The reason for the size of Chukchansi Park (Fresno Grizzlies), is because it was built for Triple-A baseball.. but the whole upheaval of the Minor League system before the 2021 season, we were demoted to Single-A.
The Grizzlies were home to AAA team's franchises that won World Series 6 of ten years from 2010-2019. Three years for the Giants, one year for the Cubs, one year for the Astros and one year for the Nationals. If you want to win a a World Series bring your AAA franchise to Fresno.
Actually, we never had the Cubs AAA team. They have had the Iowa Cubs for a very long time. Fresno is now a Single-A Rockies affiliate, and have been doing quite well this season.
Yes, the Grizzlies were a part of their parent club's 2010, 2012, 2014, and 2017 championships. The Grizzlies also won the PCL and Triple-A Championships in 2015.
I'm from southern California and the 66ers are the team down there, but now that I live here in fresno I love the grizzly stadium. It has an amazing view and the atmosphere is nice. Also good to see a ballpark where the outfield just doesn't end in dirt or a lot
The original Grizzlies owners were concert/entertainment promoters and convinced the city to foolishly build a stadium that would also be a concert venue. It cost about twice as much as Raleys field in Sac-town that was built at the same time. Then the SaveMart Center was built on the Fresno State campus (you know, indoors and air conditioned) thus no real need for an outdoor venue downtown where no one lives... Now it's just an overgrown albatross on the city's tight budget.
The Chuk still draws great attendance. The demotion from AAA to A was MLBs idea, not ours. We had no choice to take the Single-A team or face having no team at all. Unfortunately, that meant that Lancaster, CA. had to lose theirs.
I think there was a new AAA team in Sugarland, Texas for the Astros. This meant a AAA team had to get demoted. Fresno wanted to keep their AAA team and not get demoted to low A, but MLB threatened them that it was that or nothing.
Hey man, I work on the grounds crew at Segra Stadium and I really appreciate everything you said abt it. We really try our best all day every day to make sure the field is in great condition!
College baseball division 1 ballparks woould be an excellent opportunity but go by conferences because youll be doing a very long video. Korean baseball league would be another great vid.
That's basically true about Vi-sal-ia They were the Visalia Oaks before the Rawhide. The stadium was called Recreation Park. With the renovations, excellent seats and ambiance
Love Hammond Stadium visited for Twins spring training about 6 years ago. Watched Sano on a practice field nailing the batters eye again and again and again.
It's also the smallest professional baseball stadium. It only seats around 1400. Great place to watch a game, you are right on top of the field. Home plate to the backstop is about 20 feet.
I love the video! One correction though: Atrium Health Ballpark in Kannapolis is NOT on the site of the old Intimidators Stadium. Intimidators Stadium is a solid 10 minute drive away and about to be demolished for an industrial park. Atrium Health Ballpark was built near the site of an old textile mill in downtown Kannapolis. It truly is a gem!
I would love for you to do the Frontier League, Atlantic League, & American Association Stadiums! I love all of your baseball ballpark videos! Keep up the great work!!!
Great video. One correction, The Kannapolis Cannonballers field was built in a completely new site. The old intimidators stadium was a few miles away (and was terrible).
I agree about Lake Elsinore Diamond - great looking stadium, has to be one of the nicest in the lower minors. And CA League sees tons of future stars, highly recommended!
Good video! How about covering the NCAA Division-I ballparks in the future? Since some college baseball programs are better-financed than others, there should be quite a range of sizes and styles.
it would be cool to see you do the Frontier League Stadiums or the American Association Or really any independent League most of them have some pretty cool parks
Fiscalini Field in San Bernadino, California used to be low A San Bernadino Spirit. Now the UC San Bernadino Baseball Team plays there. I played there a couple of times in the 90s...I even hit a homer over the RF wall!
Excite Stadium in San Jose is a great place. I know it as Muni and it is an old WPA project. The building outside the outfield fence is where the San Jose Sharks practice. It is old but cool. They have an awesome out BBQ down the third base line.
Have you covered Joseph L Bruno stadium before in any of your videos? home of the tri-city valleycats (Short-season A club for the Astros up until last year). Great park!
Quoting Neil D.Tyson is a pure stroke of genius. No pun intended. I didn't know he felt so passionate about helmets or nachos. Your best content yet. You took obscure stadiums, mostly regionally interesting and actually made it fun. Bruv, love your content. Keep on posting!
You could go on doing these for ever! Rookie leagues etc. The Australian Baseball League, goodness knows how many other national baseball leagues there are!
Do Frontier League!!!!! Would love to see him highlight Bosse Field in Evansville, Indiana. Third oldest stadium behind Wrigley Field and Fenway Park and home to one of the most famous quotes in any sports movie!
You should do the independent leagues next. (MLB Partner Leagues: American Association, Frontier, Atlantic, Pioneer | Independent Leagues: United Shore, Empire, Pacific, Pecos) Have you done the Mexican league yet? Just some ideas. Keep up the great work!
The Flying Tigers are in honor of the Flying Tigers trained in Lakeland before going off to fight in the Pacific theater in WWII/ And, of course, also that the Detroit Tigers have trained in Lakeland since 1934.
I’m bias but I love the SJ Giants field. It’s old and it’s got history. What really is EXCITING is the beer batter. They choose a player on the opposing team if he strikes out all beer is 50% off for the next 15 minutes. It’s a great day when he strikes out 4 times before the 7th. Then it turns into the apple juice batter.
Rodger Dean Stadium was built to replace Palm Beach Municipal Stadium and is about 15 miles or more north of West Palm Beach yet still in Palm Beach County Florida.
What happened to Dutchess Stadium, home of the Hudson Valley Renegades? Always felt that was a great ballpark, decent food, and a nice Treeline outfield? So what that it’s across the highway from a prison?
The cannonballs logo is a reference to hometown legend dale esrnhardt. They changed up the name from intimidators because they no longer wanted to pay the trademark.
The Florida state league Carolina league and California league were all high a league's and Mid west and South Atlantic leagues were low a ball but the baseball commissioner's pen stroke changed everything
I do enjoy your videos a lot. Love the witty banter you include, as well as a small background knowledge on each ground. Could you do the football teams of British Professional Football Clubs (England Premier-League 2. Scotland Premier - League 2. Wales Premier - North and South. NI Premier - League 2) as well as the Rugby England Premier and Pro 14/16
Atrium Ballpark (Kannapolis) was not built on the site of the old Intimidator's stadium. It was built downtown. The old park was on the outskirts and was sold.
Great video and nice look at all the ballparks. I do have to point out one thing though which is that you pronounced Tortugas wrong. It is pronounced “Tor-TU-gus”.
Can you do the Pioneer league? They used to be Rookie League Advance until MiLB said no more. Now they are an independent league partner league of mlb. Ogden raptors have the highest attendance and one of the best backdrops in all of baseball.
A Mexican mental hospital. You do come up with some winners. I love your sense of humor and your videos. You cover things very few others do. Keep the videos coming.

