  Truist Field for the Charlotte Knights very deserving of the best list. It has arguably the best view in minor league baseball and one of highest attendance teams in all the minors

  No way you didn’t include Parkview Field in Fort Wayne, Indiana for one of the best ballparks.

  In all the years you’ve talked about minor league stadiums, I’m still shocked you’ve never mentioned the Fort Wayne tincaps. Parkview field is consistently rated as one of the best stadiums in our state of indiana

  The snorting bull in Durham is actually currently in its FOURTH iteration! The original sign from the movie hung in the DBAP concourse but is now in storage. The second sign built was sturdier than the one from the movie, but the second sign was damaged due to violent winds in 2007, during which the forelegs and head were ripped off. The sign was fixed, but they knew they had to replace it. <br><br>The Durham Bulls was named after a tobacco brand. John Green (no the Crash Course one is not a time traveler sadly lol), who owned the JR Green Company, gained success when soldiers from both sides of the Civil War visited by word of mouth. After the Civil War, John sought to create a new tobacco brand, and he was influenced by the advertisement campaign of a mustard company from Durham in the UK. The British company used a bullhead on its mustard labels, so Green copied the appealing packaging and placed a bull image on his tobacco packaging. John faced lawsuits over it, but in the end, he successfully secured the bull as his advertisement, and Durham, NC became the tobacco capital of the US.

  Mirabito is actually a really nice place to catch a game, trains are cool going past left field during the game, good food, cool area in right field

  As a central PA native I will always love the Senators stadium, it offers good parking, a mini golf course, and a solid local favorites for food.

  You missed a true gem. &nbsp;The Dayton Dragons, low-A, has sold out every game since 2000. Thats 9800 fans every game with a true double deck in the middle of downtown Dayton, Ohio. &nbsp;It is the only low-A team with their names on the back of their jersey , and a gem of a feild. Thank you!

  Modern Woodman Park (formerly John O&apos;Donnell Stadium) in Davenport Iowa deserves consideration as one of the best AND weirdest Minor League ball parks. It is located on the Mississippi river next to Centennial Bridge. It has a Ferris wheel outside the left field wall and a unique system of flood protection so the Quad City River Bandits of the High-A Midwest League can continue playing even when the river is out of its banks.

  Gotta give a shoutout to my Fort Wayne Tincaps&apos; Parkview Field. 3 time winner of Ballpark Digest&apos;s best Class-A ballparks award. It opened in 2009 in downtown, and it was a huge upgrade over the previous stadium on the north side of town. I worked concessions there for 3 seasons and it was a joy to come to

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_cOcyZbSC0&amp;t=191">3:11</a> I&apos;m from Louisville and my favorite quirk of Slugger field is that the cheapest seats are right next to the away teams bullpen. The bullpen isnt sectioned off at all, so it&apos;s very easy to just chat with or chirp at the pitchers. I went to a game a few weeks ago where the Indianapolis Indians visited and got a ball after betting with the closer that he couldn&apos;t throw a knuckleball as a strike.

  I was absolutely shocked to not see The Double-A Reading Fightin&apos; Phils&apos; First Energy Stadium on this list ... it&apos;s constantly rated as a top-5 ballpark in the country.
