Every MLB stadium ranked from worst to best

19. Miller Park — Milwaukee Brewers
Milwaukee has always been known as a great baseball town, so in 2001, Brewers fans were certainly deserving of a shiny new ballpark that featured all of the modern comforts of the new millennium.
Enter Miller Park, a ballpark built at a time when MLB teams were salivating over the thought having a park with a retractable roof to keep out the elements, even it the roof took away from the charm of watching a baseball game outdoors. When Miller Park opened 18 years ago, it was seen by many as one of the top ballparks in the league. It didn’t matter that the team stunk to high heaven then, their ballpark was a magnificent gem.
Flash forward to today: the Brewers have now become a perennial playoff team, and the ballpark is still in high standards, but due to its age, Miller Park is on a slow march toward functionality. Miller Park is still a fine place to catch a baseball game, with its sideline views making one think that they’re watching a Minor League game in Kenosha, and a slide that is still one of the coolest amenities at any ballpark.
But with newer digs opening up since Miller Park and its cavernous field took the MLB spotlight, the ballpark is beginning to show small cracks of aging. Unlike the other ballparks on this list, the Brewers won’t be moving out of MIller Park anytime soon, and it doesn’t need replacing. But compared to its newer brethren, Miller Park is starting to resemble the cool uncle at the barbeque who is showing the effects of aging.
