I love going to baseball games for the exact reason Daz said it’s really hard to beat sitting back drinking some beers relaxing in the sun watching sports and baseball is the ultimate sport for that
Many stadiums do have "Dog Days" where you can bring your dog to the stadium. These tend to be events meant to attract a few more people to a less attractive matchup. They set up relief areas for the dogs and you do have to get them their own ticket. All stadiums are actually unique in size and field dimensions. While the size of the baseball diamond is regulated, the depth of the outfield can vary from stadium to stadium. They tend to have deeper left field walls than right field because most hitters are right-handed and will pull most of their deep balls to the left. So a deeper wall cuts down on home runs. This is also why teams pay so much to big strong left-handed power hitters because short right field walls mean that player will hit a lot of home runs and drive in even more. Center field walls can be quite deep, 400 feet or more. Years ago the center field walls at Yankee Stadium were so deep (490') the monuments were in the field of play (and people thought all of Ruth's HRs were cheap). Nowadays few CF walls are deeper than 410 feet with Comerica Park in Detroit being the deepest fence, at 420' in dead center field.
Glad PNC is #1, but I can't believe they didn't really show a view of the city from the stands. That's arguably the most beautiful part of the ballpark.
One of my best childhood memories is when my Dad randomly decided to take us on a 2 and a half hour car ride to a Reading Phillies game (Philadelphia Phillies AA team). I was born and raised in Philly and a lifelong fan just like he was, we were sitting down the third base line and he barehanded an absolutely cracked foul ball and handed it right to me. His hand must have been RINGING but I couldn't tell 😂. He passed in 2011 and some of the best memories we had together were all the Flyers, Phillies, Eagles , and Sixers games we went too. Love the channel guys !!!!
I'm a Brit living in San Francisco and am getting happy as we'll soon have the start of baseball season. Canoes hang out on the water at McCovey Cove and the sprint is on to scoop out any ball that lands in the water. Oracle Park is really a great stadium that is often used to have opera play there courtesy of the San Francisco Opera.
Dodger Stadium has a seating capacity of 56,000. In 2022, the Dodgers averaged 47,671 per 81 home games for a total paid attendance of 3,861,408. This is the largest seating capacity in MLB. Previously, many stadiums had seating capacities equal to or larger, but all the newer stadiums have less seats, but more luxury boxes and amenities for the fans.
you should go to Fenway Park, its one of the best game experiences on the planet, its just a whole different experience with the history, the look of the stadium, and the view of boston from inside. Fenway has its own personality
Also, want to add that the stadiums in NY, Yankee Stadium and Citi Field are both NEW stadiums, built relatively next to the old stadiums before they were finalized, and then the older stadiums knocked down. Both stadiums are 15 years old or younger. Also, a fun fact, the builder of Orioles park, their build was loved so much by fans because of its retro but modern build, the builder got contracts to build a bunch of stadiums, including the one in San Francisco, I believe the Met’s Citi Field, and several others.
I didn’t feel that this particular video really showed off the stadiums at all. A lot of the footage they showed was subpar as compared to the actual experience of being there. Fenway is a surreal experience - the news of the stadium opening was knocked off the front page of the newspapers by the news of the sinking of the Titanic. That’s the kind of history you feel when you’re in the park. PNC is also spectacular - fair pick at #1.
Agreed. I just can't believe they didn't show a view of the city from inside PNC. I mean that view to a lot of people is the most beautiful part of the park.
Totally agree. PNC Park has that unbelievable view. I was there once and sat upstairs behind first base and spent half the game admiring river and the city behind it.
I’ve only been to a few MLB stadiums in the west but I highly recommend Coors Field in Denver, a very beautiful stadium. If you’re looking for a cheap baseball experience with good concessions, Chase Field in Arizona is a good one. If you want the classic big-market American baseball experience, catch a game at Dodger Stadium.
Target Field is a MUST SEE stadium! We have the most environmentally friendly stadium, in the country! Great food is everywhere inside, as well as so many restrooms, there is definitely privacy even with huge crowds. The Minneapolis skyline is a nice view while you're watching the game. The club recently rebranded themselves, giving an old time feel with modern graphic design.
San Diego has *the* best weather in the world. As a San Francisco Bay Area native, I don't mind admitting this. Also, Torrey Pines is a beautiful golf course and Del Mar is a beautiful track for horse racing.
As a 41 year resident of downtown San Francisco, I second your opinion but you have to be able to afford to live right near the ocean. Live 10 miles inland in that part of California and you are essentially in very hot desert.
@Onthebrink5 Claiming to have "the best" of anything is always subjective. I am an avowed climate wimp who wilts or freezes at the slightest hint of temperature extremes. My happy place is Santa Cruz, California where there are rarely more than a handful of days annually that are either too hot, or cold. No need for AC, and heaters lie dormant for most of the year. I get it about enjoying the change of seasons, it's the oppressive heat, whether dry or humid (with accompanying mosquitoes) followed by bone chilling cold for months on end I want no part of.
