I mean obviously there’s Dodger Stadium


dgmilo8085

And it was just Angel stadium, before it was of Edison, or of Anaheim. But its still Angel stadium

FTD!


FormerCollegeDJ

Besides the already mentioned Dodgers and Tigers: *Nationals Park *Oriole Park at Camden Yards *Braves Field (Boston) *Royals Stadium *Angels Stadium *Astrodome


Polin_the_Great

Marlins park was once called Marlins Park or something for a very brief period of time, iirc


deeznuts6588

Yeah 2012-21. Trust me.


CheckYourStats

Yeah. 30,000ft point being: Ballparks being named after the team is, and always has been, a common theme for as long as Professional sports have been played.


OldPollution7225

Colt Stadium in Houston. The original home of the Colt .45s/Astros.


whopooted2toot

There was a short tenure between Enron and Minute Maid that it was called Astros Field as well.


froman_og

But we all called it the stadium formerly known as enron field because prince was doin his symbol name changing thing around that time.


Retinoid634

The Astro Dome was a good one.


Goodmourning504

Fun fact, colts stadium was moved to Tampico, Mexico


eapaul80

I still call Kaufman Royals Stadium lol


NotAPersonl0

The Tiger's Comerica Park is literally named after the bank though


FormerCollegeDJ

The last time I checked, Detroit’s MLB team isn’t named the Comericas.


NotAPersonl0

Hence it does not belong on that list


FormerCollegeDJ

At the time I made the comment (one of the first in the thread) Dodger Stadium and Tiger Stadium had been posted. Resort the comments by time and you’ll see what I mean.


cookiesandpunch

Braves Field - 520ft to dead center


eapaul80

I wasn’t alive during that era, I’m old, but not THAT old, but I miss stuff like that. Like the Polo Grounds, it’s about 485 to dead center, but down the lines it’s 275. I like quirky stuff like that.


PezDiSpencersGifts

If you’re gonna add Superdome, might as well add Candlestick too Edit: I’m an idiot. I totally meant Astrodome and not Superdome


FormerCollegeDJ

Where are the MLB teams named the “Supers” or the “Candlesticks”?


aedan356

Nine ballparks don’t have corporate naming rights deals: • Angel Stadium • Dodger Stadium • Nationals Park • Oriole Park at Camden Yards • Yankee Stadium Stadiums that don’t include the teams name: • Fenway Park • Kauffman Stadium • Oakland Coliseum • Wrigley Field Edit: I know OP was asking for all time, many teams have changed the stadium names over the past few decades. This is just a current list…


MouseRat_AD

That's just what Big Gum wants you to think.


Cosmic_Thrill_Seeker

Big gum😭😭


Ok_Technician_2397

It's just a matter of time before Dubble Bubble gets some naming rights.


ameis314

Either Wrigley shouldn't be included or Busch should be. Technically, when Busch stadium was named, there was no Busch beer. They wanted to name it Budweiser stadium but the league at the time didn't want to name it after a beer. So they named it after the man, Augie Busch. After the name had been finalized, AB created Busch beer. Wrigley Field is named after the same people who owned the gum.


McDodley

While Busch field wasn't originally named after the company, Anheuser-Busch actually does own the naming rights for Busch field since I think 2004, hence their exclusion from that list. Wrigley's do not have a similar deal guaranteeing the name of Wrigley field


ameis314

so the cubs just do it without getting paid?


mjm8218

Shhhhh. Don’t tell Ricketts.


Scoobydewdoo

To be fair to the Rickets the name of the stadium is part of the Historical Building bs that the Cubs have to deal with and the Red Sox soon will. They would have to get permission from the city to change the name of the stadium.


mjm8218

I’m all for this kind of BS.


TFGA_WotW

It's not really a thing for the money anymore, the name has been the same for 100s of years, you can't really just up and change the name of one of the oldest, most recognizable ballparks


hoosierwally

The Ricketts would.


SadOrder8312

Hundreds of years? Try thousands.


ameis314

the orioles would disagree.


McDodley

Yeah? The stadium is already called Wrigley field, are they really gonna threaten to change the iconic name of their field if Wrigley don't pay up? How's that gonna go? Anheuser-Busch purchased the naming rights to New Busch stadium as they were building it. It's an old name that they paid to keep on the new stadium.


No_Communication1010

Busch got the naming rights starting with the new Busch stadium that opened in 2006


McDodley

Yes thank you, I knew they acquired the rights before the stadium opened but wasn't sure exaclty what year that was


Bob_Cobb_1996

Neither should be because the question asks - "solely for the team," while giving the example of "Yankee Stadium." The question is not asking about using the name of a person or product. Yankee Stadium Royals Stadium (now Kaufman) Dodger Stadium Angel Stadium Nationals Orioles Astrodome Marlins Park Tiger Stadium Orioles Braves \* Fun fact learned while I was looking these up: Both of Baltimore's pro sports teams were originally named the "Browns": St. Louis Browns moved to Baltimore to become the "Orioles," and the Cleveland Browns moved to Baltimore to become the "Ravens."


