The document summarizes several major league baseball stadiums. New Yankee Stadium opened in 2009 and resembles the original 1923 Yankee Stadium design. Fenway Park is one of two remaining classic ballparks built over 100 years ago and has many unique quirky features due to renovations. Wrigley Field is the other classic ballpark still in use, known for its ivy-covered walls and being the last to install lights. Busch Stadium is the home of the St. Louis Cardinals and hosted the 2009 All-Star Game. Coors Field is noted for its high elevation of one mile above sea level, resulting in balls traveling further than at lower elevations.

4.  Opened in 2009, the new stadium is meant to
be very similar in design to the original
Yankee Stadium, both in its original 1923
state and its post-renovation state in 1976.
The exterior resembles the original look of
the 1923 Yankee Stadium. The interior, a
modern ballpark with greater space and
increased amenities, features a playing field
that closely mimics the 1988-2008
dimensions of the old park.

6. Fenway Park, Boston

7.  One of two “classic” ballparks still in use
today. Because of the ballpark's age and
constrained location in the dense Fenway–
Kenmore neighborhood, the park has had
many renovations and additions over the
years not initially envisioned, resulting in
unique, quirky features, including "The
Triangle," "Pesky's Pole", and most notably
the famous Green Monster in left field.

9. Wrigley Field, Chicago

10.  The other “classic” ballpark still in use. Wrigley
Field is nicknamed The Friendly Confines, a
phrase popularized by "Mr. Cub", Hall of Famer
Ernie Banks. The current capacity is 41,009,[2]
making Wrigley Field the 10th-smallest actively
used ballpark. Wrigley is known for its ivy
covered brick outfield wall, the unusual wind
patterns off Lake Michigan, the iconic red
marquee over the main entrance, the hand
turned scoreboard, and for being the last major
league park to have lights installed for play after
dark.

12. Busch Stadium, St. Louis

13.  Busch Stadium (also referred to informally as
"New Busch Stadium" or "Busch Stadium III") is
the home of the St. Louis Cardinals, of MLB.
The stadium hosted the 2009 Major League
Baseball All-Star Game on July 14, 2009.

15. Coors Field, Denver

16.  Coors Field is a baseball venue located in
Denver, Colorado It is the home field of Major
League Baseball's Colorado Rockies. While
most of the seats in Coors Field are dark
green, the seats in the 20th row of the upper
deck are purple. This marks the city's one
mile elevation point. It is by far the highest
park in the majors, and designers knew that
the low air density at such a high elevation
would result in balls traveling further than in
other parks.