If a ball goes into the water in San Francisco, there are people out there with rowboats and kayaks who race to snag it. Some friends and I went to the stadium in Anaheim, there was (or is) a section with international beers, and we went up there to get some drinks, and they wouldn't let us go back the way we came up, we had to take a long detour around. It's SunTrust Park, not Truist Park. PNC Park has a beautiful view of downtown Pittsburgh.
At the San Francisco home games, you have people in kayaks and small boats in the cove waiting for balls to be hit into the bay. When they are, there is a mad dash to see who gets to it first. Office Blokes React did do at least one video on people being hit by baseballs. These people suffered serious injuries due to the speed and hardness of the balls.
Hey guys. Here are answers to some of your questions. Daz the Yankee home run record last year was by Aaron Judge. The guy who caught that ball was offered 3 million and he thought he could do better. It went to auction and sold for one and a half million. The water in San Francisco beyond right field has been named after a former player Willie McCovey. It is called McCovey Cove. The Toronta Blue Jays are an MLB team, and there used to be one called the Montreal Expos, but after the 2004 season the team moved to another city and is now in Washington DC. As for the Yankees, they are a very storied franchise, but their stadium is fairly new. Might be why it didn't make the list. Also most if not all the stadiums now have netting all the way to past the infield to protect the fans from line drives into the seats. Aiden was right about the video showing a pitcher with some kind of grease on his neck. He would put a bit on his fingers and then the ball. In the old days pitchers used to throw a spitball. They would load it up with saliva and tobacco juice and the weight would throw the balance off and cause the ball to do all sorts of weird curves and dips. Catchers used to help their pitchers by scuffing the ball too. Same result as a spitter. Nowadays you see that after every pitch in the dirt they throw the ball out of play.
These are all good stadiums. I like Wrigley field in Chicago for it's atmosphere and history. Kaufman stadium in Kansas City is a beautiful stadium nobody talks about as well. Nice thing about MLB is that there are so many games it makes it much easier to get tickets to over an NFL game
Dale Owen I'm not a KC fan, but you are correct. Kauffman Stadium is absolutely beautiful. Everytime the Yankees play there I always love looking at the outfield. It does not get enough credit.
San Diegan here. Had to make sure Petco was on the list. We would love to Have You visit. You will not be disappointed. Best weather on this here planet
Target Field is located next to the hub of the twin city transit rail lines. One of these lines goes past Us Bank (Vikings) then University of Minnesota then past Allianz field (united fc) and ends at CHS field (St Paul Saints) a minor league affiliate of the Twins. Some times the schedule for the Saints and Twins will allow for a rail double header.
I’m not sure about other teams, I’m sure there are more, but the Milwaukee Brewers do a night where you do get to bring your dogs to the game. It’s called bark at the park. The players and coaches also bring their dogs.
They use a new baseball if a pitched ball hits the dirt after it is pitched. They use 84 to 120 baseballs on average, every game. Also, only the infield is a measured area as well as the foul lines. The infield ("the diamond") is the same in every park. The outfield depth varies from park to park.
Yes, the Toronto Blue Jays play in Canada. There was a team in Montreal but they moved to the Washington, DC area and became the Washington Nationals. If I'm not mistaken the stadiums are usually 30-40 some odd thousand. I never heard of MLB stadium that is the same size of NFL stadium, let alone a college football stadium. But to be fair, the teams don't mind because the baseball stadiums hosts way more games per season.
Turns out, baseballs float which is why a fleet of boats await them at Oracle Park. Pittsburgh is a small city but a really nice one. I think you’d really enjoy a trip there. Many people think of it as part of the “rust belt” because it used to be a huge steel mill town but it also has Carnegie-Mellon University which has kept it economically viable with leading edge technology.
Ive never been asked for my ticket after gaining entry to a stadium. Half the time i throw it away. If u sneak in, you're in. 17:40 i live in Pittsburgh and been to PNC park a million times. There IS A DOG NIGHT!!! idk about other cities or other sports but PNC does do a dog night
Most teams do have several bring your dogs nights throughout the year to answer that question. They are called Bark at the Park nights....I've been to PNC park and it's very nice, the hotel next door, stay the night, and walk to the field, after game there is music on the streets, food, and 3 rivers come together outside the stadium. I've also been to Cincinnati Reds games many times down on the Ohio River, as well as been to a game in Kansas City to see the Royals. Not only do we have MLB but we have many levels of pro ball called minor leagues from low A, A, AA, AAA, and some other independent leagues so you can catch some level of pro baseball in many cities.
I live in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles and I’ve been to Dodger Stadium many times. I’ve also been to Angel Stadium, Petco Park, Wrigley Field, what was formerly Miller Park, New Yankee Stadium, Citi Field, Tropicana Field, Marlins Park and the Marlins’ old stadium.
