MLB Stadiums That No Longer Exist

- Baseball is a sport with a storied history, ranging not only from great players such as Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, and Mike Schmidt but also from the ballparks in which they played from. Many of those ballparks have unfortunately been abandoned and demolished, lost in the scrum for more modern amenities and ways to cram as many people into a ballpark as possible. That is not to say we cannot reminisce about the past though, right? After all, it is the history of baseball that has made it so compelling to watch and talk about. With that being said, here are ten of the best MLB stadiums that no longer exist today.

Damn dude, ever heard of Veterans Stadium home of the Philadelphia Phillies?
I wish Comisky Park, and Tiger stadium were still standing
Along with the Original Yankee Stadium.
I ll always remember these classic ballparks. Candlestick Park in San Francisco CA especially
I got to go there multiple Xs
@davidwesley2525 The "original Yankee Stadium" was torn down in 1973...you mourn a glorified cookie-cutter built on the Yankee Stadium grounds.
Me too! I had the honor of attending the final games at both parks!
I was lucky enough as a kid to go to a game at tigers stadium against the rangers. We won 4-2. It would be awesome if the illitches renovated the stadium instead of building comerica.
Rest in Peace Tiger Stadium
Miss the upper-deck bleachers (especially in centerfield.
Through Memorial Stadium in Baltimore, League Park in Cleveland & Tigers Stadium in Detroit aren't there anymore, they did get the field layout to stay fir high school play.
Cleveland did keep one of the buildings from League Park, though
I loved watching games on TV from Municipal Stadium in Cleveland and my favorite 2 stadiums on the video were Comiskey and Tiger Stadium !
I spent a lot of time at Shea Stadium over the years, from child days in the 1970's until it was torn down. While it was sad to see it go, it's time had come. Citi Field is a wonderful ballpark. I also saw games at all 3 iterations of Yankee Stadium, the original, the renovated, and the new one.
I never got to go into Shea but it looked like a nice stadium.
Why exactly did it have to go?
@@RB01.10 It was old. It opened in 1964. It was state of the art early on, but by the 2000's it's age was showing. It saw a lot of history from the Mets and the Jets as well as the concerts that were held there. The era of the stadium rock concert was born there when the Beatles played in 1965.
@@RB01.10old more trouble than it’s worth to renovate and wanted to downsize as the mets are the only tenants in the turn of the century
Went to Big Shea many times. Shea Magic!!!
Citi Field doesn't have the same vibe.
The “short porch” at old Yankee Stadium was in right field, not left.
Absolutely correct. Also, Yankee Stadium originally had a very deep left-center field (463 feet!) that was known as "Death Valley".
Old Yankee Stadium (circa 1946) was 301 to LF pole and 296 to RF pole. Both short. The biggest differences were the distances to the gaps.
You forgot about Milwaukee county stadium.
No Candlestick Park? Polo Grounds?
Candlestick has memories but was a dump!
@@gregpolisano3364 No Candlestick Park was not no dump. It was situated in a cold area because it was right by the bay
What the hell does cold weather have to do with a stadium being a dump or not?
@@jojovaldez2766candlestick was a fucking dump, in an awful part of town
Crosley Field in Cincinnati was the Reds home until Riverfront was built. Metropolitan Stadium was home to the Minnesota Twins until 1982 when they moved into the HHH Metrodome. It too was demolished. They have since played at Target Field. Candlestick Park in San Francisco was home to the Giants until they moved to their current park Oracle Park. The Astrodome (the first domed stadium) was home to the Houston Astros until they moved into Minute Maid Park. Milwaukee County Stadium, home of the Braves from 1953 until 1966 then the Brewers until ?. They now play at Miller Park. Atlanta Fulton County Stadium was home to the Braves until they moved into Turner Field and then their current home Truist Park. Memorial Stadium in Baltimore was the Orioles' home until the first of the throwback ballparks. They now play at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Toronto Blues Jays began playing in Exhibition Stadium until the move to Skydome (Rogers Centre). KC Municipal Stadium was home to the Athletics from 1955 until 1968 when they moved to Oakland. The replacement Royals now play at Kauffman Stadium. Not sure about San Diego. The Cleveland Indians (Guardians) played in Cleveland Municipal Stadium until moving into Progressive Field (Jacobs Field). Tore down? Griffith Stadium in Washington DC, home of the Senators until their move to Minnesota to become the Twins.
