The best ballpark in Georgia is historic Grayson Stadium in Savannah. One of a handful of parks left where both Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron played, and now home of the Savannah Bananas.
I've been to RFK Stadium when the Nationals played there from 2005 to 2007, Memorial Stadium in Baltimore, Oriole Park at Camden Yards, Safeco Field, Cheney Stadium in Tacoma, Harry Grove Stadium in Frederick, and Prince Georges Stadium in Bowie
Best stadiums I've been to: MLB (been to all of them except the new one in Texas): Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles MiLB: Havent been to a ton but Cal Ripken Stadium in Aberdeen, MD is gorgeous. BTW, I've also been to the park in Pensacola, FL and that one is gorgeous also. College: Been to even less college parks but East Carolina Univ.'s stadium in Greenville, NC is very nice. I've also been to stadiums in Japan, Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic.
Been to 14 of the 30, I live in San Diego and yes, Petco park is a great stadium, best natural grass turf and playing surface, but have to look out the "backdoor" to see any water. Dodger, well, tradition. Angel, losing it's great past charm. Obviously, forget Oakland. Very sad. Oracle park has a cozy, yet a great scenic atmosphere. Will leave politics and current downtown conditions out of comments. Love Oracle Park.
Been to 29 of the current MLB parks (all but the new one in Texas), and a lot of the old ones, too. Dodger Stadium is my favorite. Beautiful park, nice view of Los Angeles, the only stadium I know of anywhere that has pretty flowers lining the walkways up to the stadium. Also plenty of free parking. The live organ adds a nice touch to cap off a great ballpark experience.
Nice video but the strip actually is not the backdrop of Las Vegas Ballpark. It's Red Rock Mountains and the Red Rock Casino also. The strip is a good 10+ miles away
Shout out to FNB Field/Riverside Stadium in Harrisburg, PA(home of the AA Senators). My team is the Seawolves but it is hard to compete with their field. The stadium is on City Island, an island in the Susquehanna River which is equal parts sports complex, amusement park, and public greenspace within walking distance of the state capital.
I've been to a lot of ballparks. Not nearly as many as you, probably, but I have to say I prefer Great American Ballpark in Ohio, despite it being cursed. And I'm a little more fond of Oracle over Petco, though those are the two best. Maybe its the giant Coca-Cola bottle in left and the kayaks camped out in the bay. Texas is tough but I was quite charmed by the Alpine Cowboy's nearly untouched since its construction in 1946- Kokernot Field. That place is a pilgrimage, though hard to call "The best". Perfect choice for Florida, though Steinbrenner Park is a fun replica of Yankee Stadium. Honorable mention for Pennsylvania: People's Natural Gas Field in Altoona. Roller coasters in the backdrop of Right Field and the mountains behind home plate where you can catch a glimpse of the Altoona Curve railroad portion for which the team is named. Great work, thanks for doing this! I've seen a couple of your videos now, and I will be subscribing!
Coastal Carolina's stadium should've been picked for South Carolina. The teal wall with the outfield boardwalk, the palm trees, and the berms down the lines make it one of the best ballpark experiences in all of college baseball.
My son was in recruitment there for football about 9 years ago and I was definitely impressed with the whole baseball facilities. I believe South Carolina's ballpark is better.
The unsung hero of Camden Yards is the width of all the concourses. Dodger Stadium and PNC Park are gorgeous but you always feel crushed by a wall of humanity.
Fun Fact my Mom grew up 2 blocks away from where the Field of Dreams was filmed in Dyersville, Iowa so I have been to the Field of Dreams plenty of times
I can see why Bama's stadium was picked. Good baseball in the state but no great facilities. I used to go to BayBears games at Hank Aaron Stadium, despite its namesake stadium was boring. Was more fun to make the drive to Pcola for their awesome park. And for Mississippi, I would have gone with Keesler Park, the backdrop ofer the wall is the Beau Rivage and the gulf.
When 99cents only store changed their logo & simply became "the 99 store", that really sent the whole thing spirling down to oblivion. This is why Ross Dress For Less will never even think of changing their logo. It's a psychological thing thats hard to explain.
Oakland Coliseum was not bad until they put up the monstrosity for football. It had nice views to the hills, ice plant and nice bleachers right behind CF. Same view as the center fielder !! Way too much foul territory but it was still pretty good. Now it is hideous! I haven’t been there in 15 years! I may go this year just for nostalgia’s sake!
I'm an Orioles fan. Never take in a game from the 3rd deck in left. Once was enough for me. I could not see the warning track/wall (well before its current distance).
You forgot two great ballparks in the State of New Jersey. - Toronto Dominion Bank Group (TB Bank Ballpark) located in Bridgewater Township, Somerset County, New Jersey - Yogi Berra Stadium on the campus of Montclair State University, located in Little Falls Township, Passaic County, New Jersey. ⚾👌
There seems to be a bias here in favor of professional baseball. Kentucky Proud Park on the campus of the University of Kentucky has to be the best in KY, not the minor league ballpark in Louisville. The setting is great. Kind of a secluded feeling with the arboretum surrounding much of the facility. Brand new--only in its eighth season, or something like that. State of the art. Also, as I recall, it was designed with sustainability in mind and won some kind of award. A large percentage of the building materials used are recycled materials. A large percentage of them were sourced from within a 500-mile radius, or something like that. Easily the best place to see a ballgame in the Commonwealth, I'm sure. But I have never been to the Louisville minor league stadium, so I could be wrong.
ive been to wrigley, pnc, citi field, yankee stadium, and gaurenteed rate park, and i personally like yankee stadium more than citi field. i didnt really like citi field very much when i went, it just felt so dark and cavernous on a bright sunny day. and how they managed to make it feel cavernous and at the same time cramped ill never know lol. other states i wont speak on because i havent been to the ballparks but id put citi field on the back of my list
BYU's ballpark is super solid and a fun place to catch a game and eat maple bars until your stomach hurts. It's BYU though so I utilized my medical cannabis card and got high as fuck last time I went to a game there. My vote would still go for Smiths Ballpark where the Bees play.
new York should been staten island university hostipal ballpark home of staten island ferryhawk former staten island yankees with bectuful view of hudson river and nyc behind outfield
Mulcahy is not a good stadium but don't disagree it is the best one in Alaska. There are plans to rebuild it facing in a different direction and a better view of the Chugach Mountains. Most HS fields in the lower 48 are better than what the ABL plays on.
For the state of South Carolina, in my opinion. The University of South Carolina stadium should have been #1. As much as I hate to admit, being a Clemson fan but giving credit where credit is due
He’s not crazy, the current Durham Athletic Park doesn’t hold a candle to that beautiful park in Charlotte. DAC is just a bandbox stadium with the snorting bull on the left field wall, not the classic stadium of the movie