Born and raised in San Diego. Aiden would love it. Downtown San Diego is great with bars, restaurants, but mostly gorgeous fine young women that would love English dudes. Aiden, you don't know !
been to games at oracle and camden both awesome stadiums and experiences. actually went to camden when it was cal ripkens final home game. and yes truist park is the Atlanta braves stadium
The thing with mlb stadiums is the dimensions of the out fields can vary from park to park so another words whether a ball stays in play or not is variable depending on the ball park you are in.
“They all look the same” because since the success of Camden Yards, the architecture firm that designed it has designed most of the parks built afterward.
Ok, I may be biased, since I am born and raised in New York City, so I LOVE Yankee Stadium and Citi Field (NY Mets home). But I got to live in San Francisco for 7 years, from 1999-2006, and I’ve got to say, I think Oracle Park is nicest baseball stadium in baseball. Once again, bias might be involved since San Francisco is my favorite city (even more than NYC) BUT, it truly is a beautiful stadium, with incredible Bay views, and those great garlic fries ! It’s such a great experience watching a game at Oracle Park.
Camden Yards is lovely and they have great food too! I'm not the biggest baseball fan, but I've always enjoyed going to an O's game at Camden. O-R-I-O-L-E-S!
I’m a native of Pittsburgh and have been to several games at PNC over the years. I have been to others, as well. I may sound bias, but PNC is, by far, the best ball park I’ve been to. Pittsburgh also has the Strip District, the Inclines, Fort Pitt, and the Heinz History Museum, among other things. The best way to enter the city is from the south coming out of the Fort Pitt Tunnel.
There's one Canadian team (Toronto Blue Jays.) There used to be a Montreal team as well (the Expos.) The Twin Cities are Minneapolis and St. Paul. And yep, the Atlanta team is my team, the Braves! 2021 World Champs! Truist Park is only a few years old and it's pretty cracked. They built a whole complex around it with hotels, restaurants, business parks etc all built in. BTW, sometimes they allow dogs at the park. For example, the Braves traditionally have a "Bark at the Park" day where people bring their dogs.
I’ve been to four of these stadiums. Truist in Atlanta, Camden Yards in Baltimore, Dodger stadium and PNC Park in Pgh. All beautiful stadiums but PNC Park is something special.
No need for large capacity stadiums Since MLB teams play 162 regular season games. Usually less seating in the outfield area because they are less desirable.
i've sat a few times behind home plate on the bottom level directly under the second level and when they foul the ball back and it hits the concrete of the second level above you it sounds like a gun going off. it's very loud and scares the crap out of you if you aren't paying attention.
Stadiums built in the 60s and 70s were built with in mind to house multiple sports like baseball and football, however in 1993, Camden yards in Baltimore was completed changed all this when they created a baseball stadium that catered to baseball fans and experience.
MLB stadiums are very different from each other in many ways. The most common way they are different is their outfield dimensions. Some stadiums have longer or shorter outfields. Making them either good for pitchers or good for hitters. Meaning it's harder to hit a home run in some baseball parks than others. Every stadium in baseball has its quirks. For example, in Fenway Park they have this high wall in left field called "The Green Monster" which is about 37ft tall. You have to hit the ball over the "The Green Monster" for it to be considered a home run. As a right fielder you have to know how to field the ball off "The Green Monster" when a ball hits it but doesn’t go over it. The Arizona Diamond Backs stadium has a swimming pool past the outfield where fans can swim and watch the game. In the Toronto Blue jay’s stadium they have a hotel inside. Many stadiums have other quirky things like this. It’s what makes baseball stadiums charming and unique.
they easily use dozens of balls in every game Rogers centre in Toronto formally known as Skydome is undergoing a massive renovation currently. The renderings looks really cool it’ll be interesting to see
Btw what Adien said…. I know I screwed up the spelling. If you’re at an MLB game and the foul ball lands in you’re beer. It’s a well known rule that you have to chug that beer and if you can give the ball to a kid. You’ll be the champ for the rest of the day
Pittsburgh has MLB, NFL, and NHL teams. There's a lot to do there, and you could easily spend a three- or four-day weekend. It's not New York or Vegas, but it can be a lot of fun, and it has a personality all it's own
This video was more so Historical than "best" I believe. I'm not really a big baseball fan but i'm surprised the Texas rangers park didn't make it. I thought it was a very nice modern stadium.
Also there's pecial nights to bring your dog, but you can't bring them to every game. Like I brought my dog to a Mets game and they let us have a dog parade around the outside of the field. But that's only once or twice a season.
Nice channel guys..... Most mlb stadiums have a few nights a season designated "Bring your dog to the game" night. Im from pittsburgh and yes, there is things to do for all likes. They have great museums and are also known for the food....foodies love it. Ive been in southwest florida for awhile but will always go back home for visits. Id recommend visiting in the mid-summer and doing a pirate game or two. Its a hidden gem
If you lads want to see an MLB game in the near future, come out to LA when the Yankees are in town. 2 biggest markets, most historical teams in the league, and they haven't played each other since 2019. The atmosphere will be like no other.