San Diego Padres played at Jack Murphy Stadium, later named Qualcomm Stadium, is now home to the SDSU Aztecs Snapdragon Stadium The San Diego Padres now play at Petco Park
Imagine putting in the effort to make this video and not spending 20 seconds to look up how to properly pronounce Shibe.
That’s what I thought.
Imagine caring that much
@@blockTay fr bro
chill dude it’s just a CZcams video lol
SHIBE...NOT SHEEBE....you got it.
If you did some research, you would know that Tigers stadium was home to the tigers until 1999.
Your list also kept the polo grounds off the list.
Tiger stadium was my second home and just 2 miles from where I lived. 4 generations of my family attended that ball park.
Would your family recall Briggs Stadium ?
oh yes@@dcasper8514
my father and grandfather attended the final game at connie mack stadium, my dad still has seat backs from there
You missed Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh.
No one misses any of those cookie cutters
And Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium.
I remember Three Rivers and Forbes Field.
That is amazing history to know. I didn’t know they began singing the Star Spangled Banner over the 7th inning stretch.
That obviously grew into one of the most special and highly revered traditions in all baseball, if not all of sports. It would’ve been amazing had you added one more to your list and expanded on how they sang the National Anthem over the 7th inning stretch then to start and then expand from there on when and how it changed again to what it is today, the singing of “Take Me Out To The Ball Game” in stead of the National Anthem and why between the top and bottom of the 7th inning. Or maybe, I’m all wrong and it is perfect as is and you could use it as a segway into its own video about the great traditions of baseball or even if all sports, full stop.
Either way bro, you’ve done an excellent job here with this video. Thanks heaps. Sorry to blab on but I enjoyed this video heaps. Thanks again .
The stadium in Philadelphia was pronounced Shy-be, not Shee-be.
I thought so.... just sounded weird
Yeah, that had me laughing out loud. It’s pronounced just like it’s spelled-no great mystery. How he got “Sheeb” out of Shibe I can’t imagine.
Why can't they have narrators that actually have baseball knowledge ?
Yeah, lol, I was surprised that he pronounced Cecil (Fielder) properly!
Comesky Park had a frankenstein of a field surface in the early 1970s: Astroturf infield (White Sox called it Sox Sod) and a natural grass outfield. Speaking of Frankensteins: Exhibition Stadium was a Frankenstein of a stadium
You spelled Comiskey wrong.
@@Clywoo77 sorry, was in a bit of a hurry
Whatever.
The Kingdome was a giant concrete piece of crap, but it was Seattle's piece of crap! It was that 1995 M's team that led to the construction of what is now knows as T-Mobile Field just across the street.
I agree that was a mistake building that place just like the metrodome
I've attended Major League regular season games in 58 ballparks. The Kingdome was the worst of them.
@@JanLarson The Kingdome was so Ugly on the outside.
SafeCo Field, which I call "the house that ruthlessness built", as the voters turned it down, but the legislature did it anyway.
The Tigers left Tiger Stadium in 1999 not 2009
It wasn't demolished until 2009 tho
To me, the coolest-looking older stadium was Connie Mack in Philadelphia. It must have gotten crazy there when the Dodgers and Giants visited from 1958 to 1961 since it's easy to get from NY to Phi.
