By Scott Trick
5. Dodger Stadium – Los Angeles Dodgers
The Los Angeles Dodgers play their home games at Dodger Stadium, which is in the Elysian Park district of Los Angeles. The stadium serves as the team’s primary venue for Major League Baseball.
It is the oldest ballpark in Major League Baseball located west of the Mississippi River. The fact that Dodger Stadium is the world’s largest baseball stadium in terms of the number of fans it can accommodate makes it such an exciting venue.
Dodger Stadium often referred to as “Blue Heaven on Earth,” a nickname that Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda coined due to the breathtaking vista and breathtaking attractions that can be found there.
4. Wrigley Field – Chicago Cubs
Wrigley Field, which opened its gates in 1914, is well-known for its unique traditions and endearing character. It was Nicknamed “The Friendly Confines” by Hall of Famer Ernie Banks. Since more than a century ago, it has been the cherished home of the Chicago Cubs baseball team.
Wrigley Field is famous for many things, including its ivy-covered brick outfield wall and the unconventional wind patterns from Lake Michigan. An iconic red marquee hangs over the entrance gate with a hand-turned leaderboard. The location of Wrigley Field is in a predominantly residential neighborhood with few parking lots and views from the rooftops behind the outfield. Did you know that Wrigley Field was the last Major League Park to have lights installed for night games in 1988?
However, the improvements to Wrigley Field were not without criticism, but the Cubs did an excellent job of maintaining the traditional atmosphere of Wrigley while embracing the much-needed modern additions.
3. PNC Park – Pittsburgh Pirates
PNC Park is a baseball stadium that opened in the spring of 2001 and is designed in the form of a classic ballpark. This ballpark celebrates the progressive nature of Pittsburgh while also paying homage to the pioneering spirit of early ballparks.
The stadium was created exceptionally well and features one of the most scenic backdrops in a gorgeous setting. An exciting and dramatic urban sports facility is created due to its excellent location along the shore of the Allegheny River, which takes advantage of stunning panoramas of the downtown skyline and riverside.
You will witness a fantastic MLB game directly above the Pittsburgh skyline, and the amenities here are also relatively spectacular.
2. Oracle Park – San Francisco Giants
Attending a game at Oracle Park is an experience like no other, and there is a solid argument that no other stadium makes better use of its magnificent surroundings. As a result of its spectacular panoramas and timeless design, Oracle Park was selected 2008 Sports Facility of the Year by Sports Business Journal and Sports Business Daily as part of the inaugural Sports Business Awards program.
The ballpark the Giants call home is the first in Major League Baseball to be privately financed since 1962. It also has a wide variety of impressive amenities. There is an inspiring nine-foot statue of Willie Mays, the most significant American ballplayer. You will find an 80-foot Coca-Cola bottle with playground slides as well. There is a miniature Oracle Park behind left field that has become an attraction for kids of all ages. Mass public transit nearby rivals what is available to any sports complex in the world.
Additionally, it’s unique and breathtakingly gorgeous.