The Red Sox and Yankees are the most historic teams in the league. Just stop with this crap. There are Americans in the comment section, and what you’re saying is f*cking ridiculous.
@TheGalwayjoyce that East coast bias is showing lmao. The Dodgers are literally older than both of those franchises 😂😂 the Yankees and Dodgers have met in World Series 11 times, most between any 2 teams. The Dodgers have the most Pennants in the NL at 24, and 2nd all time to the Yankees 40 AL Pennants... so stfu because I don't speak wrong 🤣😂 gtfo w your ReDSoX 🤣🤣🤣 go cry
Thank God neither New York stadium made the list. They're always highly ranked but they are dogshit. Citizens Bank Park, home of the Phillies, should have made this list over the Braves' stadium.
You blokes have seen a hodgepodge of NFL stadiums (incl. the best one, SoFi). While the videos included MBenz in Atlanta and AT&T in Dallas, they excluded other gems like Allegiant in Vegas, Lucas Oil in Indianapolis & US Bank in Minnesota. YT channel Wide World of Stadiums has a good NFL video (esp. the longer version).
They have designated days for dogs in the stadiums. I would definitely have included Yankee Stadium on this list. Also, Philadelphia and Houston. Check out MLB loudest crowds on TH-cam. Several videos. I think you will be surprised at the level of noise and excitement.
The current Yankee Stadium opened in 2009, and is different from the original Yankee Stadium. So it doesn't have the historical significance of the original "House that Ruth Built." Oh, and a pitcher having a foreign substance on his neck would be cheating by using it on the ball. A pitcher can make the baseball curve in erratic ways by putting grease or other substances on the ball. Back in the early days of the game it was legal, so numerous pitchers threw "spitballs" until they were outlawed. Scuffing or cutting the surface of the ball can also affect the way it curves, and pitchers have been caught with sandpaper on the mound. Occasionally the catcher will help the pitcher cheat by cutting the surface of the ball on the buckles of his shin guards.
the playing field of an mlb stadium is a bit bigger than an american or european football field. most of the action is centered around the infield so that's where the seating is focused. the farthest end (centerfield) usually has next to no seating.
Weird thing was he didn't even mention what makes PNC Park usually voted number 1. It's the view from the seats you get a view of the Roberto Clemente Bridge, Allegheny River, & the City.
I was a tad disappointed with how much time the guy spent on Fenway Park. Never even mentioned The Green Wall. There are so many places around the park where you can get some of the best Food Truck Delights. Especially after a few beers at the game.
When I was young the home team was required to have a minimum of 60 baseballs prior the start of the game. Any ball that goes into the stands belongs to whoever catches it. The axiom 'Keep you eyes on the Ball" pertains to the spectators as much as it does to the players. Failure to do so may be significantly painful.
aaron judge's ball sold for $1.5M at auction i believe. even though almost right after the game there was an offer for somethin like 3 which was turned down.
I am biased but I’ve been to most of the stadiums, I think Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia is the best atmosphere, has great food, and the pregame tailgates in the parking lots are a fun time. PNC Park is nice but I wouldn’t put it number 1
They aren't all the same. Playing Field widths and lengths do vary. But from a distance it won't be obvious. For the player though there are hitter's parks and pitcher's parks which favor on over the other.
They didn't mention one of the coolest things about Wrigley field Beyond left field and just across the street is a multi-story house where the owners have build stands on the roof and charge people to sit there and watch the games in Wrigley
There are Pets. Emotional Support animals. And Service Animals. Only Service Animals granted access to most places. These specially trained animals serve those with disabilities to get around. That stated. A minor league park is more likely to have less restrictions. Or have a day dedicated to bring a pet along.
Average life of a major league baseball is about 7 pitches....They go through many dozens of baseball a game :) I've been to all of these parks. San Diego is my hometown so a lot of games at Petco Park even though I'm an Angels fan
Am I the only one to notice that Dodger Stadium is both #8 and # 2 in this video? I think Aidan may have picked up on it for a moment before Daz talked him out of it.
Funny you should mention taking your dog to the ballgame. At PNC Park this upcoming season there are no less than 13 "Pup Nights" although they are restricted to one specified section of the stadium. You'll have to sign a waiver when you enter the park as well. The view of Downtown Pittsburgh is second to none. There are no bad seats at PNC.
I’ve only been to 9 stadiums so far(I plan on seeing the other 21). I’ve been to all 5 in California, both the New York ones, Wrigley Field(Chicago)and Chase Field(Arizona). So far my favorite is Yankee Stadium and Angel Stadium(cause Angels are my favorite team lol) I just know once I goto Fenway Park this year it’ll be in my top 3 haha
yeah dodger stadium is one of the biggest stadiums if not the biggest in terms of seating capacity. i believe it is also why they always lead the league in attendance almost every year. i dont know why they left that out.