@@911NightRanger My bad, the Cubs AAA franchise was not in Fresno, 5 out of 10 years ain't bad though.

The Grizzlies also won the PCL and Triple-A Championships in 2015.
Thanks for highlighting all 120 MiLB stadiums. Pretty certain no one else has done this before, so keep up the creative work!
Check out post2post productions. They do stadiums arenas, logos and more. Including ranking videos.
The Fresno Grizzlies ballpark was once a Triple-A park, but they dropped all the way to Low-A.
I'm from southern California and the 66ers are the team down there, but now that I live here in fresno I love the grizzly stadium. It has an amazing view and the atmosphere is nice. Also good to see a ballpark where the outfield just doesn't end in dirt or a lot
so did the city LOL

I live less than 10 miles from the Visalia stadium it is very odd but also a fun experience
1:10 fun fact about the name Mudcats is that it is actually a term for a specific type of Catfish.
College baseball division 1 ballparks woould be an excellent opportunity but go by conferences because youll be doing a very long video. Korean baseball league would be another great vid.
The Cannon Ballers' stadium is actually about 4 miles from the old Intimidators stadium in Kannapolis.
The old ballpark is scheduled to be demolished later this year according to Ballpark Digest.
great job! all of your work is spot on! quick precise and to the point! fresno grizzlies were AAA FOR 25 years. now low A
I’ve really enjoyed seeing all the MiLB stadiums from my house! Thank you!
That's basically true about
Vi-sal-ia
They were the Visalia Oaks before the Rawhide. The stadium was called Recreation Park. With the renovations, excellent seats and ambiance
Publix Park, the home of the Lakeland Flying Tigers, actually underwent a massive renovation and looks absolutely incredible now
Love Hammond Stadium visited for Twins spring training about 6 years ago. Watched Sano on a practice field nailing the batters eye again and again and again.
It was great to see my hometown park highlighted (and first!). Thanks!
The rawhide stadium is about 50 years old, one of the oldest minor league teams in California, started in 1946
It's also the smallest professional baseball stadium. It only seats around 1400. Great place to watch a game, you are right on top of the field. Home plate to the backstop is about 20 feet.
@@rayfisher4185 thanks for the info, definitely a cool park

