My quest to visit every MLB baseball stadium is well underway, with each stop offering its own charm and fan culture. From Wrigley Field’s history to Oracle Park’s waterfront views, every ballpark tells a story. Completing the full list of MLB stadiums has become a personal adventure I can’t wait to finish.
Baseball stadiums are more than just venues for the game; they are iconic landmarks that tell the story of America’s love affair with baseball. From the oldest baseball stadiums still in use, like Fenway Park and Wrigley Field, to the newest additions to the MLB lineup, such as Globe Life Field, each MLB stadium has its own storied journey and charm.
Angel Stadium was my childhood ballpark, but everything changed when I went on a baseball stadium road trip with my oldest son. That adventure opened up a whole new world of passion for baseball. Visiting different stadiums and researching their history and features before each visit became part of the experience. Understanding the timeline of when these ballparks were built has added depth to my fan experience, making each visit even more meaningful.