I love going to baseball games for the exact reason Daz said it’s really hard to beat sitting back drinking some beers relaxing in the sun watching sports and baseball is the ultimate sport for that
Many stadiums do have "Dog Days" where you can bring your dog to the stadium. These tend to be events meant to attract a few more people to a less attractive matchup.

Glad PNC is #1, but I can't believe they didn't really show a view of the city from the stands. That's arguably the most beautiful part of the ballpark.
I was thinking the same thing, they showed basically a single frame of it
There are signs inside the seating area that read, "BE ALERT! BALLS AND BATS HURT!" to remind people to pay attention to the game.
Comerica park in detroit is pretty underrated, really nice stadium with a cool outdoor bar inside the stadium
One of my best childhood memories is when my Dad randomly decided to take us on a 2 and a half hour car ride to a Reading Phillies game (Philadelphia Phillies AA team).
I was born and raised in Philly and a lifelong fan just like he was, we were sitting down the third base line and he barehanded an absolutely cracked foul ball and handed it right to me.
His hand must have been RINGING but I couldn't tell 😂.
He passed in 2011 and some of the best memories we had together were all the Flyers, Phillies, Eagles , and Sixers games we went too.
Love the channel guys !!!!
KC Royals have an event each season called “Bark in the Park” where you can bring your dog to a game. It’s very popular.
I'm a Brit living in San Francisco and am getting happy as we'll soon have the start of baseball season. Canoes hang out on the water at McCovey Cove and the sprint is on to scoop out any ball that lands in the water. Oracle Park is really a great stadium that is often used to have opera play there courtesy of the San Francisco Opera.
Dodger Stadium has a seating capacity of 56,000. In 2022, the Dodgers averaged 47,671 per 81 home games for a total paid attendance of 3,861,408. This is the largest seating capacity in MLB. Previously, many stadiums had seating capacities equal to or larger, but all the newer stadiums have less seats, but more luxury boxes and amenities for the fans.
The city of LA also passed a law where Dodger Stadium can only have a maximum of 56,000 seats for almost all games.
you should go to Fenway Park, its one of the best game experiences on the planet, its just a whole different experience with the history, the look of the stadium, and the view of boston from inside. Fenway has its own personality

Can't wait for you two or the whole family reacting to mlb videos!!
If a ball goes into the water in San Francisco, there are people out there with rowboats and kayaks who race to snag it.
Some friends and I went to the stadium in Anaheim, there was (or is) a section with international beers, and we went up there to get some drinks, and they wouldn't let us go back the way we came up, we had to take a long detour around.
It's SunTrust Park, not Truist Park.
PNC Park has a beautiful view of downtown Pittsburgh.
yeah I remember seeing the row boats on TV. Camera has panned to them 👍
At the San Francisco home games, you have people in kayaks and small boats in the cove waiting for balls to be hit into the bay. When they are, there is a mad dash to see who gets to it first.
Office Blokes React did do at least one video on people being hit by baseballs. These people suffered serious injuries due to the speed and hardness of the balls.

I worked at Mr. McCovey's Restaurant in Walnut Creek Ca.
For the stadiums that back up water people like to hang around in boats to try and catch home runs
These are all good stadiums. I like Wrigley field in Chicago for it's atmosphere and history. Kaufman stadium in Kansas City is a beautiful stadium nobody talks about as well. Nice thing about MLB is that there are so many games it makes it much easier to get tickets to over an NFL game
Dale Owen I'm not a KC fan, but you are correct. Kauffman Stadium is absolutely beautiful. Everytime the Yankees play there I always love looking at the outfield. It does not get enough credit.
Camden Yards is my home park, and I love it. I am super lucky my team is in such a wonderful place.
Yep they have "Bring your dog to the stadium" day usually once or twice a year for most teams
More baseball reactions please! World Baseball Classic and MLB regular season starting up soon
San Diegan here. Had to make sure Petco was on the list. We would love to Have You visit. You will not be disappointed. Best weather on this here planet

Somebody is a fan of Minnesota
The infield has a required measurement but the outfield can be any dimension which makes every park unique.
Not so, right field and left field must be 300 feet minimum or approved by the commissioner if less.
I’m not sure about other teams, I’m sure there are more, but the Milwaukee Brewers do a night where you do get to bring your dogs to the game. It’s called bark at the park. The players and coaches also bring their dogs.
Some teams do have one or two "pups in the park" days each season, when people are invited to bring their dogs to the game.
They use a new baseball if a pitched ball hits the dirt after it is pitched. They use 84 to 120 baseballs on average, every game. Also, only the infield is a measured area as well as the foul lines. The infield ("the diamond") is the same in every park. The outfield depth varies from park to park.
Yes, the Toronto Blue Jays play in Canada. There was a team in Montreal but they moved to the Washington, DC area and became the Washington Nationals. If I'm not mistaken the stadiums are usually 30-40 some odd thousand. I never heard of MLB stadium that is the same size of NFL stadium, let alone a college football stadium. But to be fair, the teams don't mind because the baseball stadiums hosts way more games per season.
