MLB stadiums across the US: How many ballparks have you visited?

There are 30 MLB baseball parks across the United States, plus one in Canada, where games are hel during the season. Each field has its own charms and hidden gems that make them unique. 

Many of the MLB fields have been functional for decades, while others do not have as much historic appeal and opened their doors more recently. While these fields have the primary purpose of hosting their respective MLB home teams, there are other events held at these venues, including additional sporting events, concerts, races and more. 

Here is a list of all 30 MLB stadiums, organized from oldest to newest. This list is set up in order of when the first baseball game was played on the field. For some, that date differs from when it was first opened, if they were used for different sporting events.
