I attended a Friday night game with around 9,000 people and it sounded like 40,000. The stadium is one of the most expensive stadiums of all time at $1.4 Billion US and was finally paid off 30 years after being built. It was affectionately referred to as the Big Owe.

It was hot as hell, but we were used to that. I went to a few games at he Astrodome and it was nice and cool, but had horrible astroturf and bad mulit-purpose seating layout for baseball.

I would say that Shibe Park/Connie Mack Stadium would have been the candidate for worst in both the 1950s and 1960s: both decades due to the condition of the facility and the crumbling North Philadelphia neighborhood it was located in (of which the Baker Bowl was only a few blocks east at N. Broad & Lehigh). In fact, several AL teams (when the A's were still under the ownership of the Mack Family) were close to outright refusing to play games against the A's at Shibe, eventually leading to the Mack Family to be forced to sell the A's, of which the team was then moved to Kansas City (and with their later departure to Oakland, lead to Sick's Stadium taking worst of the 1960s as Senator Stuart Symington, whose state - Missouri, where the A's played - suffered from the move of the A's to Oakland, and as such, threatened to introduce legislation to strip MLB of it's anti-trust exemption status, unless the KC Royals were allowed to play in 1969, which due to issues of an unbalanced schedule, the AL was forced to field the Seattle Pilots, now the Milwaukee Brewers, to play as well). Thankfully, the Phillies, despite the prospects of building a new baseball-only stadium either at the Garden State Racetrack in Cherry Hill, NJ (due to NJ's relaxed liquor and alcohol laws) or above the railroad yard at 30th Street Station in Philadelphia's University City (near where the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles played their home games at the University of Pennsylvania's Franklin Field), would stay at Connie Mack Stadium long enough until 1970, after which, the team (along with the Eagles) would move to the "cookie cutter" Veterans Memorial Stadium at the South Philadelphia Sports Complex for the 1971 MLB Season, remaining there long after the team moved to neighboring Citizens Bank Park (and the Eagles, before the Phillies, moving to Lincoln Financial Field across Patterson Ave. from CBP).

No list of worst stadiums could be without Candlestick Park home of the SF Giants from 1960 to 1999. They literally would draw in the hundreds (sub 1000) consistently some years per game. It was freezing cold in the summer putting the stadium at Candlestick point with wind and water surrounding it. Oh then came the night games with wet fog added to the mix. The foul ground was huge (like Oakland). You had to pee in troughs. Right field was closed off because those seats where pushed in for football. Walking through the hallways to concessions, it was like a 20 MPH cold wind draft in there. Cold and windy baseball and have a stadium accent those characteristics was really bad.

The third base line sections were all actual seats... but almost all of the upper sections on the first base side were benches, even most of the way into the infield. (Only good part is that meant you saved a few bucks compared to a similar view on the third base.) Doesn't matter though.

The minor league park in Buffalo actually hosted games with fans in 2021. It took until July that year before the Blue Jays were finally allowed back in Canada. It was a unique opportunity for Western New York residents because they don't have an MLB team, and I don't see them as being in contention for an expansion franchise. The Rays have been stuck with Tropicana since they were founded in 1998, and it was a hand-me-down even back then. They've threatened to relocate if they don't get a new stadium. The problem with the Florida teams is that while the state has grown in population in recent years, those new residents largely stick with their old teams from where they came from. They have poor attendance, and you'll always see lots of fans of the opposing team at their games. The Marlins have a similar issue, but they have a new stadium, so they aren't going anywhere. The possibility of the A's and Rays relocating is what is keeping an expansion to 32 teams from being immanent, even though it's been approved by the player's association. While it's pretty much a done deal that the A's are going to Las Vegas, things are still up in the air for the Rays, and they don't want to put an expansion franchise in a city that the Rays might want to relocate to.

Even then, if you left the country, even for a second, you had to quarantine for 14 days. There was a point where they were thinking people werent quarantining that they started making people stay in hotels until they got a negative (Canadian administered) test for Covid. You were paying thousands to stay in that hotel, and eating a balony sandwich and apple sauce for your meals. So Blue Jays fans couldnt get to Buffalo to watch a game unless they wanted to spend 14 days in self isolation. There were no exceptions until people got double vaccinated and filled out a useless phone app with that vaccination proof (if you didnt have a smartphone, too bad).

