summer?they need this stadium to play baseball down there.

I think in MLB most of the parks are safe even the ones that need to be remodeled within the next few years to a decade. I don't think there's more than 5 tweener or endangered parks in here. The ones I'd take out of tweener are mainly T-Mobile Park which definitely isn't going anywhere in the next 2 decades. Minute Maid Park, Miller Park, Great American Ballpark, Loan Depot Park, Angel Stadium, and I have no idea why you hate Chase Field so much? Chase Field is extremely beautiful, and was ahead of its time. The situations that I'm definitely looking at will be White Sox stadium which is clearly moving to downtown Chicago soon, Comerica Park which has a renovation situation, but could easily be replaced too, and Rogers Centre might get another huge renovation sooner than we think as Toronto could still be working on getting the Olympics there in the 2030s. If I had to guess, one of the Florida teams will be on the move.

Rogers was considering redeveloping the entire stadium area: tearing down Sky Dome, building a dedicated baseball park with real grass, then slicing off a portion of the land for mixed-use development to fund it. Instead they decided upon a major reno, but they may yet return to option A at some point in the future.

Target Field - It's obviously a "safe park" and I should point out that it has had numerous smaller renovations over the years. A new main scoreboard along with other smaller ones. A new bar area above the batter's eye. Seating changed in right field around the overhang. Etc etc - they have been doing tweaks almost every year it seems.

I think MLB is bringing to realize that anything with a retractable roof is only going to be desirable so long as the roof is working, and those things are hard and expensive to maintain. Without major $$$, any of the current retractable roof stadiums are likely to be on shaky ground in the next 15 or 20 years.

Loved Kauffman stadium, rained out in 05, finally used rain checks in 2019. Saw George Brett on the field even if the team didn't play since it was a 20th anniversary celebration ( did see him play in Fenway versus Boston). In 2019 I saw Mike Trout, saw Albert Pujols pass Barry Bonds on the all-time RBI list, most importantly it's the last ballpark we went to before my dad's Parkinson's got too bad. I love going over to my parents house and watching All-Star games and the World Series I'm thinking about all the fun we had at about 15 different ballparks, a couple in the same city with Pittsburgh and Cleveland. I've been to two on my own then with friends. It's so much fun seeing a video like this and reminiscing. We saw Bob Feller at an Old-Timers Game in Florida 70 years after my great-uncle saw him for his 10th birthday at League park. Hey Depressed Ginger, Do you have a video about all the ones you visited?

Great American has had many renovations. They are doing a renovation right now for a bar area you can watch the game at.

Great American ballpark is heavily underrated. Comerica I’ve never liked since replacing tiger stadium. I still think the Tigers should’ve found a way to save Tiger stadium. That stadium will always be my all time favorite ballpark. It just oozed national pastime.

Oakland coliseum rip 🪦

the problem of the marlins is not the attendance but the ownership who keeps the team inconsistent

I’m just glad Wrigley and Fenway are safe ❤

I've come to the conclusion you have ZERO idea about stadiums. Some of the "tweener" stadiums are insane especially Loan Depot, Comerica Park, And minute maid park

I disagree with T-Mobile Park, Nationals Park, and American Family Field’s placements on the tweener list. Those three ought to be in the safe category. American Family Field is going nowhere till at least 2050. Nationals Park just opened in 2008. It’s not even 20 years old yet. How could you put such a young stadium in the tweener category?! I get loanDepot Park, but at the same time, the Marlins have always been sub-par. I’d say ownership of the Marlins needs to be changed and then people would start coming. And by the way, you still haven’t reported on the brand new two videoboards that are being installed at American Family Field. The renovations began this offseason. There are pictures on the internet of the Brewers swapping out videoboards!

Minneapolis is SPECTACULAR in the summer. There's no chance the Twins ever go back indoors. The entire reason for building Target Field the way it is is to play baseball outdoors. If they *ever* felt the need to play indoors, US Bank Stadium technically is multipurpose.