Turns out, baseballs float which is why a fleet of boats await them at Oracle Park.
Pittsburgh is a small city but a really nice one. I think you’d really enjoy a trip there. Many people think of it as part of the “rust belt” because it used to be a huge steel mill town but it also has Carnegie-Mellon University which has kept it economically viable with leading edge technology.
Ive never been asked for my ticket after gaining entry to a stadium. Half the time i throw it away. If u sneak in, you're in. 17:40 i live in Pittsburgh and been to PNC park a million times. There IS A DOG NIGHT!!! idk about other cities or other sports but PNC does do a dog night
Most teams do have several bring your dogs nights throughout the year to answer that question. They are called Bark at the Park nights....I've been to PNC park and it's very nice, the hotel next door, stay the night, and walk to the field, after game there is music on the streets, food, and 3 rivers come together outside the stadium. I've also been to Cincinnati Reds games many times down on the Ohio River, as well as been to a game in Kansas City to see the Royals. Not only do we have MLB but we have many levels of pro ball called minor leagues from low A, A, AA, AAA, and some other independent leagues so you can catch some level of pro baseball in many cities.
Also, this atmosphere is night after night, or day, not just once a week like football.
I live in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles and I’ve been to Dodger Stadium many times. I’ve also been to Angel Stadium, Petco Park, Wrigley Field, what was formerly Miller Park, New Yankee Stadium, Citi Field, Tropicana Field, Marlins Park and the Marlins’ old stadium.
Also, I forgot to say that I’ve been to Chase Field and Coors Field too.
Born and raised in San Diego. Aiden would love it. Downtown San Diego is great with bars, restaurants, but mostly gorgeous fine young women that would love English dudes. Aiden, you don't know !
been to games at oracle and camden both awesome stadiums and experiences. actually went to camden when it was cal ripkens final home game. and yes truist park is the Atlanta braves stadium
The thing with mlb stadiums is the dimensions of the out fields can vary from park to park so another words whether a ball stays in play or not is variable depending on the ball park you are in.
I live like 20 minutes away from Dodgers Stadium and it is legendary and loud I have been so much that when you hear a roar you know where it is
Daz, the Yankee stadium you went to no longer exists. There’s a new one now
You guys should watch best fan catches of all time. You might really enjoy that. Love your videos.
Aaron Judge's 62nd HR ball last year sold for $1.5 MM
Check out "What is the difference between pitches? And why are there so many" ?
Very well done video .
“They all look the same” because since the success of Camden Yards, the architecture firm that designed it has designed most of the parks built afterward.
Ok, I may be biased, since I am born and raised in New York City, so I LOVE Yankee Stadium and Citi Field (NY Mets home). But I got to live in San Francisco for 7 years, from 1999-2006, and I’ve got to say, I think Oracle Park is nicest baseball stadium in baseball. Once again, bias might be involved since San Francisco is my favorite city (even more than NYC) BUT, it truly is a beautiful stadium, with incredible Bay views, and those great garlic fries ! It’s such a great experience watching a game at Oracle Park.
Camden Yards is lovely and they have great food too! I'm not the biggest baseball fan, but I've always enjoyed going to an O's game at Camden. O-R-I-O-L-E-S!
I’m a native of Pittsburgh and have been to several games at PNC over the years. I have been to others, as well. I may sound bias, but PNC is, by far, the best ball park I’ve been to. Pittsburgh also has the Strip District, the Inclines, Fort Pitt, and the Heinz History Museum, among other things. The best way to enter the city is from the south coming out of the Fort Pitt Tunnel.
Dude, pops has more knowledge about American sports and stadiums than most Americans. Well done!
Dodger Stadium was #8 and #2.
I scrolled for ages looking for someone to comment about this good gosh smh lol Daz was right
Dodger Stadium is so great that it makes the top ten list twice!
There's one Canadian team (Toronto Blue Jays.) There used to be a Montreal team as well (the Expos.) The Twin Cities are Minneapolis and St. Paul. And yep, the Atlanta team is my team, the Braves! 2021 World Champs! Truist Park is only a few years old and it's pretty cracked. They built a whole complex around it with hotels, restaurants, business parks etc all built in. BTW, sometimes they allow dogs at the park. For example, the Braves traditionally have a "Bark at the Park" day where people bring their dogs.
I’ve been to four of these stadiums. Truist in Atlanta, Camden Yards in Baltimore, Dodger stadium and PNC Park in Pgh. All beautiful stadiums but PNC Park is something special.
Pnc park at night is gorgeous and they have random pup nights throughout the season to bring your dog
No need for large capacity stadiums Since MLB teams play 162 regular season games.
Usually less seating in the outfield area because they are less desirable.
