Major League Baseball Stadiums:
Chronology (by decade)

Updated: (Originally posted: Sept. 24, 2003 (on Baseball home page.)


Thumbnail quick previews: Just move the cursor over any of the links to stadium pages, without clicking. Be careful where you move the mouse!

Explanation

The four tables below provides a chronological depiction of each team's stadiums, showing the year when they first played in them except where space is lacking. The original stadium names are links to separate pages for each respective stadium, triggering thumbnail versions of the stadium diagram when you roll the mouse over the name. In general, subsequent stadium names are only hyperlinks if the name change corresponded to a major renovation. Years in [brackets] indicate when major renovations were made, and in some cases those are hyperlinks that trigger distinct thumbnail versions of the stadium diagrams. The first two tables correspond to the original 16 major league franchises, and the latter two tables correspond to the 14 expansion franchises, plus the two original franchises that changed their name and relocated. Each franchise's history is represented on a single line, with relocations to new cities indicated by vertical red dashes. (There are no longer separate rows for the Browns/Orioles, the Senators/Twins, the Senators/Rangers, and the Pilots/Brewers.)
