I was supposed to post this the day before the playoffs started but forgot, so figured the day before the World Series starts would be a fitting substitute.
We are counting down the best ballparks in MLB throughout the 2025 season.
Here is the last edition #1240637.
Finally down to #1.
PNC Park- Pittsburgh Pirates
Year opened: 2001
Capacity: 38,747
It's time for the World Series. Sadly, MLB's best ballpark likely won't be seeing World Series games any time soon, but despite its home team's futility, it is still an absolute gem. I have seen 2 games at this park and it is amazing. Intimate park with views of the Allegheny River, the three sister bridges (Roberto Clemente Bridge, Andy Warhol Bridge, Rachel Carson Bridge) and the city skyline. They did an amazing job with CF and RF leaving so much open space for the beautiful view. Outside the stadium you have a number of bars and restaurants and the incredible riverwalk. They maintained a classic ballpark feel with modern amenities. Walking over the Clemente bridge to get to the game adds to the atmosphere and experience. I highly recommend visiting PNC Park, even though the Pirates suck.
That concludes our MLB ballpark rankings for the 2025 season. Thanks for following along from 28 all the way to 1.
Sats for all,
