There are 30 MLB stadiums currently in use, but which one is the oldest?

MLB is the oldest sport league in the country, and the first team was formed in 1903. Throughout the years, the league has grown tremendously.

MLB is one of the most historic sport leagues in America, and many of the stadiums tied to the leagues hold their own history as well.

Which MLB stadium currently in use is the oldest?

The oldest MLB stadium in use is Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox. Fenway Park first opened in 1912 and still stands strong today. Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs, is a close second. Wrigley opened in 1914. Beyond that, there is a 50-year difference between the oldest MLB stadium in history and the third-oldest.

Fenway earned the nickname of “America’s Most Beloved Ballpark” and is used for many purposes. Fenway hosts a plethora of events, such as concerts, tours, college networking opportunities, environmental groups, and the opportunity for those interested to host business or personal events.

The city of Boston has watched Fenway claim big moments in its history over the years such as holding nine World Series trophies. Fenway is home to many Hall-of-Fame MLB players and to the entire city of Boston. Fenway has also become a special place for the Boston Bruins because it is where they won the first NHL winter classic game held at Fenway Park.

Journalists, athletes and citizens alike all share the same love for Fenway Park, and it is one of the most important parts of Boston Culture (via Boston Globe Sports Columnist Dan Shaughnessy, ESPN).

"“When they raze Fenway, it’ll be like cutting down an old tree. Count the rings. There’s one for each celebration and heartache suffered by Red Sox fans.”"
