5 best MLB stadium experiences
The best MLB stadium experiences know that fans need more than just good baseball to be entertained. These 5 spots give fans everything they need.
Modern-day sports fans have more choices than ever before as to where they’ll spend their hard-earned entertainment dollars. MLB teams understand that providing a quality on-field product is no longer enough to earn fan loyalty. The following five stadiums give baseball fans everything they need in terms of game-day experience even when the on-field product isn’t up to par.
That doesn’t mean vaunted tradition isn’t still taken into account. The ghosts that fly around the home parks of MLB’s most storied franchises still come into play. Savvy baseball fans are acutely aware of the game’s storied history. The best ballpark experiences make that an integral part of the game-day experience.

The first park on this list may not be the original site of much history, but the franchise still does an incredible job of making it seem like its legendary heroes still patrol Monument Park on a regular basis.
5. Yankee Stadium
Admittedly, most of the Yankees’ memorable moments occurred across the street on the site of the now-demolished “old” Yankee Stadium. It’s remarkably easy to forget that fact when you attend a game in the Bronx though.
The presence of Monument Park alone is enough to power the Yankees to the No. 5 spot on this list. Enterprising fans should make the effort to get to the park early to revel in the presence of memorials to giants of the game like Ruth and Mantle.
Yankee Stadium can’t rank higher on this list because it lacks the appealing options around the stadium that some of its peers possess. There are a few bars worth hitting across the street, but they’re only interesting because of their proximity to the ballpark. The experience inside the gates at Yankee Stadium is top-notch, but it’s largely an oasis in the Bronx.