When you compare the parks of 90 years, and less, ago to newer ballparks it's going to be obvious what was wrong with them, but I think a lot of the time the uncertainty of the future is what determines it for them. They don't know if the team will be there next year hence why some the stadiums only hosted a major league team for a year. As for the more prominent teams, like Toronto Blue Jays, I would say it's just a money issue and playing somewhere that doesn't easily build stadiums like they do in the US is why they played in Exhibition Field for as long as they did. As for the conditions for the fans in several of these venues, it wasn't about going to the park to look at the park back then. Not to sound like an old person, but growing up in the 90s and 2000s to go watch the Pirates at Three Rivers Stadium was a really fun time. $7 for a box seat and I just loved watching the game. Astroturf be damned. I kind of hate that the taxpayers have to pay for newer teams to exist in their cities. I think it's bs. PNC Park is nice, but I would prefer a better team than a better ballpark any day.

You're wrong. It's a horrible place to watch and play baseball. As bad as the Kingdome in Seattle was 1978-99.

The Hubert H Humphrey Metrodome... What can I say?? Yikes!!! The Viqueens wanted it for football and then the Twinkies got it for baseball. I had a huge laugh when the Dome collapsed in one of it's first year. After the last roof fell in, the "Powers that be built the new TCF stadium.

I really enjoyed this video. I am surprised that Shea Stadium did not make the list. It was awful when it opened in 64 and only got worse from there.

Go to a stadium with nose bleed seats at an angle so steep that would blow your mind from fear of falling down those steps. Dodger stadium's $2 seats back in the day, needed binoculars to see what was going on down there.

Exhibition Stadium, I live in the Toronto area, born in 1976, my Dad NEVER took me to a game in Toronto. We instead drove to Detroit, to see games at Tiger Stadium. Ha, years later, I have no regrets never seeing a game at Exhibition Stadium.

Exhibition Stadium wasn't even built until the Blue Jays were announced. You are thinking of the CNE Grandstand, and it was a racetrack long before any grass or turf sports. The Grandstand was contoured for a 1/3 mile oval track. None of that design was taken into account for any field sports. The Grandstand's inner radius was sculpted to accomodate the front stretch. The Argos played on the infield of the racetrack. Do some basic research youngling.

Arlington Stadium was actually a minor league stadium that was designed so it could be easily and inexpensively expanded and upgraded to MLB standards.

@@davidlafleche1142 Arlington Stadium was a tin can. We would beat and stomp the metal floors. I have never been to a more hideous athletic facility. It was like sitting on a skillet. As a child, the stadium was even bad for my families marriage, it was so ghetto. The stadium George Bush built to replace it, " The Ballpark in Arlington" was nice, it had classic features and southwest deco. But Arlington Stadium was a dystopian nightmare out of Madmax, an omen of Judeo American collapse out of the depravity of the 70's.

Call me crazy, I kinda miss some of the quirky stadiums. I miss old Tiger Stadium in Detroit, I’m 41, being 100% honest when I say it’s a better place for myself to watch a game then their current home Comerica Park. One there is no shade at Comerica Park, way the park is directed so home plate faced the skyline, the sun just destroys you, very few places you can hide. At Tiger Stadium while the polls made some seats obstructed, the positive was the upper deck kept us in the lower deck away from the sun, rain. Also the upper deck at Tiger Stadium last row is closer to the field then first row of upper deck at Comerica Park. So yea any stadium like Exhibition, Sick, Jarry Park, Arlington Stadium with no shade, is a no go. I thought Cleveland Stadium was unique. Most these parks weren’t built with MLB in mind, I know Arlington Stadium was a minor league stadium before the second incarnation of the Washington Senators moved there. Oakland Coliseum was a decent place before Mount Davis was added in 1996. Had a view of the mountains, funny both Oakland Coliseum and Angel Stadium built around same time, Athletics add football seats in 1996 to accommodate the Raiders while the Angels eliminated all the football seats after the Rams left for St. Louis in 1995, the renovation at then Anaheim Stadium was in 1997, completed in 1998.
