Dodger Stadium, home of the Los Angeles Dodgers

One of the few stadiums completed during the 1960s on our list, Dodger Stadium’s architecture is modern in its simplicity. The style helps keep all eyes on the game, though we don’t blame you if you’re momentarily distracted by views of palm trees and the San Gabriel Mountains.

Kauffman Stadium, home of the Kansas City Royals

Kauffman Stadium, one of the few 1970s-era parks built solely for baseball, was recently renovated to provide the amenities today’s fans expect, making it the best of both worlds. Though it was built during the cookie-cutter era of stadium architecture, special touches like the fountain and waterfall display outside right field, and a pseudo-crown atop the video scoreboard make it stand out from the pack.

Busch Stadium, home of the St. Louis Cardinals

Opened in 2006, Busch Stadium offers retro-classic style with a panoramic skyline view of St. Louis and the Gateway Arch. The park’s handsome brick exterior incorporates an arched entryway at Gate 3 that replicates nearby Eads Bridge—and makes for an awe-inspiring start to a day at the ballpark.

Safeco Field, home of the Seattle Mariners

Rain delay? Not at Safeco Field. The Seattle Mariners stadium features a retractable roof to protect games from the elements—a necessity in this rainy city. Despite its thoroughly modern retractable roof technology, the stadium is constructed in the popular retro-modern style, giving it an old-school sensibility.

PNC Park, home of the Pittsburgh Pirates

With views of the Allegheny River and city skyline, and seats no higher than 88 feet from the field, you’ll be both charmed and totally immersed at a Pirates game. The stadium’s style nods to classic ballparks like Fenway and Wrigley, and rabid fans will appreciate the scoreboard that provides detailed info on the progress of all other MLB matchups under way during the game.
