As someone who’s been to Fenway a bunch of times, there are lots of bad seats. There are tons of seats in right center that don’t face home plate. It’s very odd watching a game with your head turned to the side. Still love the stadium though.
We sat in box seats near the Pesky Pole. You would think there wouldn't be any obstructed view there. However, because of the angle, you couldn't see home plate if you had seats near the left aisle as people are constantly walking up and down to concessions and bathrooms. We never saw much of the game. I've never known this problem in any other park. This is in addition to sitting in a grandstand seat where the pole blocks your view of home plate. Otherwise it would be one of the best parks in baseball.
Very surprised that you did not mention the catwalks in Tropicana Field, as they can actually impact gameplay! Also, how could Petco Park in San Diego not be included in the list? The left field foul pole is the corner of a building!
I visited years ago when the Rockies were out of town. They let me walk around, sit, look at the mountains. Then I met the team seamstress, who made me a personalized jersey. Wonderful.
I feel like when the Rangers are good again it will be different. I went to a few of the games this weekend and it was pretty loud and the crowd was highly engaged
Tropicana's capacity is 42,735. However, they do not sell the upper decks for most games. They are sold for Opening Day, usually for Yankee games and for post season games.
I thought Tropicana Field was built to try and make sure no MLB team would want to come lol. Also I don’t get why teams like the Rangers or Marlins couldn’t think of a better retractable roof stadium when there are already a few who show how to do it right. Even though I wish they hadn’t removed the hill in CF the Houston Astros park is still a wonderful example of retractable roof stadiums done right. You can also include the Diamondbacks stadium which isn’t as good and has a few imperfections but still for the most part did a great job. You’ve also got the Mariners park which had a lot of Good ideas like the use of a open air stadium with a canopy roof which I’m surprised hasn’t been done more or again. The biggest problem with roofed stadiums is lighting. Something about them seem to make it harder for them to properly light the field. A game in most of these feels very dark. The Brewers stadium looks like it’s being lit with candles. I would have included the Blue Jays stadium in my list even though it was the very first stadium to do this it had gotten a bit rough looking and looked like it might be approaching it’s end but the remodel and changes they recently made worked wonders. The new outfield fence changes both in dimensions and in appearance was spot on and looks really cool.
It's funny as much as I dislike corporate names for a stadium I much prefer Rogers Centre to Skydome. Always just hated that name so much. Just always grated on me everytime I heard it and to this day hate the name Skydome.
Interesting take. I believe the name Skydome was motivated by the fact that it was the first baseball stadium with a retractable roof and I always appreciated the name for that reason. I get the corporate naming and the fact that Rogers owns the building etc. The name Rogers Centre makes it sound like a convention center or hockey / basketball arena to me which is another big reason I never warmed up to the name
Generally, people refer to "The NHL", "The NFL", etc. The AL and NL aren't really "leagues" anymore, so it's quite reasonable, although strange, to call it "The MLB". Many people still call World Wrestling Entertainment (formerly World Wrestling Federation) "The WWE".
The Astros stopped being cool when they removed the cool hill...oddly enough right in time for their 2017 season we all are familiar with. "It's a big injury concern" they said... and when did that ever happen tho?
Can you imagine if the Braves played at Coors Field? They would probably have 10 times as many 450ft+ HRs as the second place team instead of the paltry 4x lol. A not so soy toe way of pointing out the insane numbers they have put up this year. They have hit over 20 such hrs the second most is the Angels with like 6!!
@@davidwesley2525 It's just a matter of time. I really don't blame Oakland. It is a poor city. They have much bigger problems than baseball. The A's fans are not large in number, but they are extremely loyal. Giants fans are the white wines types. A's fans are beer types, and drinking from a paper bag.
Wow I'm from Boston home of Fenway Park oldest stadium in baseball sometimes I do wish we had a upgraded 🏟️ stadium sometimes I don't but that Colorado Rockies stadium is freaking beautiful absolutely beautiful I'm ever in Colorado that is a place I'm going to visit
Tropicana Field is great. Grew up going to games and lived 5 minutes from it. Parking is great and no rain delays. Cat walks are the only downside. Fun to pet sting rays though.

First please pin this I was here in 7 seconds
Liar
I went to chase for the first time this past week for the wbc and it felt like a mix between an airplane hanger and a Costco
Dope video, would love a top 10 on the oldschool retired stadiums too!

So what?
This is so niche and i really appreciate these videos. They are so entertaining for me. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK SIR
Another interesting and entertaining video.
Can you do a video on the best/craziest high school hockey arenas? Love the videos bro
Coors field is so beautiful
I visited years ago when the Rockies were out of town. They let me walk around, sit, look at the mountains. Then I met the team seamstress, who made me a personalized jersey. Wonderful.
I'm a Rockies fan so I get to go to coors a lot which is cool but it's sad it never sees the playoffs 😢
Love the fact you used the Syracuse Crunch indoor game at the Carrier Dome at 3:48.
That wasn't the Carrier Dome
@@SlyFirebirdThat was indeed a Crunch game at the Carrier Dome.
Chase filed is dope af. I always wanted to go
That Texas stadium is absolutely terrible. No baseball atmosphere at all.
It’s a cool stadium but it feels more a like football stadium. Their old stadium was definitely better it was one of my favorites in the league
Nah. Not “No baseball atmosphere at all.” Technically there is no baseball atmosphere. /
I wish it had more personality, but a/c is definitely needed in Texas summers.
I feel like when the Rangers are good again it will be different. I went to a few of the games this weekend and it was pretty loud and the crowd was highly engaged
@yoboibacon 16 Yeah it was 1of the best looking stadiums in baseball.
Tropicana field is actually only 24,000 seats. It’s actually smaller than the largest Minor League field in omaha which is 27,000
Tropicana's capacity is 42,735. However, they do not sell the upper decks for most games. They are sold for Opening Day, usually for Yankee games and for post season games.

3:47 Syracuse Crunch game at the Carrier Dome.
Fun video.
Check your map, though. Toronto is not across the border from Buffalo. You might be thinking of Niagara Falls.
I've been to Detroit. I think Windsor Ontario is south. Weird.
Rogers Centre also used to have NFL games there. Mainly for the Buffalo Bills
The Jays stadium will always be the Skydome. Can't wait to see the upcoming renovations there

I agree with you and think Rogers should have just called it Rogers Skydome.
Nice to see more energy in you videos Ike! Keep up the good work!
I personally think Toronto has a beautiful stadium, I absolutely hate and I mean HATE the Devil Rays stadium
Rogers Center is being significantly renovated at this time.
"the MLB" 😂

Yeah, 'The Major League Baseball' sounds weird.
Colorado, and Houston both has a beautiful stadium
The weirdest part of Minute Maid park was the sign stealing.

I was working by tropicales field
There's not a good seat in the house at Fenway
Ah, So What, Here?
Bro am I trippin or is this night time spooks
went to the world series
The called it home depot or a grill
How can you talk about weird stadiums and not talk about Am Fam and the only fan shaped retractable roof
So you say how coors is one of the weirdest in baseball yet explain how it's one of the best 😅😅
The Coliseum is a disgrace. The A's will move to Las Vegas, or possibly Sacramento.
Oakland Lost the Raiders to Las Vegas , Oakland Lost the Warriors to San Francisco , Oakland Deserves to Lose the A's as well.

The marlins stadium was so beautiful and unique whoever got rid of the fish tank and the rest of the things should get fired ,now it looks boring
1:21 Why does that seat even exost? 😅😅😅
