The MLB Stadiums I Want to Visit Next

This past Tuesday, I attended my first MLB game in nearly 15 years as my friend and I went to see the Mariners take on the New York Yankees in Seattle, where the Yankees won 5-0.

After going to that game, and after following baseball a bit more over the past couple of years, I’ve started to think about which stadiums I want to visit in the MLB.

Baseball specifically stands out because the tickets are so cheap. I only paid about $45-50 to watch what are supposed to be two AL contenders go at it in a prime-time game. We even saw the TNT staff out there, and it was a pretty solid outing. Pre-game, we went right up near the bullpen to see Yankees pitcher Max Fried warm up before he utterly dominated the Mariners, pitching a 7-inning shutout, and got to see some iconic players like Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Cal Raleigh, and Julio Rodriguez.

It’s just the best bang for your buck in all sports right now.

Post-game, I started thinking about which stadiums I want to visit going forward.

So let’s start with the obvious ones: Yankee Stadium, Fenway Park, and Wrigley Field. Those are the musts. I went outside of Yankee Stadium this past month when I was in New York, but I didn’t attend a game there. And to be fair, I technically have attended a game at Fenway Park when I was about four years old, but I don’t remember anything about it.

We all know how iconic those three places are. Wrigley is super cool with it being right in a neighbourhood in Chicago, in Wrigleyville. Fenway, I’ve got to go see the Green Monster. It’s just an iconic venue, and I do plan on it. I believe my next trip will be Boston in 2027, and I kind of want to plan it out so I can take a train ride down to New York City again and go to a game in the Bronx.

But after those three iconic venues, which in my opinion are the three most iconic in the MLB, that said, here are some more baseball parks I've got to get out to.

First of all, it would have to be the Las Vegas stadium when the Athletics officially move there.

I just want to see what the atmosphere is going to be like on the Strip. I do have my concerns about the long-term future of baseball in Las Vegas, but I do plan on attending a game there once the A’s officially move in 2028.

Then going over to the NL West, Dodger Stadium is also nice, but it's not a "must-see" for me.

However, Oracle Park, home of the San Francisco Giants, is one I really want to go to.

It just looks so cool on television when a ball gets hit out of the stadium and falls into the water. I’ve got to get out there.

The next one I really want to check out is PNC Park in Pittsburgh.

I would need a reason to go to that city, but the skyline view just looks insane. I don’t mind sitting in the 300s. I’m not someone who really cares about where my seats are when I go to a stadium. I’m there to watch the game. I honestly don’t care that much about my view. I just want to say I’ve been to these places, and I’m all about value. So maybe getting to see Paul Skenes pitch in that stadium with that skyline view of Pittsburgh would be unreal.

And then lastly, the final place I would want to see, making this about my top seven stadiums, would be Busch Stadium in St. Louis.

Once again, I would need a reason to go there, but just seeing that skyline view stands out to me. If you couldn't tell, I’m all about the views. When I was at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, you’ve got a great view of the city. You could see Lumen Field just across the street, home of the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. I’ve also heard great things about Busch Stadium, how it’s one of the more underrated and iconic venues in the MLB.

So, this list isn't crazy or controversial, but it would be the list of places I want to go see a Major League Baseball game next.
