Tampa Oakland and Toronto are really the only three

I've been to US Cellular and I liked it

The Angels stadium is getting up there in years. I've never been so I have no idea how much it's been renovated, but I could see that as another

Considering Coors Field is now the 3rd oldest in the NL, very few. Tampa and Oakland seem to be the only two urgently needing a replacement. Toronto could use one but Rogers Centre seems functional at least.

Seems like the Angels would get one here soon. 3rd or 4th oldest stadium in the game. I know it was renovated, but that was almost 20 years ago

TB and Oakland are the only two that need a new place.

Just Tampa Bay, honestly.

I love watching games in stadiums that have very unique qualities, and the coliseum in Oakland isn't falling apart or anything.

But Tropicana is an absolute dump and an embarrassment to baseball. It looks like their carpet of a field has AIDS.

Tampa and Oakland are the only ones that need a new stadium. There are some others that need a renovation, but not replacing.

TBH I think only Tampa and Oakland need new stadiums, excluding old stadiums with historical significance (Fenway, Wrigley, Dodger Stadium, etc.)Those places should just be renovated and improved, not replaced. As a baseball fan it was sad to see the house that Ruth built bulldozed for that shopping mall they have now

I kind of like that Tampa's stadium is laughably bad.

I haven't been to angels stadium or whatever they call it in a few years but it's fine. It is similar to the stadium the Phillies play in

The Cell is not interesting and it's upper deck is way too steep. But there's nothing wrong with it in the sense that it's substandard. The mistake was not building it downtown
