Best Baseball Stadiums in the US
From the scenic views of PNC Park to the sluggers paradise at Coors Field, here are Best Baseball Stadiums in the US !
Subscribe to American Eye
12. Miller Park
11. Citizen Bank Park
10. AT&T Park
Located literally on the edge of the San Francisco bay, spectators can soak up the stunning view if they end up with nosebleed seats. So really, anywhere you sit is going to be quite enjoyable. This stadium opened in 2011 to replace the decaying candlestick park. The stadium costed roughly 357 million dollars to construct and it seats about 41000 people. What’s crazy about this place, is that people actually wait around in canoes in the harbor, hoping to snag a home run ball! This is really the only place you can do that. Another iconic image in this place is the coca cola bottle and old fashioned glove, just over the left field wall. Due to its low elevation and often foggy conditions, it’s really been considered as a pitcher's ball parks, and pitchers from all over the league mark a game here on their calendar.
9. Coors Field
8. Kauffman Stadium
The Kansas City Royals won the world series in 2015 against the new york mets and since then, it’s been one heck of a ball park to visit. The Royal’s crown is placed on top of the big screen in center field next to color changing fountains. When the royals turned into a winning team, they noticed a huge spike upwards in attendance. This is actually the sixth oldest major league stadium but it underwent a 250 million dollar renovation making this place look just like new. And if you’re looking for mighty fine barbeque, this is certainly the place to go! Kansas City is renown for not only their barbecue sauce but their quality cooking at well. You believe you’ll be able to find some of the best barbecue in the entire country right here at Kauffman Stadium.
7. Target Field
6. Angels Stadium
Located right across the street from Disneyland, this is certainly a magical place to spend your time watching baseball. Being home to the young star Mike Trout, you certainly will get your money’s worth watching history being made. Home to the Anaheim Angels, you almost never have to worry about the game getting rained or there being a weather delay. The food and the ambience could use a little bit of a work but there certainly is that SoCal vibe. It’s famous for the Big A for this Giant sign displayed outside of the stadium. Entering the stadium you’ll also see these large caps in a well designed exterior. With Mike Trout pretty much untradable at this point, it may be his home stadium for quite a long period of time.
5. PNC Park
4. Busch Stadium
Located in the Metropolitan area of St. Louis Missouri, the new Busch Stadium ballpark has a maximum capacity of 46,000 people! You can also forget about those fancy IPA designer beers and grab some fresh beer brewed right in one of St. Louis’ famous breweries. This beautiful stadium sports a great view of an American monuments just past centerfield, with spectators being able to easily see the St. Louis Arch, while watching baseball.
3.Safeco Field
2. Wrigley Field
Wrigley Field is basically a museum where baseball games take place. It’s the 2nd oldest MLB ballpark which opened in 1914, over 100 years ago! This is located on the Northside of Chicago and is home to the Cubs. It’s unique, most obvious feature is its brick walls in the outfield, which are covered in Boston Ivy, which kind of spread out of control in 1937. It’s really the only thing that can cushion an outfielder’s collision with the walls. The scoreboard has also been around since 1937 and this is a park that’s known for it’s vintage style, so they may never change anything! The Chicago Cubs were believed to have had a curse placed on them for 71 years. A man with a billy goat was asked to leave a game because of the odor during a game of the world series against the tigers in 1945. Unhappy with being told to leave, the cubs lost the world series that year and wouldn’t make it back until 2016 when the finally broke the curse! And don’t forget to try their hot dogs!
1.Fenway Park
And the oldest, possibly the most unique baseball stadium out there is certainly Fenway Park, home to the Boston Red Sox! This stadium was built in 1912 and hasn’t changed a whole ot since! It’s most notable feature is the Green Monster out in left field. No one’s gonna be able to rob any homeruns over this fence because it rises 37 feet in the sky. This photo here was taken in 1996 of the green monster, before additional seats were added at the top in 2005. It used to be covered with advertisements like you can tell from this photo taken in 1914 with the crowd sitting below! Despite the stadium evolving a tad throughout the years, it still displays that vintage style unique here in the united States. Red Sox hadn’t won too many banners to hang up here but finally in 2004, they broke a drought lasting longer than 80 years against the St Louis Cardinals!