If you're inclined to do a part two, please remember Veteran's Stadium in Philadelphia as well as the others people are mentioning here. It was a "bowl" type, which was fortunately replaced with the more fan-friendly Citizen's Bank Park,
Have seen games at two of these places, Busch Memorial and Yankee Stadium
5:30: I like Reggie Jackson's home run in the 1971 All-Star Game at Tiger Stadium better that cleared the roof. That game and home run is also able to be seen on CZcams.
There are way too many former baseball stadiums for just one list, you have both of the Giants former homes in the Polo Grounds and Candlestick Park Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh, Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, the Astrodome in Houston to name a few
Astrodome wouldn't make the list because it still exists
Those stadiums too were pretty cool as well
Don't forget Veteran Stadium Philadelphia.
You didn’t mention Candlestick Park in San Francisco, where the San Francisco Giants and the 49ers used to play. The giants moved to a downtown stadium and the 49ers moved to a stadium in Santa Clara. The park was torn down and is currently an empty lot. A far cry from the glory years, when the 49ers won 5 Super Bowl championships.
Ask Joe Montana about those glory years
Been to the old Yankee Stadium in 1972 and the renovated Yankee Stadium in 1979 and 1980. I went to one Yankee game at Shea in 1974 when that was their home in 1974-75 and a bunch of Met games. By the 1990's getting going to Shea stadium was pretty easy to get tickets (like going to the movies), but it was in the upper deck. A lot of good memories. I also remember them tearing down Shea Stadium because I lived near it.
RFK Stadium was home of Washington Redskins-Commanders, Washington Nationals, and DC United FC
For me, you saved the best for last. My dad took me to see the Pirates for the first time in 1966. It was my first time seeing a ballgame in color, since we only had a black and white TV at the time. Dad took me to two more games there, one in 1967 and one in 1968. In June of 1970, my uncle showed up at the house and asked me and my sister if we would like to go with him to see the final two games to be played at Forbes, or if we'd prefer to go to church with Mom. Needless to say, he didn't have to ask twice, and we had a great time seeing the doubleheader sweep of the Cubs, as Bill Mazeroski made the final put out ever on that field.
July 1, 1970.... a not quite 7 year old me got to go to my first MLB game at Tiger stadium in Detroit.
SO MANY firsts I witnessed that day... ! i'll never forget it. & as a bonus Denny McLain started that night ........
The British narration of this video is painfully incongruent with its content. “Tiger Stadium, home to Detroit Tigers since…” - no! It was home to THE Detroit Tigers. Blargh.
i always wonder about ppl from overseas intentions….cuz the pronunciations are KILLING me 😭😩
You forgot about Three Rivers Stadium home to the Steelers and Pirates from 1970- 2000. Also an interesting tidbit of info. Nintendo yeah that Nintendo who made the NES and SNES and N64 also owned the Seattle Mainers during the 1990s.
It's SHYBE PARK, not SHEEB.
I love baseball and football. While in the military. If I was close to a ballpark, I’d rent a car and go to a game. I was able to visit most of these stadiums. In 2008 my wife android I made a special trip to New York just to see Shea and Yankee stadiums before they were closed. It was an awesome trip. What made it even better, my caught a foul ball in Yankee stadium. :)
MY TOP 10 OLD MLB Stadiums We Miss:
10. Busch Memorial Stadium
9. RFK Stadium
8. Atlanta Fulton County Stadium
7. Tiger Stadium
6. Riverfront Stadium
5. Veterans Stadium
4. Three Rivers Stadium
3. Metrodome
2. Kingdome
1. Astrodome
We have the DVD of Billy Joel's concert at Shea Stadium before it was torn down, 'Last Play at Shea'. Another stadium they didn't mention was Milwaukee County Stadium. The new ones like Miler Park are nice but they just don't have the same feel & history of the old ballparks. I've only been to County stadium one time & Miller Park nearly once a year since it was built & I still liked County Stadium better.