I love Petco Park in San Diego I've been going there every year they recently added the holiday bowl
Some of the minor league baseball stadiums have special games where they allow dogs, like Bark in The Park
i've sat a few times behind home plate on the bottom level directly under the second level and when they foul the ball back and it hits the concrete of the second level above you it sounds like a gun going off. it's very loud and scares the crap out of you if you aren't paying attention.
There's a lot of great stadiums not covered, Yankees, Coors Field etc. I hope you guys check those out too!
Stadiums built in the 60s and 70s were built with in mind to house multiple sports like baseball and football, however in 1993, Camden yards in Baltimore was completed changed all this when they created a baseball stadium that catered to baseball fans and experience.
MLB stadiums are very different from each other in many ways. The most common way they are different is their outfield dimensions. Some stadiums have longer or shorter outfields. Making them either good for pitchers or good for hitters. Meaning it's harder to hit a home run in some baseball parks than others. Every stadium in baseball has its quirks. For example, in Fenway Park they have this high wall in left field called "The Green Monster" which is about 37ft tall. You have to hit the ball over the "The Green Monster" for it to be considered a home run. As a right fielder you have to know how to field the ball off "The Green Monster" when a ball hits it but doesn’t go over it. The Arizona Diamond Backs stadium has a swimming pool past the outfield where fans can swim and watch the game. In the Toronto Blue jay’s stadium they have a hotel inside. Many stadiums have other quirky things like this. It’s what makes baseball stadiums charming and unique.
they easily use dozens of balls in every game
Rogers centre in Toronto formally known as Skydome is undergoing a massive renovation currently.
The renderings looks really cool it’ll be interesting to see
Wish Minute Maid Park in Houston was on this list. They have a train inside the stadium that moves every time Houston hits a home run
The New York Mets have a "Bark at the Park" day each year when fans can bring their dogs to the stadium (called "City Field" by the way).
Btw what Adien said…. I know I screwed up the spelling. If you’re at an MLB game and the foul ball lands in you’re beer. It’s a well known rule that you have to chug that beer and if you can give the ball to a kid. You’ll be the champ for the rest of the day
Pittsburgh has MLB, NFL, and NHL teams. There's a lot to do there, and you could easily spend a three- or four-day weekend. It's not New York or Vegas, but it can be a lot of fun, and it has a personality all it's own
I think Dave and Mike would enjoy this video. This should be an Office Blokes one also
Dodger stadium is also called Chavez Ravine- family name of the original owner of the property.
Minneapolis and St. Paul are the twin cities both located in the state of Minnesota
Along with the Pirates, Steelers and Penguins, Pittsburgh does have a soccer team called the Riverhounds.
Retractable roofs are becoming a thing in baseball; surprised the creator didn't pick any of them.
This video was more so Historical than "best" I believe. I'm not really a big baseball fan but i'm surprised the Texas rangers park didn't make it. I thought it was a very nice modern stadium.
@@tyreek.6815 The new Rangers stadium looks far worse than the old one. It is much more comfortable with the air conditioning, though
Also there's pecial nights to bring your dog, but you can't bring them to every game. Like I brought my dog to a Mets game and they let us have a dog parade around the outside of the field. But that's only once or twice a season.
15:20 Didn’t he already say Dodger Stadium back at #8 ??? Lol
Wait a second… Aiden is not wrong. Dodger Stadium was featured at both number eight and number two.
So nice they mentioned it twice.
Nice channel guys..... Most mlb stadiums have a few nights a season designated "Bring your dog to the game" night. Im from pittsburgh and yes, there is things to do for all likes. They have great museums and are also known for the food....foodies love it. Ive been in southwest florida for awhile but will always go back home for visits. Id recommend visiting in the mid-summer and doing a pirate game or two. Its a hidden gem
If you lads want to see an MLB game in the near future, come out to LA when the Yankees are in town. 2 biggest markets, most historical teams in the league, and they haven't played each other since 2019. The atmosphere will be like no other.
The Red Sox and Yankees are the most historic teams in the league. Just stop with this crap. There are Americans in the comment section, and what you’re saying is f*cking ridiculous.
@TheGalwayjoyce that East coast bias is showing lmao. The Dodgers are literally older than both of those franchises 😂😂 the Yankees and Dodgers have met in World Series 11 times, most between any 2 teams. The Dodgers have the most Pennants in the NL at 24, and 2nd all time to the Yankees 40 AL Pennants... so stfu because I don't speak wrong 🤣😂 gtfo w your ReDSoX 🤣🤣🤣 go cry
Thank God neither New York stadium made the list. They're always highly ranked but they are dogshit. Citizens Bank Park, home of the Phillies, should have made this list over the Braves' stadium.
Some ballparks have a promotion once a season where you can bring your dog. "Bark in the Park"
CitiField of the New York Mets has a game every year when you can bring your dog. It's called Bark in the Park.