Comerica Park is actively undergoing renovations!! (I work across the street and they have been renovating it the last month or two) They are just about complete a really nice new scoreboard and other amenities. I would say they are likely safe for now otherwise it's a really silly investment by the Tigers to renovate.

One thing that I disagree with. Renovations extend the life of ballparks. Had the extensive renevations to the original Yankee Stadium not happened in the '70s, the park probably would've been replaced and demolished sometime between 1980 and 1990, instead of 2009. Fenway and Wrigley have had a number of renovations each, and they're going to stick around for a long time to come. So pointing out all the renovations that many of these parks have had in his "tweener" or "endangered" groupings are is funny, since that's what's going to make them stick around a few decades longer.

In no way is T-Mobile a Tweener stadium 😂 Seattle and the mariners will never build a new stadium, they’d sooner relocate . You have zero clue what you’re talking about

Your nuts in talking that the parks have to be replaced very soon. When the owners use their own money OK. BUT KNOWING AND SEEING HOW POOR CITIES ARE IN TAKING CARE OF THEIR CITIZENS WITH SCHOOLS , ETCETERA, THE IDEA OF REPLACING THEM , SHOULD BE DROPPED

T-Mobile park is in not in any danger. The park has been well maintained and is in extremely good condition. The ownership has not hinted that they are unhappy with it.

American Family Field will be staying into the 2050s

Comerica Park opened in around 2000 or 2001, so it was built after Progressive was built

This guy would advocate for tearing down anything older than about 30 years old and squandering billions of dollars for something brand new.

T-Mobile is beyond solid. It’s a great stadium in a great place. Lots of infrastructure and knowing Seattle, they’d rather invest in more important things than a vanity project.

The Marlins and the city of Miami have a signed agreement for 30 years. I think they can leave in 2041 or 42

Most of these stadiums are going to around for a while. And Comerica park has had a small renovation. They did move the fences in. Just wondering if you have ever been to any of these stadiums.

I like to describe Busch as the least bad stadium. Not to be confused with the best its just there's not really anything bad to say about it. Solid park overall

Angel stadium ain't going nowhere.

If you post MLB ballpark videos everyday I will watch everyday

I'm a sucker for hearing about retractable roofs, average colour seatings and upper decks.

Comerica Park opened in 2000. Progressive in 1994

If the Rays DO stay in the Tampa Bay Area, they might have to extend their lease on the Trop another season at this point. New stadiums take a while to build and have construction delays all the time. They haven’t even turned dirt on a new stadium yet.

As a Kansas Citian, the majority of people are against the Royals moving the stadium downtown for MANY reasons. The Royals and Chiefs have both recently threatened to leave the city unless they get what they want (and we pay for it). As far as I'm concerned...let the Royals go. The chiefs have everything to lose, the Royals are a pathetic team who barely draw and barely win. They wouldn't really be missed that much

contradicts himself in almost every other sentence.. "This stadium needs nothing for the next 30 years." Serious? every stadium gets renevations every 5-8 years

Yeah T-Mobile is top 5 ballparks period. It ain't going anywhere. Everyone just overlooks it because Seattle is so far away from every other baseball city.

Progressive Field isnt going anywhere, it's loved by the fanbase, and every renovation has been liked. The current renovation was needed, and the park is getting new seats.

Comerica park has received minor renovations the past couple years, it’s still a great attraction and the city backdrop will ensure the stadium withstands the test of time. Detroit won’t be moving on from this one for a very long time, all 3 of their pro sports are within 2 blocks of each other.

The 'Stros extended their lease at MMP until 2050, so it ain't going anywhere for another 26 years.

Comerica Park isn’t going anywhere, with Ford Field next door and Little Caesars Arena a block or so away. Definitely needs renovating beyond the new Jumbotron and food court TVs.

I think MMP is safe but agree with you about changing the glass behind the train track

Toronto's renos have been incredible!

