One thing unique to baseball is its stadiums. Unlike other sports, field dimensions are not completely regulated. This gives baseball franchises the freedom to make walls as tall as they want, outfields as deep as they want, and foul territories as big as they want. Because of this freedom, baseball stadiums can turn out to be some of the most beautiful and unique facilities in the world. Of course, these wonders of the sports world are rendered quite well in MLB 15 The Show, but there are six that truly stand out.

6. Oriole Park at Camden Yards

While Oriole Park does not have the historic appeal of Fenway or Wrigley, it is still one of the most attractive ballparks in all of baseball. The main reason why it is so appealing in MLB 15 The Show is the quality with which the warehouse behind the stadium was replicated in the game.

It is very detailed, giving Camden Yards an authentic feel. On top of that, the rather short left field wall comes into play on balls hit into deep left field.

5. AT&T Park

Again, like Camden Yards, AT&T Park does not have the historic appeal of some other stadiums. However, it is still a stadium that features unique attractions which are captured very well in The Show.

What jumps out at me immediately is the cola bottle and the glove in left-center field, both of which are re-created in great detail in this game. That's not all, though. The brick wall in right field with the splash counter is a great, unique part of this stadium, which Sony does a great job of rendering to look just as good as it does in reality.

There are multiple standout features of AT&T Park that make it unlike any other stadium, and they are all shown quite well in MLB 15 The Show.

4. Dodger Stadium

When it comes to Dodger Stadium, it is not necessarily a park that features anything that immediately jumps out at you. However, there are multiple nuances that make this one of the most unique parks in all of baseball, and the unique parts are represented well in The Show.

First, the zig-zag roof structures covering the outfield stands. This part of the stadium is immediately recognized by every baseball fan, and if Dodger Stadium does have a major standout feature, those structures are it. The zig-zags are clearly seen in The Show and replicate the real ones very well.

Another part of Dodger stadium that is unique is the seating directly behind home plate. Without a wall there, the fans almost look as though they are practically on the field, which is again a feature that lets you know you are playing at the one and only Dodger Stadium.

3. Busch Stadium

There is one feature in Busch Stadium in this year's version of The Show that makes it superior to almost all the other ballparks.

No, it is not the St. Louis arch in the background, and no it is not all the World Champions flags on top of the scoreboard.

While those are features of the park that are great to see in MLB 15 The Show, it is Ballpark Village that truly sets Busch Stadium apart. The multi-million dollar district just past left-center field is a great sight to see when you fire up a game in St. Louis, and when you add it onto the arch and the pennants, this stadium looks just as impressive as the team that plays in it.

2. Fenway Park

Is there even a need to explain why Fenway is one of the best ballparks in The Show? The big green monster in left, the short right field wall that has a sea of Boston fans behind it, and the non-existent foul ground down the lines are all iconic parts of Fenway Park, and they all greatly impact gameplay when hitting the virtual diamond.

There are not many better feelings than hitting a virtual bomb over the monster (especially when we can't do it in real life). Fenway is just about as unique as it gets, both virtually and in reality, and it is a place that you must play in MLB 15 The Show.

When it comes down to Wrigley and Fenway, it is practically a toss up. Both are historic and iconic ballparks. However, the reason I would put Wrigley over Fenway as the best ballpark in The Show is because this is the last chance we will get to play at the old Wrigley Field.

Since the updates were not made for this game, we get to see the classic Wrigley. Not just the old scoreboard in center field, the outfield bleachers, and the ivy but also some of the great Chicago buildings in the background, and especially the rooftop fans behind the stadium. There are parts of the old historic Wrigley Field that will be lost when the stadium is updated in MLB 16 The Show, and because of that the old Wrigley Field is the best ballpark to play at in MLB 15 The Show.


Every ballpark in baseball is unique, and they are all great to experience in The Show. That being said, these are the best, and most worthy of attention when looked at in MLB 15 The Show. What's your favorite stadium in the game?