Coors Field is 5280 feet (1585 meters) above sea level. Denver is the MILE HIGH city (5280 feet)

No park has better views!! My seats above home plate in Section 314 were UNBEATABLE !!!
I was underwhelmed with Dodger Stadium. but Petco and Oracle were great.

Dunkin Park in Hartford, CT is an underrated, amazing Park!
Nice video but the strip actually is not the backdrop of Las Vegas Ballpark. It's Red Rock Mountains and the Red Rock Casino also. The strip is a good 10+ miles away
I can't believe you didn't pick Rickwood Field for Alabama. It's an old park built in 1910 and will host a MLB game next week.

South Carolina, Segra Park home of the Fireflies and Founders Park are both great Ballparks in SC
If they ever finish the construction on the bull st. district, it will definitely be the best minor league stadium but founders park reigns supreme
I couldn't think of the name of the Gamecocks baseball stadium
But yes a beautiful park indeed
Great video as always. You deserve more subscribers.

No territories?
Puerto Rico- Hiram bithorn
Guam paseo stadium
Northern Maria islands Oleai sports complex
Virgin Islands Lionel Roberts field
I like you, man
I probably would have picked one of the Double A parks in Alabama, but I will mention Rickwood Field since it’s the oldest in the country.
The unsung hero of Camden Yards is the width of all the concourses. Dodger Stadium and PNC Park are gorgeous but you always feel crushed by a wall of humanity.
I miss old Civic Stadium in Eugene, OR. Nice Summer nights with the hills over the outfield. God's Country!
Fun Fact my Mom grew up 2 blocks away from where the Field of Dreams was filmed in Dyersville, Iowa so I have been to the Field of Dreams plenty of times
If you’re coming from across the Atlantic just watch the video in rewind 😂