People bash Oakland but then they go to a game there and be like wow this isn’t so bad as what people make it to be ! John Fisher never invested money into the stadium or team and blocked the Raiders owner from doing so

Nothing wrong with Great American Ballpark that decent Reds teams wouldn't curr.

if the dbacks leave chase field you could easily gut the interior and turn it to a soccer specific stadium for an expansion mls team. chase field does have the perfect shape to do than in, it a square airplane hanger

Petco Park is a beautiful stadium, cant say the same about the inhabitants though.....

The AmFam Clam being in the bottom 10 ballparks is insane. It’s a great stadium and it’s going nowhere for at least 30 years or so.

Truist Park is staying for the long haul! Good news for my Atlanta Braves!

Great American ballpark is safe the reds always get a home opener because the city loves them so much

I don’t know any of these corporate names.

I have not gone back and reread the story, so I am going by memory here. Anyway, it is my understanding that when the University of Kentucky built Kentucky Proud Park that it was designed and built with sustainability in mind. A large percentage of materials used were recycled materials. A large percentage of materials were sourced from within a certain radius. I believe that it was designed to minimize things like water use and electric power use. Etc. We should be discussing the same things about MLB stadiums. Keeping, renovating or replacing stadiums should be done with sustainability in mind. We don't hear anything about that in the above video. It is all about aesthetics, attendance, age, history, reputation, ownership situation, etc. After revenue and player and fan safety the deciding consideration should be sustainability. I say that any stadium that is in safe condition should be renovated or repurposed, not replaced, and the renovation should be done to make everything more ecologically friendly. For example, create more shaded areas and play more games during the day. If seating capacity is going to be reduced, while you are at it replace the remaining chair seats that are made of plastic or whatever it is with seats made from bamboo. Etc.

Skydome is safe. Where would they put another stadium?

I live in St. Louis, and I don't think Busch Stadium is as safe as you think. I wouldn't be shocked if they relocate to suburban St. Louis in 20 or so years. The stadium itself is fine, but St. Louis's population and wealth is moving west every day. The center of population and center of wealth in the metro area keeps moving west and west, and eventually it'll be so far west that fans stop going to games (anecdotally many already have). They might need their next stadium to be in St. Charles or Chesterfield.

Hey Depressed, why do think that 30 year old stadiums are outdated and should be demolished? Who's going to pay for them? Wrigley and Fenway are 100 years old, and they are my favorite parks to watch a game. They have their own personalities. I also liked Kaufman, with the fountain show in between innings. KEEP the older stadiums.

Just curious - why is Chase obsolete?

The sad thing about Guaranteed Rate (Comiskey 2) is that it was outdated a year after it opened. The "new" retro look of Camden Yards became the standard.

Hard for me to understand the love for Dodger Stadium and Chavez Latrine. The 2nd worst I have visited. Only Oakland is worse, and I’ve been to Tropicana.

Busch Stadium is horrid for one reason: the seats all face forward not angled towards the pitcher like almost all modern stadiums. We sat like 10 rows back beside the visitors dugout and if we sat looking forward in our seats we were looking at a space 10 feet behind the second base bag. The person in front of us had to sit literally sideways to not crook their neck to watch the pitcher. So many stadiums angled the seats BEFORE Busch was designed that this is just inexcusable.

American family field the brewers and the city just agreed to 27 more years in the stadium how is that a tweener?

T mobile just did a slight renovation behind home plate. It’s not going anywhere get your facts straight Trump

Miami isn't going anywhere. And Loan Depot Park isn't going anywhere.

Cool vid @Depressed Ginger! I know this has nothing to do with the vid, but a vid on March 11 2020 or the 13 would be cool. I feel like the 11 is when the sports world shutdown and 13 was when the real world shut down.

They need to stop buildings roofs. Destroys the vibe

Comerica Park opened in 2000

Delusional saying Nationals park is a tweener. It’s still new and it’s in a good area. Just say you don’t know anything about them.

