Only two ballparks built prior to 1961 remain in Fenway Park (1912) and Wrigley Field (1914), with both stadiums having undergone substantial modernization efforts over more than a century of use. Dodger Stadium (1962) is the third-oldest MLB stadium, with Angel Stadium (1966) and the Kansas City Royals’ Kauffman Stadium (1973) rounding out the five oldest.
MLB’s newest stadium is the Texas Rangers’ Globe Life Field (2020), opening three years after the Atlanta Braves’ Truist Park, the only other ballpark built since 2012. Temporarily playing in Sacramento, the Athletics expect to open their new Las Vegas ballpark in 2028.
