MLB Ballparks

The thirty ballparks

Visiting every Major League ballpark is the original stadium tour. Eighty-one home games a season, day games, cheap seats, and a pace that leaves room to actually look at the building make it the most doable of the big-league lists, and thousands of fans have completed it. There's even a standard route: start in the Northeast in April, chase good weather west, and finish at Dodger Stadium or Oracle Park in September.

Fenway Park (1912) and Wrigley Field (1914) are the two surviving pre-war parks, and they're the reason the tour exists — people who don't care about baseball go to Fenway. Dodger Stadium (1962) is the third-oldest and aging beautifully. Almost everything else dates from the retro-ballpark boom that Camden Yards started in 1992, which gave the league two decades of brick, steel, and downtown skylines: PNC Park in Pittsburgh is the consensus best of that wave, with Oracle Park's bay views a close second.

Keeping the list current

The league doesn't sit still. The Athletics left Oakland in 2025 and are playing in Sacramento while their Las Vegas park is built; the Rays have had stadium drama of their own. Codes on this map follow the team, not the building, so your tick survives a move — and the park name updates with each relocation and sponsor change. Click a ballpark badge or its pin to mark it visited, again for want-to-go. The NFL, NBA, and NHL maps round out the big four.

The parks worth planning around

A few ballparks change the trip. Fenway's Green Monster seats and the Wrigley rooftops are experiences rather than tickets. PNC Park's view of the Pittsburgh skyline across the Roberto Clemente Bridge is the best in baseball. Oracle Park's McCovey Cove has kayakers waiting for home runs. Camden Yards started the retro movement and is still one of its best examples. At the other end, Tropicana Field's dome and the Oakland Coliseum's concrete earned their reputations, and the tour is more honest for including them. Most finishers rank the parks afterwards; nobody agrees, which is the point.
