Stadium Lists: Oldest MLB Stadiums

Bringing this back for now, just trying to change up the posting here. I thought this topic would be neat, because there are 2 REALLY old stadiums, 4 stadiums from the 60s and 70s, then the rest are fairly new.

#10
US Cellular Field
Chicago, IL
1991


#9
Tropicana Field
St. Petersburg, FL
1990


#8
Rodgers Centre
Toronto, ON
1989


#7
Sun Life Stadium
Miami Gardens, FL
1987


#6
Kauffman Stadium
Kansas City, MO
1973

*Note, they upgraded the stadium after the 2008 season

#5
Oakland Coliseum
Oakland, CA
1966


#4
Angels Stadium
Anaheim, CA
1966


#3
Dodgers Stadium
Los Angeles, CA
1962


#2
Wrigley Field
Chicago, IL
1914


#1
Fenway Park
Boston, MA
1912


So there it is. The Marlins are getting a new ballpark for the 2012 season, while the Rays are looking for a place to put one. Boston got the 1999 MLB All-Star game, because they thought that Fenway would be replaced any day now, but it has survived 10 more years.
