It’s so nice to have baseball back.
This past offseason hasn’t been easy for baseball fans. The contentious, 99-day lockout nearly ate into the season and did result in a shortened spring training. But in the end, a deal did get done, which means we can all enjoy big-league games again.
The 2022 season is special because it’ll be the first time since 2019 that every stadium is open at full capacity for Opening Day. Baseball is at its best when there’s a full stadium of fans to enjoy it. So, it’s as good a time as ever to break out our For The Win MLB stadium rankings.
Going off the similar — and admittedly subjective — criteria of general atmosphere, design, location, amenities, food and character that we used in 2016 and 2020, we’ve arrived at an updated rankings of MLB ballparks to get ready for the 2022 baseball season.
