18. LoanDepot Park – Miami Marlins

“Many critics of this park haven’t actually attended a game here. Located in Little Havana, its design and bright colors – and view of the skyline – make it a perfect fit in Miami.”

19. Progressive Field – Cleveland Guardians

“After the newness wore off this 1994 ballpark, renovations have become the order of the day, with the most impressive being food courts in right field. By 2025, even more improvements are planned, with the total price tag at $200 million.”

20. Yankee Stadium – New York Yankees

“The Yankees had the chance to create a ballpark for the ages, but instead built a facility that does little beyond honoring the team that plays in it. Not nearly as fun as the Mets’ park in Queens, it does offer the Yankees Museum (as if the whole stadium weren’t pretty much a Yankees Museum) and Monument Park.”

21. Rogers Centre – Toronto Blue Jays

“This stadium moved up my rankings due to the renovations undertaken in recent years. All told, $300 million has been spent on the ‘Outfield District,’ with new social spaces and lounges, reorienting seats and changing the outfield dimensions, making the place a lot less sterile.”

22. Globe Life Field – Texas Rangers

“Fans of the 2023 World Series champions love the intimate size, concession options and (especially) air conditioning compared to their previous home across the street. Fun fact: the AC can operate even when the retractable roof is open.”

23. Angel Stadium – Los Angeles Angels

“A ballpark that needs to be replaced, as (even with major renovations in 1998) it is showing its age.”

24. American Family Field – Milwaukee Brewers

“Perhaps this stadium’s best feature is what happens outside: the incredible number of people enjoying tailgating before Brewers games. Inside, the sausages and related concessions are the best in baseball.”

25. Nationals Park – Washington Nationals

“By no means a spectacular architectural achievement, its look fits perfectly in a city known for its monuments. The Presidents Race is one of baseball’s more endearing traditions.”

26. Great American Ball Park – Cincinnati Reds

“A middling entry in the retro-ballpark revolution. It’s nice that it sits on the banks of the Ohio River, providing a nice view from the upper deck, plus it features The Notch, an opening that allows fans walking toward the park from downtown to catch a glimpse of the interior.”

27. Chase Field – Arizona Diamondbacks

“The best things this park offers: among the lowest cost to attend a game of any MLB team; air conditioning; a swimming pool; and an exciting young team. Otherwise, the sightlines aren’t great, and there are way too many seats too far from the field. Better bet: go see the D-backs in March at Salt River Fields, the best of all spring-training facilities.”

28. Guaranteed Rate Field – Chicago White Sox

“Significant renovations in 2006 removed some of the sterile atmosphere here, thereby extending this stadium’s life, but there’s only so much that can be done. White Sox fans might be stuck with this for a while.”

29. Tropicana Field – Tampa Bay Rays

“The two most important things you can say about The Trop: at least the team has made an effort to make this sterile environment inviting; a solid plan may be in place to replace it.”

30. Oakland Coliseum – Oakland Athletics

“With the A’s committed to moving to Las Vegas, this rundown, wholly inadequate place will likely deteriorate even more. The fans deserve better.”
