Baseball stadiums are not just venues for sports; they’re cultural icons and destinations offering unique experiences for fans. From breathtaking views to historical significance, each stadium holds its own appeal. Here’s a look at how active MLB stadiums rank based on their Google reviews:
Worst MLB Stadiums:
5) Citi Field, New York Mets
Google Rating: 4.6
USA Today’s Ranking: 11
Jeff W.: “Waited in line for 30 minutes for popcorn, they informed me that they were out. Lines to everything were so long. Food was mediocre at best and so was the play on the field. We stayed for fireworks and my Uncle Tom puts on a better fireworks show. Absolutely horrid. Not a good experience and did I mention a 24oz beer was $17.99.”
TJ G.: “This used to be the most fan friendly stadium in the entire MLB and then they closed scumbag alley. Where am I supposed to smoke cigs and meet other real New Yorkers? BRING BACK THE SMOKING SECTION AKA SCUMBAG ALLEY!”
4) Rogers Centre, Toronto Blue Jays
Google Rating: 4.5
USA Today’s Ranking: 21
James D.: “Your prices are worse than Trudeau’s Carbon taxes. You are ripping off the public and driving people away. No one should have to pay $30 a person to have one meal at a baseball game. Please make this manageable for all parties.”
Niamh R.: “Don’t bring your friends here unless you’re inbred, not enough music too much baseball. Make it a nightclub!”
3) LoanDepot Park, Miami Marlins
Google Rating: 4.5
USA Today’s Ranking: 18
David B.: “The fans playing drums in the stands is a nightmare. They sound terrible. They don’t play together. It’s just a bunch of terrible noise. I hope they do away with that asap. It ruined the game.”
Bobby H.: “Parked in the garage, stuck in there elevator for over an hour. The response, we will pay for parking, we will upgrade your seats. Wow, not the money!!! My 4 year old daughter and my wife and I had to climb out of the top of the elevator after the fire department arrived. Poor customer service.”
2) Tropicana Field, Tampa Bay Rays
Google Rating: 4.4
USA Today’s Ranking: 29
Keith A.: “WORST stadium in baseball. Does this place actually have air conditioning? Who is in charge of posting stats, do they even know baseball. Halls are crowded and acoustics are a joke. You can do better Tampa Bay.”
Ken K.: “They should make it clear that you cannot touch the Rays in the touch-tank after the 7th inning. I showed up during the 8th inning and the worker rudely told me they were closed, I could not come in, and that I need to come back during their next game, before I could even ask a question. I was not impressed.”
1) Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, Oakland Athletics
Google Rating: 4.3
USA Today’s Ranking: 30
Jesse F.: “This stadium is literally falling apart and disgusting, haha. When driving in I was legit worried I was in a homeless camp. The only good part was the
Yankees throwing a perfect game and being a part of history.”
Willis W.: “Unfortunately this place is just old, rundown and not appealing.”
Best MLB Stadiums:
5) Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles Dodgers
Google Rating: 4.7
USA Today’s Ranking: 7
Ari I.: “I love baseball and I’ve been to about a dozen parks, this is one of the best. Where most clubs tear down the old and build new, the Dodgers have meticulously maintained and augmented this wonderful art Deco Park. Make sure to take the tour yes there is a tour before the game to get the full impact.”
Ruby R.: “It’s always a good experience with family and friends. We always bring in our snacks to avoid overspending, but you really can’t go wrong with the dodger dog, pretzel, nachos, and soft serve ice cream.”
4) Yankee Stadium, New York Yankees
Google Rating: 4.7
USA Today’s Ranking: 20
Brandon B.: “Great ballpark, pretty easy to get to, and awesome venue to say you visited. Tickets are super reasonable, the cheap seats were literally 5 bucks for a Tuesday night game.”
Lawrence M.: “Managed to get tickets to a game against the Chicago white sox on the last night of our trip and was a great night out, both me and my wife’s first ever baseball.”
3) Wrigley Field, Chicago Cubs
Google Rating: 4.8

Daniel S.: “Wrigley Field has to be the best ballpark in the world! It is surrounded by a wonderful and vibrant community, is incredibly easy to access by transit and walking, and the atmosphere inside the park is like nothing else!”
Giovanni S.: “Participated in the tour of Wrigley Field. The tour was just amazing, so much passion by the tour guide in telling us the whole story of the stadium and the club and showing us around.”
2) Fenway Park, Boston Red Sox
Google Rating: 4.8
USA Today’s Ranking: 5
Nick A.: “SUCH a cool ballpark! The history, style and overall atmosphere is so focused on baseball and the game, you feel like every game is a celebration/carnival.”

1) Busch Stadium, St. Louis Cardinals
Google Rating: 4.8
