86. Music City Park (V.4) - smonee

Welcome to the new home of your Nashville Stars! This colorful, buzzing park is a great match for Music City.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

86. PNG Ballpark - Laracco

PNG simultaneously channels the feel of a barn and an old-timey stadium.
The end result is a vibrant yet cozy park with plenty of flavor. Yum.

85. The North Pole - mo2179

I like to think about the moment this creator decided to commit to this build. “Yep. I’m doing it.”
And it works - particularly the view from home plate, which is extremely pleasing to the eye. The implementation of various brick builds is done impeccably well. I will say, there’s not as much snow as one might expect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

84. Los Angeles Coliseum

A well-made rendition of USC’s sprawling coliseum, where undergrads fight to the death against lions and captured professors from Pepperdine.

83. Silzer Field - WhoCanItBeMeow 
Toeing the line between a picturesque Minor League park and a cozy Major League park, Silzer Field employs the best use of a bridge tunnel to date. Adding to the atmosphere is the well-integrated bay, which brings the distinct feel of an east coast city. The multitude of electronic scoreboards in left field detract from the “pureness” of the experience, but this is a strong park nonetheless. This would be an excellent home park for an east coast based Minor League team.

82. King Field - Laracco
Shades of blue create a distinct look for this modern park. Creative seating provides excellent views from across the ballpark, as city skyline pierces through the backdrop. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

81. War Memorial Stadium - Guyoncontroller
This expertly designed field is the shooting location of The Natural, located in Buffalo, New York. Let’s see if we can hit the light-tower!
Side note: would anyone be vehemently opposed to fictional players being unlockable in Diamond Dynasty? Roy Hobbs, Benny “the jet” Rodriguez, Henry Rowengartner, Ricky Vaughn, Pablo Sanchez!? Tell me you wouldn’t want to slam homers with a 94 diamond Hamilton Porter card!

80. Red Rooster Field
Not to be confused with Rooster Mill Park, this ‘Rooster’ named field channels the soul of Camden Yards and adds a southern flare. Classy, visually pleasing, and a tad rustic - this is a swell stadium for a small market expansion or minor league team in a state like Arkansas or New Mexico.













 

79. PLNU Field - Retinoscopic

The “Cactus Prod, AZ” of Florida, this timeless oceanside ballpark could have existed in any time, any era. A lovely place for a breeze and an exhibition.








 

 

 

 

 

78. Wintrust Field at High Armour Park - Laracco
An outstanding modern ballpark primed for a Chicago MLB franchise. This park is sturdy, pretty, and realistic. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

77.  Forest Heights Field - Laracco
A beautiful park with a nostalgic look, this field fuses elements of Polo Grounds and Tiger Stadium, and the result is wonderful.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

76. Park Lane Ballpark
A delightful neighborhood field surrounded by suburbs, the attention to detail of the surrounding city is simply extraordinary. While other “simpler” neighborhood parks get much of the downloads and publicity, Park Lane is a heavyweight of its genre, and well worth one of the thirty stadium slots.

75. Philly Coliseum - bestofdawest66

Beautifully constructed, symmetrical, and dramatic, this park suits the city of brotherly love. Philly Coliseum has the makings of an instant classic. Check for newer versions in the vault, available now. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

74. Tropicana Park
This reborn Tropicana Park is a vibrant, visually pleasing, oxygenated park. The real stunner is the roof, which was designed by French architect John’tu Doubais. He is a douche, but he is incredibly talented. This is a wonderful park for the Tampa Bay Rays - it is leagues - LEAGUES - beyond the current warehouse that shares the Tropicana name. This is outstanding work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

73. Valley Lake - Copy_That_Koppe
Nature speaks to us all doesn’t it? This field captures the sublime. This field is far less busy than many of the bustling behemoths, but it’s no less wonderful. Due to its simplicity, and the relative ease in which it was likely created (compared to more complex modern fields), perhaps this ranking is too high.  But take a step onto the field at Valley Lake, and this ranking may seem too low. (For a version with a 4673-person capacity, try the version by Al_Pickles)

72. Boyd Field, Las Vegas, Nevada - WhoCanItBeMeow

One of the more “subtle” Las Vegas creations, this field uses beautiful brickwork and large stone columns to craft a stylish, dignified ballpark. To great effect, the architects used concrete framing to create “window” views of the city beyond. This is a fine ballpark. For a cultivar seeking a ‘Vegas’ stadium that is less bold and more refined, this is one of the elite Las Vegas ballparks of 2023.

Barren ridiculousness. Getch’rr Cracker Jacks here!   (…by the bulk)

69. Weirs Beach Ballpark - Tuclox
An outstanding oceanside ballpark, Weirs Beach is alive. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

68. Motor City Brewing Field - StephenAParker

Taking inspiration from Comerica Park, this cozy, slightly-funky park is a hitters paradise — that is, unless you hit the ball the deep left center, where the cavernous triangle mauls would-be home runs. Overall, this is a well-designed, aesthetically pleasing ballpark. It is clean, professional, with a splash of Detroit blue-collar grit. Motor City Brewing Field is not lobster and wine over a white tablecloth table — it is a damn good steak on a warm summer night, with a glass of cold pale ale.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

67. Fort Derby
Channeling the home run derby in Triple Play 2001, this field in the mountains of the French Alps provides plenty of home run targets. A colorful park with a distinct atmosphere, Fort Derby bursts onto the stadium scene with pizazz and confidence. For a version with pulled back fences and low elevation, try Fort Derby pitchers park.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

66. Patagonia Park - KierogiJones
Whether or not Patagonia would ever sponsor a stadium is a debate for another day, but props for alliteration and for choosing a brand that makes sense with the city (I’m sure Nature’s Path Cereal Park was a tempting runner up). Patagonia Park is big, stylish, modern. Its artistic architecture helps it stand out from its more symmetrical, cookie cutter contemporaries, and the creator's ability to utilize shade, while also giving fans snapshots of the city, are fantastic design choice. This is arguably the best Portland ballpark of 2023.
