I invite fans of this Web site to share any photos which they have taken of the major league ballparks. There are currently no photos on the pages for the ones listed below, most of which are no longer in existence. I would also be glad to include photos of stadiums that served as "neutral venues," or photos that are of better quality than the current ones...
Please Contact me (via e-mail) if you would like to share some of your "photographic memories" with other fans.
I always credit the original photographers, and am much obliged to the following people:

(Includes major revisions, minor revisions, pages with additional diagrams, and future stadiums that are under construction. This is only a rough guide; the sequence is subject to change.)
Between March 2012, when Marlins Park was completed, and September 2014, there were no major league baseball stadiums under construction. It was the first time since September 1986 that this situation existed. But in light of the recent groundbreaking on the future home of the Braves, the table that had been removed from this space is being restored.

10 visit(s). My rating: 8
I am a retired SFPD officer. I have been to the park on many many occasions. When the park first opened, I was still on the job. I was able to enter the park before it was opened to the public. My very first impression was that it took me back to my childhood when I lived in Pittsburgh Pa and attended many games at Forbes Field. As I walked along the main concourse, I was taken in by all the dark green painted steel beams and it immediately propelled me back in time to a place all but forgotten now. I was fortunate to be able to tour around the park and get onto the field for a view most fans don't get to see. It was pretty amazing. The only reason this park does not get a 9 in rating is because I have been to other modern parks like Coor's Field that have slightly better fan accouterments. But that being said, it's a very very nice place to see a ball game and I highly recommend it.
