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.

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.

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.

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 .

RFK Stadium was home of Washington Redskins-Commanders, Washington Nationals, and DC United FC

my father and grandfather attended the final game at connie mack stadium, my dad still has seat backs from there

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.

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 KZread.

Have seen games at two of these places, Busch Memorial and Yankee Stadium

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.

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.

Lumen Field is where the Seattle Seahawks play. T-Mobile Park, formerly SafeCo Field, is where the Mariners play.

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. :)

Tiger, Commiskey and Shea Stadium are my favorites. They should of kept it, because their new Stadiums doesn`t look good at all....

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 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.

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

Shibe Park is pronounced "shy-be."

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.
