The reason for the size of Chukchansi Park (Fresno Grizzlies), is because it was built for Triple-A baseball.. but the whole upheaval of the Minor League system before the 2021 season, we were demoted to Single-A.

The Grizzlies were home to AAA team's franchises that won World Series 6 of ten years from 2010-2019. Three years for the Giants, one year for the Cubs, one year for the Astros and one year for the Nationals. If you want to win a a World Series bring your AAA franchise to Fresno.

Actually, we never had the Cubs AAA team. They have had the Iowa Cubs for a very long time. Fresno is now a Single-A Rockies affiliate, and have been doing quite well this season.

Yes, the Grizzlies were a part of their parent club's 2010, 2012, 2014, and 2017 championships. The Grizzlies also won the PCL and Triple-A Championships in 2015.

I'm from southern California and the 66ers are the team down there, but now that I live here in fresno I love the grizzly stadium. It has an amazing view and the atmosphere is nice. Also good to see a ballpark where the outfield just doesn't end in dirt or a lot

The original Grizzlies owners were concert/entertainment promoters and convinced the city to foolishly build a stadium that would also be a concert venue. It cost about twice as much as Raleys field in Sac-town that was built at the same time. Then the SaveMart Center was built on the Fresno State campus (you know, indoors and air conditioned) thus no real need for an outdoor venue downtown where no one lives... Now it's just an overgrown albatross on the city's tight budget.

The Chuk still draws great attendance. The demotion from AAA to A was MLBs idea, not ours. We had no choice to take the Single-A team or face having no team at all. Unfortunately, that meant that Lancaster, CA. had to lose theirs.

I think there was a new AAA team in Sugarland, Texas for the Astros. This meant a AAA team had to get demoted. Fresno wanted to keep their AAA team and not get demoted to low A, but MLB threatened them that it was that or nothing.

Hey man, I work on the grounds crew at Segra Stadium and I really appreciate everything you said abt it. We really try our best all day every day to make sure the field is in great condition!

The old ballpark is scheduled to be demolished later this year according to Ballpark Digest.

I live less than 10 miles from the Visalia stadium it is very odd but also a fun experience

Publix Park, the home of the Lakeland Flying Tigers, actually underwent a massive renovation and looks absolutely incredible now

great job! all of your work is spot on! quick precise and to the point! fresno grizzlies were AAA FOR 25 years. now low A

I love the video! One correction though: Atrium Health Ballpark in Kannapolis is NOT on the site of the old Intimidators Stadium. Intimidators Stadium is a solid 10 minute drive away and about to be demolished for an industrial park. Atrium Health Ballpark was built near the site of an old textile mill in downtown Kannapolis. It truly is a gem!

I’ve really enjoyed seeing all the MiLB stadiums from my house! Thank you!

That's basically true about Vi-sal-ia They were the Visalia Oaks before the Rawhide. The stadium was called Recreation Park. With the renovations, excellent seats and ambiance

It was great to see my hometown park highlighted (and first!). Thanks!

I agree about Lake Elsinore Diamond - great looking stadium, has to be one of the nicest in the lower minors. And CA League sees tons of future stars, highly recommended!

I've seen many ball games in Grainger Stadium. It's old and tiny but a fantastic place to watch a ballgame.

Love to see my hometown Park on the thumbnail !!

The Greenjackets stadium is amazing. They are now the Braves low-A as well which is a great change.

I live in north Augusta and it’s so cool to see a local stadium featured in a KZread video!!! (It is is sc tho lol)

Joker Marchant stadium torn down their old grandstands and renovated years ago and now it looks really good

Im from the Detroit area so a Tigers fan and went to a spring training game down in Lakeland and man it was a great ballpark

That hotel or apartment behind left field is pretty cool in Augusta

Your commentary is improving 😂 I especially liked that jab you took at Detroit

Fiscalini Field in San Bernadino, California used to be low A San Bernadino Spirit. Now the UC San Bernadino Baseball Team plays there. I played there a couple of times in the 90s...I even hit a homer over the RF wall!

10:47 The actual name of the town is Port Saint Lucie. The team shortens it to the Saint Lucie Mets dropping Port.