Anyway… back to the cities…
Reno, Nevada
Often referred to as Las Vegas’ poorer cousin, the “biggest little city in the world” suffers some significant issues when it comes to violent crime and unemployment. With a populous of 227,509, despite the luck, lights, and glamour promised to gambling tourists, Reno residents have suffered drops in housing prices, drastic cuts in public services, and layoffs. However, despite the setbacks, Reno is attempting to reinvent itself with revitalization projects like The River Walk, a water and sculpture path built in the middle of this once, seedy run-down city center.
St Louis, Missouri
This Midwestern city has one of the highest homicide rates of American cities, with the risk of becoming a victim of a violent crime at approximately 1 in 53 and a property crime 1 in 10. The high crime rate is most blamed on the shrinking economy with many of the 318,069 long-time residents leaving the city for greener pastures. This obviously impacted economically on the city too. However, what’s often overlooked is the revitalization that’s occurring over the past decade in efforts to revitalize historic neighborhoods throughout St. Louis which is attracting new investment.
Cleveland, Ohio
It’s true that Cleveland is plagued by high crime, brutally frigid and unpredictable winters, and a mass exodus of residents that has equaled 71,000 migrating out of the city over the past 5 years. However, one can’t overlook that despite being one of the poorest cities in the U.S. as it shifts from a rust belt city, Cleveland is culturally diverse as a rap/hip hop Mecca. It also boasts some stellar cultural attractions—including the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Cleveland Orchestra, Progressive Field and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!
New Haven, Connecticut
New Haven is best known for being home to Yale University. However, the surrounding area suffers from a dark reality, and one of the highest crime rates on the East Coast. Crime rates are staggering making it the most dangerous city in America. And constantly growing unemployment rates only exacerbate the problem. Crime is so bad that The New Haven Police Department is considering adding cameras at every intersection in one particular neighborhood where shootings are the most common.
Detroit, Michigan
Detroit probably has the worst reputation of any American city, and many tourists steer clear from the once formidable “Motor City” due to rumor of high crime rates and abandoned downtown buildings. Once celebrated around the world as the center of the American automobile industry, Detroit experienced an influx of poverty, crime, and exodus of city residents from 2008 to 2010. However, the Detroit of today is experiencing a million dollar revitalization, with abandoned buildings undergoing commercial real estate developments breathing new life into the area.

Medieval America 27: Six States from St Louis to Fargo
In this episode of my trip around America I continue my journey north in the center of the country. I traveled into six new states, and cover 1250 miles in the course of eight days traveling ever north from St. Louis Missouri all the way to Fargo North Dakota.
We stop at several castles and a major museum.
With this video and the previous video (episode 26) I went from the New Orleans at the south of America all the way north to Fargo North Dakota bifurcating the country. There was a big swing in temperate and a constant uphill climb. I also noticed now in this video that the terrain is changing there is a lot more open space with enormous open fields and gentle rolling hills, with much fewer trees. It is clear we are heading toward the prairie states.

Then West on Route 18 across part of Iowa which is one of the most beautiful drives I have taken. all the way to Mason city Iowa. A little over 200 miles.
Then North into Minnesota for Minneapolis, St Paul and St cloud for four castles:
The Landmark Center in St Paul- Completed in 1902 it is also in the Romanesque Revival style but notice how different it looks because of the different stone compared to the Red Gym, (This building is pink granite ashlar) It was initially used as the State post office, courthouse and customs house.
The American Swedish Institute (The Swan Turnblad Mansion) It is built in Chateauesque style which is a revival style architecture based onFrench Renaissance Architecture. IT was completed in 1910 and is made of Bedford Limestone. It is also known as the swedish castle.
The Stanford Newel House in St. Paul It The core of the building was built in 1864 by a man named Lasher during the Civil War using locally quarried limestone. It was purchased in 1886 by Stanford Newel and upgraded with the tower and battlements added.
The UMinn NROTC Building - in Minneapolis, it is the University of Minnesota Armory. It was constructed in 1896. It originally served as the University Armory and Gymnasium. Over the years it has served various purposes and now is the home of the University Naval ROTC and gymnasium.
Fergus Falls Minnesota for the Kirkbride Building also known as the Fergus Falls State Mental Health Hospital . It is purported to be haunted. Construction was completed in 1907.
Ending in Fargo North Dakota and Unicorn Park.
Next up I will be traveling west and covering some of the Prairie States.

The monument honors Thomas Jefferson's Louisiana Purchase and St. Louis' role in westward expansion of the US.
It's often called the gateway to the west.

Eugene Field - The Divine Lullaby
Eugene Field, Sr. (September 2, 1850 – November 4, 1895) was an American writer, best known for his children's poetry and humorous essays. Field was born in St. Louis, Missouri where today his boyhood home is open to the public as The Eugene Field House and St. Louis Toy Museum. After the death of his mother in 1856, he was raised by a cousin, Mary Field French, in Amherst, Massachusetts.
Field's father, attorney Roswell Martin Field, was famous for his representation of Dred Scott, the slave who sued for his freedom. Field filed the complaint in the Dred Scott v. Sandford case (sometimes referred to as the lawsuit that started the Civil War) on behalf of Scott in the federal court in St. Louis, Missouri, from whence it progressed to the U.S. Supreme Court.Field attended Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts. His father died when Eugene turned 19, and he subsequently dropped out of Williams after eight months.
He then went to Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois, but dropped out after a year, followed by the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri, where his brother Roswell was also attending. He tried acting, studied law with little success, and also wrote for the student newspaper. He then set off for a trip through Europe but returned to the United States six months later, penniless. Field then set to work as a journalist for the St. Joseph Gazette in Saint Joseph, Missouri, in 1875. That same year he married Julia Comstock, with whom he had eight children. For the rest of his life he arranged for all the money he earned to be sent to his wife, saying that he had no head for money himself.
