Originally created by architect John N. Hoyt, the park sits atop a landfill in Boston’s Fenway-Kenmore area. 10.000 fans watched the park’s debut game against the New York Yankees on April 20, 1912.

One of America’s most recognizable landmarks, Fenway Park is a baseball mecca.

Well-known features include the Green Monster wall in left field and the unusual seating design, which requires fans to climb stairs to reach some sections of the stadium. Just over 37,000 spectators can fit inside the stadium, making it Major League Baseball’s oldest venue.

The significance of Fenway Park is its 37-ft Green Monster left wall. Aside from this, the manual scoreboard and the Pesky Pole are in the right field. In 1934, the Fenway Park Authority brought some innovative changes to it.

In 2001, the Green Monster was altered. As a result, the stadium’s capacity was increased by 4000 seats. By the way, Fenway Park is also the minor ballpark in MLB, along with its oldest construction.

The same year, Wrigley Field also hanged its first-ever World Series championship flag.

The name was changed to Wrigley Field because William Wrigley Jr. became the owner of most of the share of the ballpark by that time.

However, Wrigley field moved into the ballpark in 1916. Since 1988, it has been the last ballpark that has installed lights for night games. The USA historic landmark authority added this as a National Historic Landmark in 2020.

Despite being built only for baseball, the stadium was renovated in 1980 to allow the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams. By the way, following the 1994 football season, the Rams were relocated to St. Louis.

The stadium underwent renovations once the Rams departed it in 1996 under the new Walt Disney Co. ownership. The area behind the outfield wall was destroyed.

One of the major stadium remodeling projects for Major League Baseball took place from 2007 to 2009. Additionally, the seating capacity increased to 37,903 with the most recent remodeling.

The successor to the original Comiskey Park is the Guaranteed Rate Field. From 1910 through 1990, this served as the Chicago White Sox’s home field. It was the final baseball stadium built before the retro-classic style became popular in the design world.

From 1991 to 2003 and from 2003 to 2016, the Guaranteed Rate Field was called Comiskey Park and U.S. Cellular Field, respectively. Fans used to be critical of the authority because it was one of the earlier models. The stadium had a complete refurbishment as a consequence in 2001.

Despite undergoing a complete makeover, the Guaranteed Field’s architecture is outdated compared to the relatively new Camden Yards. The Camden Yards design actually set an advanced design revolution for the next 25 years, so nothing was done by others designed before it.

9. Oriole Park at Camden Yards – 1992

The biggest video board at Progressive Field, which is 221 feet wide and 59 feet tall, the toothbrush-shaped light towers, and the 19-foot-high wall in left field are among its notable features.

On the other side, Progressive Field had a unique record of selling out 455 straight home games from the 1995 to 2001 season.

By the way, the Cleveland Indians relocated to Progressive Field after many years of playing in the Municipal stadium. They also turned it into one of the most well-known multifunctional stadiums (football stadiums).

When the Indians arrived, another miracle occurred. They won two of the first three World Series in the ballpark despite never having won a series before.

Additionally, the Indians contributed a fantastic restoration to the park’s top right deck, transforming it into a great American ball park. The rest of the field, meanwhile, is unchanged from 1994.

4,483,350 fans were the most visitors ever recorded there during their first campaign in the Mile High school Stadium.

Coors Field is a masterpiece of architectural design, by the way. Because it installed a subsurface heating system for the first time in a baseball stadium in the USA. A significant archaeological event also occurred during construction. While excavating the dirt, many fossilized, whole dinosaurs were discovered.

However, Coors Field’s walls are the deepest of all MLB stadiums due to the environmental conditions. High elevations and thin air characterize Denver. Even the thickest barriers occasionally can’t stop the ball from leaving the park.

By the way, the Colorado Rockies are off to a tremendous start. They won their first game at Coors Field thanks to a walk-off home run by Dante Bichette. The game was in its 14th inning (!). According to what I said about the air at Coors Field, batters prefer to hit there because of the favorable environmental conditions.