I've seen many ball games in Grainger Stadium. It's old and tiny but a fantastic place to watch a ballgame.
I love these quick breakdowns, they're amazing.
Great video. One correction, The Kannapolis Cannonballers field was built in a completely new site. The old intimidators stadium was a few miles away (and was terrible).

Very cool Baseball Stadiums
Good video! How about covering the NCAA Division-I ballparks in the future? Since some college baseball programs are better-financed than others, there should be quite a range of sizes and styles.
The Greenjackets stadium is amazing. They are now the Braves low-A as well which is a great change.
it would be cool to see you do the Frontier League Stadiums or the American Association
Or really any independent League most of them have some pretty cool parks
I was thinking the same thing. There are a lot of cool Indy league parks!
Northwoods league Lots of historic parks
Pioneer League
Fiscalini Field in San Bernadino, California used to be low A San Bernadino Spirit. Now the UC San Bernadino Baseball Team plays there. I played there a couple of times in the 90s...I even hit a homer over the RF wall!
I love the Storm stadium. Not the nicest, but usually very fun. Firework night and the Grass berm left of 1st base is always awesome as well.
Love to see my hometown Park on the thumbnail !!
Excite Stadium in San Jose is a great place. I know it as Muni and it is an old WPA project. The building outside the outfield fence is where the San Jose Sharks practice. It is old but cool. They have an awesome out BBQ down the third base line.
Im from the Detroit area so a Tigers fan and went to a spring training game down in Lakeland and man it was a great ballpark
Have you covered Joseph L Bruno stadium before in any of your videos? home of the tri-city valleycats (Short-season A club for the Astros up until last year). Great park!
Love your videos!
I’ve been to 1 game at SRP Park to watch the Green Jackets play the River Dogs. The whole place is amazing.
Luv me some Grainger Stadium in Kinston. Going to the old park after missing out last year.
Joker Marchant stadium torn down their old grandstands and renovated years ago and now it looks really good
Your commentary is improving 😂 I especially liked that jab you took at Detroit
Quoting Neil D.Tyson is a pure stroke of genius. No pun intended. I didn't know he felt so passionate about helmets or nachos. Your best content yet. You took obscure stadiums, mostly regionally interesting and actually made it fun. Bruv, love your content. Keep on posting!

Great video! You should do the Northwoods League, a great independent league in the upper midwest.
Would love to see you do Intercounty Baseball League stadiums
That hotel or apartment behind left field is pretty cool in Augusta
I am from and raised in the Central Valley California and Chuckchansi Park is awesome to watch a game . I was pissed when they went to single a but it
You could go on doing these for ever! Rookie leagues etc. The Australian Baseball League, goodness knows how many other national baseball leagues there are!
Wow! Where did you find that old footage of Joker Stadium(Flying Tigers)??? It was renovated close to 5 years ago😂😂😂😂
Do Frontier League!!!!! Would love to see him highlight Bosse Field in Evansville, Indiana. Third oldest stadium behind Wrigley Field and Fenway Park and home to one of the most famous quotes in any sports movie!
I'm just annoyed that the Lexington Legends lost their Low-A status. The team still exists but it's now in an independent league.
And now they have a new name
Same thing with the Charleston dirty birds 😔
It happens.
Ray Winder Field was a really good historical park until it was torn down in 2012 or so. Built in the late early part of the 1900's.
Been to the Mudcats this pass july absolutely beautiful ball park full hse was the 4th would go back again
You should do the independent leagues next. (MLB Partner Leagues: American Association, Frontier, Atlantic, Pioneer | Independent Leagues: United Shore, Empire, Pacific, Pecos) Have you done the Mexican league yet? Just some ideas. Keep up the great work!
You should do a best stadium features video. Largest videoboard, steepest seats, etc
10:47 The actual name of the town is Port Saint Lucie. The team shortens it to the Saint Lucie Mets dropping Port.
The Flying Tigers are in honor of the Flying Tigers trained in Lakeland before going off to fight in the Pacific theater in WWII/ And, of course, also that the Detroit Tigers have trained in Lakeland since 1934.

