31 sports stadiums most likely to be haunted

There are definitely a few sports stadiums in the U.S. that could be haunted. Here are the 31 most likely to have some kind of paranormal presence.

For generations, sports have unified families across the United States. They bring together fathers, sons, mothers and daughters to root for their favorites teams, they give us something to talk about with our aunts and uncles at Thanksgiving and, most important, they offer us a target for our anger that isn’t each other.

The pleasure and pain that come with cheering for your favorite team is something we all understand. We’ve all celebrated in victory and wallowed in soul-crushing defeat. Some years are better than others, but there is and there always will be next year.

The attachment many Americans feel toward their sports teams is an unwavering, lifelong commitment. For some, it might even be more than a lifelong commitment. With so much passion packing stadiums around the country, would it really be a surprise if a few fans continued to cheer for their teams in the afterlife?

In addition to all those fans, plenty of stadiums in the U.S. have been around for generations themselves; that’s a lot of time to develop some kind of supernatural presence, right? Thanks to years of overwhelming excellence and/or years more of psychologically torturous failure, here are the 31 U.S. stadiums most likely to be haunted.

31. Oriole Park at Camden Yards

Baltimore is a fantastic baseball city. It has been home to the American League East’s Baltimore Orioles since 1954, and enjoyed over two decades worth of championship-caliber baseball under legendary Hall of Fame manager Earl Weaver from the late 1960s to the early 1980s.

Though winning hasn’t been a regular feature of Orioles baseball for most of the last 20 years, Baltimore is still home to one of the most aesthetically pleasing ballparks in MLB. Completed in 1992, Oriole Park at Camden Yards was the first of its kind in terms of baseball architecture.

In contrast to the cookie-cutter, multi-purpose stadiums popular in the 1960s to 1980s, Camden Yards has a retro feel to it, and remains the gold standard for ballparks modern ballparks hoping to establish some longevity.

While the Orioles did most of their winning at old Memorial Stadium, Camden Yards has a lot of ghoulish potential thanks to the B&O Warehouse and pedestrian-only Eutaw Street beyond right field.

Designer HOK Sport (now Populous) wisely incorporated both existing elements into Oriole Park’s design. With the past blending seamlessly into the future, it wouldn’t be a surprise to learn deceased Marylanders have been hanging out on Eutaw Street to catch the O’s playing ball on summer evenings