*The NFL's New York Giants also played at the original Yankee Stadium for decades.*
Tiger Stadium was built as Navin Field in 1907, not 1912 and last I knew was still standing in the industrial section of Detroit, being used for highschool games and special events
what about exhibition stadium where the blue jays played before moving into at that time the "sky dome" now called "rogers center"
What about the Houston Colt 45s stadium and the astrodome.
I attended a few there. It was moved to Mexico, not sure if it's current status.
Why does it make me sad when I think of the old stadiums
Lumen Field is where the Seattle Seahawks play. T-Mobile Park, formerly SafeCo Field, is where the Mariners play.
Those stadiums exist
They re covering stadiums that are no longer standing today
Riverfront Stadium is where Pete Rose broke the record for most basehits. 4192
Tiger, Commiskey and Shea Stadium are my favorites. They should of kept it, because their new Stadiums doesn`t look good at all....
Thank you for including the REAL Yankee Stadium. The present shopping mall calling itself Yankee Stadium is a Fugazy
I’m very upset you went on to mention Sheas concerts but failed to mention the multiple icon Events at Yankee stadium
He also mispronounced Shibe's name, and mentioned where the Seahawks wound up playing (after playing at UW), and didn't mention where the Mariners--the baseball team--ended up playing.
Especially the heavyweight championship bouts.
Great video but it was kinda funny how he kept mispronouncing Shibe
You forgot the Metrodome
Know one forgot about the metrodome,it was a dump glad it's gone
@@jeffwinters3808 it may have been a dump, but it was our dump. Lots of great memories from it.
Saw many games at the metro dome. I’m old enough to have seen games at all 3 Twins Stadiums. Metropolitan Stadium when I was very young.
@@paulweinberger4723 me too just was never a fan of the place. Good memories just never cared for it
@@paulweinberger4723 you're probably my age because I remember going to all three Twins stadiums too.
As somebody who's lived in the Pacific Northwest since 1995, almost nobody misses the Kingdome.
Should’ve included Candlestick Park where the Giants played in San Francisco
What about Veterans stadium the Phillies played there a long time was so sad to see it go !
4:38 Ya got the Tiger years wrong. They moved out in 1999. Ironically you got the Lion years correct. Ironic because the latter's years would be a lot harder to research.
Yep Stephanie. You re correct. 1999 was the Detroit Tigers last season at Tiger Stadium then they got the new ballpark Comerica Park in 2000
Why wasn t Candlestick Park featured?
How Interestingly Magnificent!
Shibe Park is pronounced "shy-be."
The dodgers left too
What about the Houston Astrodome or Candlestick Park in San Francisco
The Pittsburgh Pirates Left Forbes Field for Three Rivers Stadium in the middle of July 1970. June 28th, 1970, was the Pirates last game at Forbes Field. The Pirates played a Doubleheader against the Chicago Cubs. The Pirates won the 2nd Game 4-1. The Pirates 1st Game at Three Rivers Stadium was July 16th 1970. The Pirates did not play in the World Series in 1970. Three Rivers Stadium would Host the World Series in 1971.
The Pirates first game at Three Rivers was against the Cincinnati Reds. Bruce Kison threw the first pitch to Ty Cline, Tony Perez hit the first ever home run there and Willie Stargel hit the first ever pirates homer.
The site of Shea Stadium was offered to Walter O’Malley for the Dodgers but he declined it
He wanted the Brooklyn Dodgers to stay in Brooklyn.
Yeah, so he moved them to Los Angeles? Okay.@@deepcosmiclove
Jack Murphy Stadium in San Diego and The Houston Astrodome don´t count?
Sh eye B
Albert Poo-joles 😭
What about the South End Grounds and Braves Field in Boston? Or County Stadium in Milwaukee? Or Fulton County Stadium in Atlanta? All places where today's Atlanta Braves once called home.
I went to both parks in New York in 2008.
