Age of MLB stadiums...

Thought this was interesting... Only two stadiums were built before the 60's, Fenway and Wrigley.

Also interesting... PNC is in its 25th season. Three Rivers was torn down after 30 seasons. To me, PNC still feels "new", while Three Rivers was feeling tired to me by the early 80s when it was just over 10 yrs old.

Connie Mack Stadium was a dump when I saw the Phillies play in the sixties. RFK had seen better days too.

What's amazing to me is that Coors Field is the third oldest stadium in the NL behind Wrigley and Dodger.

It hasn’t been the same since Ben Affleck and Jeremy Renner robbed it. They took down the cathedral of Boston.

A great throw away line "Last motherf*cker who robbed the Red Sox like this was Jack Clark."... Only true Sox fans understand the pain and truth in that line

It still feels odd to me that both Turner Field and The Ballpark in Arlington have been replaced already - both feel like they would still be newish if in use today for baseball.
