Every MLB stadium ranked from worst to best

6. Dodger Stadium – – Los Angeles Dodgers
Dodger Stadium.
When you hear those two words, all you can think of is baseball history.
Situated in Chavez Ravine, Dodger Stadium is one of MLB’s legacy parks, one that only ages gracefully under the warm glow of the southern California sunshine. Opened in 1962, the ballpark is now the oldest stadium west of the mighty Mississippi River, with all of its regional counterparts either in brand new stadiums, in the process of building one or are fighting their cities for one.
There is no need for the Dodgers to get a new stadium as Dodger Stadium as it has built a legacy all of its own and is one of the more profitable stadiums in the Majors. Sure, there have been renovations to keep the ballpark looking fresh, but all of the aesthetics that makes Dodgers Stadium such an iconic place to watch the Dodgers play have been there for decades and won’t be going anywhere anytime soon.
Starting after the season, Dodgers Stadium will undergo yet another facelift, to the tune of $100 million. This renovation will add a two-acre center field plaza complete with a kids’ playground so the kiddos won’t get bored, and a sports bar with a beer garden for the adults. The latest renovations will make Dodgers Stadium even more fan-friendly, at already one of the most fan-friendly ballparks in the MLB.
Add all of these ingredients, plus the fact that the Dodgers are a dominant team, and you have the makings of a No. 6-ranked ballpark that, if the Dodgers do win it all, will certainly inch higher on this list.