Could you do a video on good ownership/bad ownership of every mlb team?

The Angels will be sold and likely stay in Anaheim there’s plenty of room to build a new stadium in the parking lot like they did with Shea Stadium. The Angels have a loyal fan base and it’s a great market.

It’s funny when you say teams are moving. Where will they go? Is there really a dire need for a team in Nashville or Portland?

if and when Progressive field gets replaced i have little to no trust that anything will be affordable and will be the only thing the Guards have spent legit money on just to charge Clevelanders more for the same product.

Prices in Tampa Bay is highway robbery 60 dollars 4 team going now where 25 for popcorn

Who wants to look at the word “depressed” while watching a video?

I don’t think Fenway can be demolished

i was like YEAH ROOFS! duh rain delays completely eliminated......notices open stadium seconds later ....no roof is way better

This guy is a clown! I’m a lifelong Angels fan and have been going to this stadium since it first opened! It is beautiful, the seats are comfortable, almost every seat has a great view, and concession stands and restrooms are easy to o get to! We do have an ownership problem but the team has a good blend of young and older players that might not get us to the playoffs but will be competitive! And knocking Trout who is a generational talent and I believe is a future Hall of Fame player is absurd! As I said this guy is a clown!

Don't eat Rob Manfred's stupid pills when it comes to the state of Miller Park...sorry, the Pabst Palace...oops, American Family Field. There isn't a bad seat in the house, the facilities were in good shape as of the last game I attended there (in the middle of last year), and the tailgating experience is still second to none. Mark Attanasio is a cheapskate owner a tier or two above abjectly awful people like John Fisher, John Angelos, and Bob Nutting, and I suspect he's asked Rob Manfred to declare the stadium to be obsolete because he wants a shiny new stadium with more luxury boxes, an even more team-friendly lease deal, and a nearby baseball district - and if that process ends with the team moving to California or Texas or somewhere else with more taxpayer money than they know what to do with, I'm sure that's quite fine by him. That would be the only reason the stadium might be at risk of no longer hosting MLB ball...a greedy owner upset at the poor local TV revenue situation, nothing inherently wrong with the facility itself.

Progressive Field has been completely ruined. Doing things like taking out the Terrace Club, and replacing the seats with blue seats are changes no one wants. They've ruined the upper deck and there's no coming back from it. Way too much standing room and bar rails. No one wants this garbage. Why are there attendance issues? No one wants the obscene amount of bar rails.

Would the Roman Coliseum have lasted as long as it has if it were built in today's world?

I laugh at most of the assertions of OBSOLETE you claim... I look differently at a stadium... it's obsolete for 1 of 2 reasons... 1. The field itself is unplayable... (see Astrodome)... 2. The stadium is unsafe for fans.... The Brewers park is showing some issues on this... but not as bad as MLB and the Brewers claim... I think MLB and the Teams are their own worst enemies... These Stadium Districts they want are actually killing them... why? They are trying to squeeze every last time from the fans nightly. Problem: They are not leaving the fans with enough money for 81 home dates.. leading to empty ball parks.. They want fans to consider the game an all-day event... for the NFL with 8/9 home dates/year and 1 game/week... that's great... for MLB.. 81 home date... The "event" gets seriously watered down by the end of April. Then, making the stadiums smaller... only gives the appearance of a sellout.. and the teams an excuse to raise ticket prices because they are fewer.. except... the more they tarp seats/take them out... more and more fans are staying home.. they are being priced out. I reckon that soon, Cities will start to see that MLB is it's owner worst enemy and stop building the baseball cathedrals... Baseball was at it's peak when most towns had their own teams and MLB was not a big draw on TV.. Well, cities will start to realize.. MLB needs them MORE than they need MLB.. and something tells me Oakland is going to become the first of many who realize this. And the bigger the city... the less the THREAT to move will phase them...