Excuse you, The Yankees have 27 World Series titles, not 25. You made a mistake at 38 seconds. Also, at 45 seconds, he calls out some Yankee Hall of Famers, Ruth, Gehrig, Mantle, Berra, and Jetta? I was like, who the hell is Jetta? He must have meant Jeter. It is pronounced Gee-ter. LOL.
Obviously narrated by cricket fan. No knowledge of baseball, just a script handed to him.
St Lou-ee Cardinals...ahahahahaha
You left out Sportsmens Park in St. Louis.
Why is Candlestick not included in this video?
Tiger stadium closed in 1998
for a mets fan like me, shea stadium before its last days was already spelling out "unreliable and unadvanced" because the design of the stadium looked like a pie with its first slice missing. plus the seating arrangement caused a lot of problems for people who wanted to get better views of the field and players, plus the corridors were narrow and filled with trash and junk. and also the seating safety fences were lousing their paint and it was getting chipped away. plus the field itself was not big enough and it looked like a small backyard field that the sandlot kids would use. Now that Citi field exist, its actually a better improvement and benefit because the field is a little bigger, and the seating arrangement is better, plus the corridors are now wider and cleaner. plus citi field is the only ballpark in new york to have a bridge. Thats my opinion to this comment
Went to mini games at Busch Memorial Stadium
0:57 its.called the batters eye and every park has one
you forgot about The Metro dome Where the Minnesota Twins/Vikings used to play
They knock these iconic stadiums down without even giving it a thought to renovate or make the area a museum or other community money maker. It is such a shame of the greed that rules our society today.
Supprised the Polo Grounds wasnt in this video former home to the NY Giants and the Mets first season
You forgot Sportsman's Park in St Louis which became Busch Stadium one when Augie Busch bought the team
And candlestick park
Where's Toronto's Exhibition Stadium aka the mistake by the lake?
Follow closely by Cleveland Municipal Stadium. Home of the Cleveland Indians (1946 to 1995 and Cleveland Browns (1945 to 1995). Has the record largest All Star game crowd (1981).
Didn't realize Warwick Davis did CZcams videos.
How did Polo Grounds not make this list??
I wish they could add Tropicana Field to the list.
The place is a DUMP and is holding the Rays hostage. If they played anywhere in Tampa their attendance would increase.
Albert Poo-holes. Not Poo-jools.
Forgot about Milwaukee County Stadium
He did not mention where the blue jays used to play
Jeter pronounced "Gee-ter"
the Seattle Sounders didn't even exist when the Kingdome was demolished lol
Where is part 2?
That you forgot Park Jerry in Montreal
The previous two Yankee stadiums should be treated separately. They were not that similar and the the original Yankee Stadium was special.
Shibe Park is pronounced with a long "i" not "e"
i thought it was pronounced "shy-b" Park not "she-b" park lol
Shibe! Not “Sheeeb”
They should have never left the original Yankees stadium.
The old one was obsolete, and was talked about for years of being replaced as early as the 90’s.
I remember being in the old one twice, and compared to the new one it was very tight and cramped feeling. Not to mention it just felt and looked 50 years out of date.
Steinbrenner already supported its mid 70’s renovation but after a while he just didn’t want to do it again. He wanted to make more money.
Hell, at least the former site is preserved with Heritage Field
Of course they have a Brit trying to pronounce baseball stadiums...
No love for Kansas City 😢 two of nfl videos and no mention of kc.
Derek Jeh-tah?
rip yankee stadium
Sheeb Park? Gotta love Brits. It's Shibe, rhyming with tribe.
Its Shy-be 😂
It's not Sheeb Park.
You forgot the polo grounds.
I was disappointed he didn't mention the Polo Grounds. I went to my first game there in 1962. to see the loveable losses the Mets. I was 5 years old, but I still remember going there
Where's Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium?
It no longer exists bro......👀
@@KDill29 I know, but he doesn't mention it in the video, which is the point.
It is not sheen park, it was called connie mack stadium. Sheeb
