Historic MLB stadiums: 32 former ballparks to track
Gamebook's venue registry includes 32 former MLB home stadiums used from 1909 through 2024: 27 have been demolished, four were converted for another use, and Oakland Coliseum still stands but no longer hosts MLB. This is a useful tracking list, not a claim to include every park that ever staged a major-league game.

What this historic MLB stadium list includes
This page covers 32 former MLB home parks in Gamebook's venue registry. They span 1909 through the Athletics' last Oakland Coliseum season in 2024. Each one served as a regular home for at least one MLB club.
It is a curated tracking list, not a complete count of every major-league venue. Retrosheet's records also include earlier parks, temporary homes, neutral-site games, international series, and one-off fields that are outside this page's scope.
Demolished, converted, or no longer MLB
Twenty-seven parks in this list have been demolished. Four remain in another form or use: the Astrodome, Montreal's Olympic Stadium, Globe Life Park in Arlington, and Turner Field. Oakland Coliseum is listed on its own because it still stands but stopped hosting MLB after the 2024 season.
A park can still count in your baseball history after its last MLB game or demolition. The useful fact is whether you attended a game there, not whether the building remains open today.
A replacement stadium is different from a renamed stadium
A new building is a separate park in a ballpark passport. The original Yankee Stadium and the current Yankee Stadium are two physical venues, just as Comiskey Park and Rate Field are different places.
A sponsor or name change does not create a new venue. Riverfront Stadium and Cinergy Field refer to the same building. Jacobs Field and Progressive Field also refer to one current Cleveland park, so a visit under each name still counts as one physical ballpark.
How to rebuild visits to a former ballpark
Start with an old ticket, scorecard, photo, calendar entry, or the people who attended with you. The date and teams are often enough to find the official game and final score. If the park changed names, search both the name you remember and the other names in the table.
Once you identify the game, save the park, score, section, row, seat, companions, photos, and one note about the day. Mark uncertain details as unknown instead of guessing.
- Ticket or scorecard: best source for the exact date and seat.
- Photo details: useful for the date, location, and companions.
- Team schedule or Retrosheet log: useful for confirming the matchup and score.
- Park name history: useful when a sponsor changed but the building did not.
Track former and current MLB parks together
A 30-park checklist answers which current MLB homes you have visited. A full personal park count can go further by keeping former homes in the same record.
Gamebook ties each attended game to its physical venue. That lets an old Kingdome or Shea Stadium visit remain part of your totals while you keep working through today's parks.
Common questions
How many former MLB stadiums are in this list?
There are 32 former MLB home parks in Gamebook's curated 1909–2024 list: 27 demolished, four converted, and one that no longer hosts MLB.
Does this include every former MLB ballpark?
No. It covers former regular home parks in Gamebook's current venue registry. It leaves out many earlier parks, temporary homes, neutral sites, international series, and one-off venues.
Do the old and current Yankee Stadium count as two parks?
Yes. They are separate physical venues, so a visit to each counts as a different ballpark.
Do Jacobs Field and Progressive Field count as two parks?
No. They are two names for the same Cleveland ballpark, so visits under both names count as one physical venue.
Does a demolished stadium still count in a ballpark passport?
Yes. If you attended a game there, the park remains part of your personal baseball history even after demolition.
Why is Oakland Coliseum not listed as demolished?
The building still stands. It is listed as no longer MLB because the Athletics' final season there ended in 2024.
Can Gamebook track visits to former MLB stadiums?
Yes. Add the game you attended and Gamebook ties it to the physical venue, teams, players, score, seat, companions, photos, and notes.
