6. Arlington, Texas: Rangers Ballpark

Despite several name changes over the years, the home of the Texas Rangers, the Ballpark in Arlington is known by locals as just that - the Ballpark. Natives revere this retro-inspired stadium and its Texas-style stone carvings etched throughout the decor. The home plate, foul poles, and bleachers were all originally part of the old Arlington Stadium, but carry on the tradition much like the sport itself.

7. Chicago: Wrigley Field and U.S. Cellular Field

One of the oldest parks in the country, Wrigley Field is also known as the Friendly Confines. Unlike other franchises, fans and Cubs players don't seem to want a new stadium, so they continue to play in the historic one built in 1914. On the other hand, the White Sox play at U.S. Cellular Field, which opened in 1991, and was renovated between 2001 and 2005 in five phases -- there's even a Rain Room with cool mist for hot summer days.

8. Denver: Coors Field

The mile-high city boasts a ballpark with serious altitude. Constructed in 1995, the Colorado Rockies' Coors Field marks the one mile above sea level mark with a row of purple seats that extend around the entire upper deck. The thin air supposedly increases runs and homeruns by 50 percent, so grab one of the park's fine microbrews, sit back and watch 'em fly.

9. Washington D.C.: Nationals Park

The first LEED-certified major professional sports stadium in the United States, Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. sits near the Anacostia River in the city's Navy Yard. Surprisingly, the Nationals weren't the first to touch base here - the first game ever played in the park was by George Washington University's Colonials in 2008. Another historical moment here includes Randy Johnson's 300th win on June 4, 2009.

10. Los Angeles: Dodgers Stadium

Playing host to eight World Series, Dodgers Stadium was named Best Field in 2003 by Sports Illustrated. The 56,000-seat stadium sits just a few miles east of Hollywood in Los Angeles, California, and is home to 10 no-hitters. In 1982, the park set an all-time Major League attendance record, capping the season with 3,608,881 visitors.It is the third-oldest park in use.