Was more fun to make the drive to Pcola for their awesome park. And for Mississippi, I would have gone with Keesler Park, the backdrop ofer the wall is the Beau Rivage and the gulf.
Regions Field in Birmingham and Toyota Park in Huntsville are not great facilities?
When 99cents only store changed their logo & simply became "the 99 store", that really sent the whole thing spirling down to oblivion. This is why Ross Dress For Less will never even think of changing their logo. It's a psychological thing thats hard to explain.
I would've picked Flour Field in SC over the MB one. Even as a Phillies fan, I have to admit the Pirates have the best ballpark in the country.
In South Carolina I would say Memorial stadium in Clemson is the best
Oakland Coliseum was not bad until they put up the monstrosity for football. It had nice views to the hills, ice plant and nice bleachers right behind CF. Same view as the center fielder !! Way too much foul territory but it was still pretty good.
Now it is hideous! I haven’t been there in 15 years!
I may go this year just for nostalgia’s sake!
All they have to do is take away Mt. Davis! They have a perfectly nice stadium then!
I'm an Orioles fan.
Never take in a game from the 3rd deck in left.
Once was enough for me.
I could not see the warning track/wall (well before its current distance).
The Tincaps' stadium in Ft. Wayne is nice, but Victory Field in Indianapolis is clearly the best in Indiana.
One of the best parts of progressive field is the view of Downtown Cleveland behind the out field wall
It was at it's best when it was known as Jacobs Field.
You forgot two great ballparks in the State of New Jersey.
- Toronto Dominion Bank Group (TB Bank Ballpark) located in Bridgewater Township, Somerset County, New Jersey
- Yogi Berra Stadium on the campus of Montclair State University, located in Little Falls Township, Passaic County, New Jersey.
⚾👌
Best minor league ballpark in Texas is definitely Whataburger Field in Corpus Christi
There seems to be a bias here in favor of professional baseball.
Kentucky Proud Park on the campus of the University of Kentucky has to be the best in KY, not the minor league ballpark in Louisville.
The setting is great. Kind of a secluded feeling with the arboretum surrounding much of the facility.
Brand new--only in its eighth season, or something like that. State of the art.

Easily the best place to see a ballgame in the Commonwealth, I'm sure.
But I have never been to the Louisville minor league stadium, so I could be wrong.
56 stadiums, the territories need a little love here
Would love to see a video on Puerto Rican, USVI, and Pacific Island stadiums, especially since some of the territories have their own national teams
Best Ballpark in Alabama is definitely Rickwood Field
Kark Spackler pro groudskeeper picks The Joe.
Principal Park in Des Moines would be a great honorable mention. The view of the Iowa Capitol is enough to make it notable
ive been to wrigley, pnc, citi field, yankee stadium, and gaurenteed rate park, and i personally like yankee stadium more than citi field. i didnt really like citi field very much when i went, it just felt so dark and cavernous on a bright sunny day. and how they managed to make it feel cavernous and at the same time cramped ill never know lol. other states i wont speak on because i havent been to the ballparks but id put citi field on the back of my list

My vote would still go for Smiths Ballpark where the Bees play.
Personally my pick would be Lindquist Field in Ogden Home of the Ogden Raptors.
In Nebraska, I would choose Haymarket Park over Charles Schwab Field.
17:39 THATS RIGHT CLEVELAND INDIANS!!! WHOO WHOOO WHOOOO!! HAIL CHEIF WAHOO!
Best ballpark in Wisconsin is Athletic park in Merrill. Truly a place of historic value.
Best ballparks in SC are Founders Park and Segra Park
new York should been staten island university hostipal ballpark home of staten island ferryhawk former staten island yankees with bectuful view of hudson river and nyc behind outfield

DC isn't even a village much less a state
Hail State!
Glove life ain’t better lmao, it looks like a grill and has no train
For the state of South Carolina, in my opinion. The University of South Carolina stadium should have been #1. As much as I hate to admit, being a Clemson fan but giving credit where credit is due
You didn't pick Rickwood Field for Alabama. I RIOT
This man didn’t pick America’s Ballpark aka The Trop.
Louisiana doesn't have any pro teams, of course it's going to be alex box
How did Durham bulls athletic park not win NC this person is crazy
He’s not crazy, the current Durham Athletic Park doesn’t hold a candle to that beautiful park in Charlotte. DAC is just a bandbox stadium with the snorting bull on the left field wall, not the classic stadium of the movie
I'm 30 seconds in and I'll give the Red Cross $100 if the best IL stadium is guaranteed rate. That place is a garbage barge