I'm just annoyed that the Lexington Legends lost their Low-A status. The team still exists but it's now in an independent league.

Excite Stadium in San Jose is a great place. I know it as Muni and it is an old WPA project. The building outside the outfield fence is where the San Jose Sharks practice. It is old but cool. They have an awesome out BBQ down the third base line.

I’ve been to 1 game at SRP Park to watch the Green Jackets play the River Dogs. The whole place is amazing.

Good video! How about covering the NCAA Division-I ballparks in the future? Since some college baseball programs are better-financed than others, there should be quite a range of sizes and styles.

I love the Storm stadium. Not the nicest, but usually very fun. Firework night and the Grass berm left of 1st base is always awesome as well.

North Augusta South Carolina not nc

Luv me some Grainger Stadium in Kinston. Going to the old park after missing out last year.

The Flying Tigers are in honor of the Flying Tigers trained in Lakeland before going off to fight in the Pacific theater in WWII/ And, of course, also that the Detroit Tigers have trained in Lakeland since 1934.

That’s a pretty old Google Earth image of Joker Marchant Stadium, because it doesn’t look like that

I’m bias but I love the SJ Giants field. It’s old and it’s got history. What really is EXCITING is the beer batter. They choose a player on the opposing team if he strikes out all beer is 50% off for the next 15 minutes. It’s a great day when he strikes out 4 times before the 7th. Then it turns into the apple juice batter.

Hell yeah first time watching one of your uploads subscribed 25 seconds in

Great video! You should do the Northwoods League, a great independent league in the upper midwest.

I am from and raised in the Central Valley California and Chuckchansi Park is awesome to watch a game . I was pissed when they went to single a but it

Would love to see you do Intercounty Baseball League stadiums

You could go on doing these for ever! Rookie leagues etc. The Australian Baseball League, goodness knows how many other national baseball leagues there are!

Been to the Mudcats this pass july absolutely beautiful ball park full hse was the 4th would go back again

Amazing work and funny, as usual!

Ray Winder Field was a really good historical park until it was torn down in 2012 or so. Built in the late early part of the 1900's.

Do Frontier League!!!!! Would love to see him highlight Bosse Field in Evansville, Indiana. Third oldest stadium behind Wrigley Field and Fenway Park and home to one of the most famous quotes in any sports movie!

up next, Frontier League of Professional Baseball stadiums

Have you covered Joseph L Bruno stadium before in any of your videos? home of the tri-city valleycats (Short-season A club for the Astros up until last year). Great park!

The Pelicans Stadium was used for season 3 of Eastbound and Down for HBO!

Rodger Dean Stadium was built to replace Palm Beach Municipal Stadium and is about 15 miles or more north of West Palm Beach yet still in Palm Beach County Florida.

The cannonballs logo is a reference to hometown legend dale esrnhardt. They changed up the name from intimidators because they no longer wanted to pay the trademark.

You should do a best stadium features video. Largest videoboard, steepest seats, etc

You should do the independent leagues next. (MLB Partner Leagues: American Association, Frontier, Atlantic, Pioneer | Independent Leagues: United Shore, Empire, Pacific, Pecos) Have you done the Mexican league yet? Just some ideas. Keep up the great work!

Atrium Ballpark (Kannapolis) was not built on the site of the old Intimidator's stadium. It was built downtown. The old park was on the outskirts and was sold.

South Carolina for the GreenJackets

The Florida state league Carolina league and California league were all high a league's and Mid west and South Atlantic leagues were low a ball but the baseball commissioner's pen stroke changed everything

TD ballpark is so nice right in my hometown Dunedin 8:50

The Fresno Grizzlies' stadium is so big because they were a AAA team until this year. Not sure why they got demoted all the way down to Low-A.

@Padsquad2010

They got bumped from AAA so they could add the St. Paul Saints. Saints became a Twins affiliate replacing the Rochester Red Wings. Red Wings became a Nationals affiliate, replacing the Grizzlies. Grizzlies left with nobody. And then they went to Low-A because that’s the only non-AAA level that had other CA teams. They replaced the Lancaster Jethawks there as the Rockies affiliate. So basically seems like a victim of circumstance in the restructuring. Just no good spot anywhere else.