Hell yeah first time watching one of your uploads subscribed 25 seconds in
Can you do a video on the American Association of Baseball ballparks?
up next, Frontier League of Professional Baseball stadiums
South Carolina for the GreenJackets
The Pelicans Stadium was used for season 3 of Eastbound and Down for HBO!
I live in Philly and I have NEVER heard anyone call Delaware, “The Big Smoke”
Would love to see regular single A ball parks
Rodger Dean Stadium was built to replace Palm Beach Municipal Stadium and is about 15 miles or more north of West Palm Beach yet still in Palm Beach County Florida.
Amazing work and funny, as usual!
You should do the LMB stadiums they got some nice ones down in Mexico
That’s a pretty old Google Earth image of Joker Marchant Stadium, because it doesn’t look like that
So are you doing spring training stadiums next?
What happened to Dutchess Stadium, home of the Hudson Valley Renegades? Always felt that was a great ballpark, decent food, and a nice Treeline outfield? So what that it’s across the highway from a prison?
The cannonballs logo is a reference to hometown legend dale esrnhardt. They changed up the name from intimidators because they no longer wanted to pay the trademark.
Can you please do one on all stadiums with the scottish league system from league 2 to the Premier ship.
Love seeing the one I work at! Go mudcats
The Florida state league Carolina league and California league were all high a league's and Mid west and South Atlantic leagues were low a ball but the baseball commissioner's pen stroke changed everything
Any plans to do the MLB Draft League?
North Augusta South Carolina not nc
TD ballpark is so nice right in my hometown Dunedin 8:50
you should do Frontier League stadiums (And other indy ball league stadiums)
I do enjoy your videos a lot. Love the witty banter you include, as well as a small background knowledge on each ground. Could you do the football teams of British Professional Football Clubs (England Premier-League 2. Scotland Premier - League 2. Wales Premier - North and South. NI Premier - League 2) as well as the Rugby England Premier and Pro 14/16
You should do a video of the south korea league, dominican league, and cuban leauge
i have a suggestion for a video and that is to do the draft leagues, my local ball team is a member of one
Atrium Ballpark (Kannapolis) was not built on the site of the old Intimidator's stadium. It was built downtown. The old park was on the outskirts and was sold.
Would like to see a video of the KBO stadiums please.
VIDEO IDEA: Your favorite college baseball stadiums. Jackie Robinson field of UCLA is my favorite! Go Bruins!
Bay care ballpark is amazing (it’s in the city I live in, I live 5 min away from the stadium)
Glad to see my hometown of Jupiter and Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium
Spring training stadiums should be next now that you mentioned the topic. Good commentary by the way
Great video and nice look at all the ballparks. I do have to point out one thing though which is that you pronounced Tortugas wrong. It is pronounced “Tor-TU-gus”.
what do you use to edit your videos
Can you do the Pioneer league? They used to be Rookie League Advance until MiLB said no more. Now they are an independent league partner league of mlb. Ogden raptors have the highest attendance and one of the best backdrops in all of baseball.
Do Mexican Baseball Stadiums (include LMB (summer league) and LMP (winter league) because they all have incredible stadiums) 🙌
NASCAR tracks sometime soon please.
Love how you start with the Tampa skyline 😏
Can you do one on the Pioneer League?
What happened to the high-A stadium video? Has it been privated?
Are you going to cover the MLB Partner Leagues. I want you to do the Pioneer Baseball League first 😊.
You should look at Atlantic League stadiums
What's credit music in this video please ? I love it. 🙂
Could you do Frontier league Ballparks
0:16, wow, never too bright to start with a mistake; North Augusta is in SOUTH Carolina, across the state line from Georgia.
Rancho Cucamonga Quakes stadium is locally known as the Epicenter
Spring Training stadiums?
A Mexican mental hospital. You do come up with some winners. I love your sense of humor and your videos. You cover things very few others do. Keep the videos coming.
Do the High A stadiums too.