You blokes have seen a hodgepodge of NFL stadiums (incl. the best one, SoFi). While the videos included MBenz in Atlanta and AT&T in Dallas, they excluded other gems like Allegiant in Vegas, Lucas Oil in Indianapolis & US Bank in Minnesota. YT channel Wide World of Stadiums has a good NFL video (esp. the longer version).
They have designated days for dogs in the stadiums. I would definitely have included Yankee Stadium on this list. Also, Philadelphia and Houston. Check out MLB loudest crowds on TH-cam. Several videos. I think you will be surprised at the level of noise and excitement.
The current Yankee Stadium opened in 2009, and is different from the original Yankee Stadium. So it doesn't have the historical significance of the original "House that Ruth Built." Oh, and a pitcher having a foreign substance on his neck would be cheating by using it on the ball. A pitcher can make the baseball curve in erratic ways by putting grease or other substances on the ball. Back in the early days of the game it was legal, so numerous pitchers threw "spitballs" until they were outlawed. Scuffing or cutting the surface of the ball can also affect the way it curves, and pitchers have been caught with sandpaper on the mound. Occasionally the catcher will help the pitcher cheat by cutting the surface of the ball on the buckles of his shin guards.
if you ever come to san diego let me know , iam local and can tell you spots to visit or take you around
And btw, every field or "pitch" are different sizes based solely on the design of the outfield and distance of the outfield walls from home plate.
the playing field of an mlb stadium is a bit bigger than an american or european football field. most of the action is centered around the infield so that's where the seating is focused. the farthest end (centerfield) usually has next to no seating.
Daz, I think you should show some baseball videos to Aidan. He might learn to appreciate the sport.
Weird thing was he didn't even mention what makes PNC Park usually voted number 1. It's the view from the seats you get a view of the Roberto Clemente Bridge, Allegheny River, & the City.
I was a tad disappointed with how much time the guy spent on Fenway Park. Never even mentioned The Green Wall. There are so many places around the park where you can get some of the best Food Truck Delights. Especially after a few beers at the game.
When I was young the home team was required to have a minimum of 60 baseballs prior the start of the game. Any ball that goes into the stands belongs to whoever catches it. The axiom 'Keep you eyes on the Ball" pertains to the spectators as much as it does to the players. Failure to do so may be significantly painful.
Also you will see signs saying "No pepper" or "No pepper games" at parks to reduce the number of spectator getting hit by batted balls.
aaron judge's ball sold for $1.5M at auction i believe. even though almost right after the game there was an offer for somethin like 3 which was turned down.
You guys need to react to older ball parks like the Polo Grounds, some fun stadiums.
Nationals Park has bring your dog to the park days! I’m sure other parks do it to.
I am biased but I’ve been to most of the stadiums, I think Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia is the best atmosphere, has great food, and the pregame tailgates in the parking lots are a fun time. PNC Park is nice but I wouldn’t put it number 1
They aren't all the same. Playing Field widths and lengths do vary. But from a distance it won't be obvious. For the player though there are hitter's parks and pitcher's parks which favor on over the other.
They didn't mention one of the coolest things about Wrigley field Beyond left field and just across the street is a multi-story house where the owners have build stands on the roof and charge people to sit there and watch the games in Wrigley
Baseball is huge in Japan since WW II. I don’t know much about their stadiums though.
There are Pets. Emotional Support animals. And Service Animals.
Only Service Animals granted access to most places. These specially trained animals serve those with disabilities to get around.
That stated. A minor league park is more likely to have less restrictions. Or have a day dedicated to bring a pet along.
As a pirates fan I expected PNC Park to be towards the top but I also expected a cpl other stadiums to be uo there.
Average life of a major league baseball is about 7 pitches....They go through many dozens of baseball a game :) I've been to all of these parks. San Diego is my hometown so a lot of games at Petco Park even though I'm an Angels fan
Am I the only one to notice that Dodger Stadium is both #8 and # 2 in this video? I think Aidan may have picked up on it for a moment before Daz talked him out of it.
Funny you should mention taking your dog to the ballgame. At PNC Park this upcoming season there are no less than 13 "Pup Nights" although they are restricted to one specified section of the stadium. You'll have to sign a waiver when you enter the park as well. The view of Downtown Pittsburgh is second to none. There are no bad seats at PNC.
I agree about PNC. It is the best looking park in MLB. This coming from an Atlanta Braves fan.
I find Pup Night one of the dumbest things that teams do. Of course, that's just my opinion.
@@G.0. Oh well, to each his own. No harm no foul.
I’ve only been to 9 stadiums so far(I plan on seeing the other 21). I’ve been to all 5 in California, both the New York ones, Wrigley Field(Chicago)and Chase Field(Arizona). So far my favorite is Yankee Stadium and Angel Stadium(cause Angels are my favorite team lol) I just know once I goto Fenway Park this year it’ll be in my top 3 haha
yeah dodger stadium is one of the biggest stadiums if not the biggest in terms of seating capacity. i believe it is also why they always lead the league in attendance almost every year. i dont know why they left that out.