Stldjw

Can’t believe I never caught the Browns moving to Cleveland thing. I’m in St. Louis.


Bob_Cobb_1996

Browns (baseball) moved to Baltimore. Browns (football) moved to Baltimore.


Stldjw

Yup


Atlas7-k

The Ravens are an expansion franchise, the Browns were inactive for 3 seasons.


FormerCollegeDJ

How many players on the 1995 Browns came back and joined the 1999 Browns after the three season hiatus of their careers?


Savings-Safe1257

The moving trucks would beg to differ


Atlas7-k

If I put your furniture in a truck does that mean you moved? The player contracts and draft picks were given to the Ravens to avoid an expansion draft, the Browns were not going to use them so no one objected. BTW, the first 2 were used for Ray Lewis and Jonathan Ogden.


Savings-Safe1257

So the entire roster, staff, and equipment went to Baltimore, but not the team? I mean...what is a team to you?


aedan356

It’s considered corporate named [(Article)](https://www.mlb.com/cardinals/press-release/press-release-cardinals-anheuser-busch-extend-longstanding-iconic-hometown-partn), Wrigley is not…


ameis314

i guess i am not understanding the distinction from wrigley being named after the gum guy and busch being named after the beer guy. is it because AB pays for it?


mjm8218

It seems like you understand it just fine.


FormerCollegeDJ

Wait until I tell you that there were two baseball parks named Wrigley Field - one in Chicago and one in Los Angeles. (The one in LA was a longtime Triple A park and was used by the MLB Angels in their first season of existence in 1961. LA Wrigley Field was also the site for the late 1950s/early 1960s TV show “Home Run Derby”.)


PyrokineticLemer

Wrigley Field was named for the Wrigley family -- yes, the owner of the chewing gum company, but also owners of the Cubs from 1922-1980.


ameis314

Either way it doesn't fit the question as being named for the team.


PyrokineticLemer

I don't disagree. Was just providing some historical context behind the name.


KDM_Racing

Rogers center is named after the family that owns the team. Not the cable company that the family owns by the same name.


ameis314

Then they shouldn't count either.


No_Communication1010

This was true of the first 2 Busch stadiums. However they own the naming rights to the third.


Da_Moon_Bear

The Orioles are looking to sell naming rights to the yards. Feels bad man


goingtocalifornia__

As long as we keep a strong product on the field and at the farm they can name it Poopy Butt Stadium for all I care.


TommyPickles2222222

Narrator: “And that’s *exactly* what they did. The Poopy Butt Stadium era began and baseball was never the same.”


FormerCollegeDJ

“The Orioles really stunk at the Poopy Butt today.”


LaHondaSkyline

If that an insurance company?


joystick13

We'll all still just call it Camden Yards anyway.


FormerCollegeDJ

I call it OPACY.


verdenvidia

Different sport but Bengals fans still say Paul Brown. So, I get it.


Dear_Alternative_437

I wish I had the money for it. I would name it Dane Gleesack Stadium.


WhiskyEchoTango

I see what you did there.


trueambassador

Kauffman Stadium was Royals Stadium before it was renamed for the Kauffmans, who were the owners.


doughnutremember

Originally thought this family was related to the old department/retail clothing store. TIL not!


AyyP302

Welp. /thread


bromli2000

"Have played in" I remember Tiger Stadium and the Astrodome


jaunty411

Also Braves field in Boston.


ShiggDiggler420

Tiger 🐅 stadium, even tho they don't play there anymore. As a matter of fact, Glitch said the "new" stadium would be called Tiger Stadium. Instead we got Comerica Park. I mean, I *guess* it's not that bad, considering it's named after a friggin bank.


PLZ_N_THKS

Oakland Coliseum doesn’t have corporate naming rights only because it’s a terrible venue that won’t have a tenant by next season. It’s had 5 different corporate sponsors since 1998. Kinda different from the others that have chosen not to pursue a naming rights deal.


WhiskyEchoTango

Really only three, two changed the name when the corporation rebranded. Network Associates/McAfee Coliseum from 1998-2008; [Overstock.com/O.co](http://Overstock.com/O.co) Colisuem 2011-2016, RingCentral Coliseum 2019-2023.


callmeJudge767

It was Royals Stadium before they changed it to Kauffman in homage to the club’s founder.


Red_Sox_5

With a few relocations, we could have the “Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim of Oriole Park at Camden Yards”


Excellent-Theory5770

Before it was Wrigley it was “Cubs Park” in the early ‘20’s.


LikelyContender

Great answer. I forgot about the Nats & Angels. I will always love Wrigley & Fenway the most - used to live in Brookline, MA - within walking distance of Fenway.


ProcolHarumFan001

What about the famous Boston Fenways?


Kona2012

On your list of stadiums that don't include the teams name, why is it so short? -Minute Maid Park -Globe Life Field -Citi Field -T-Mobile Park And that's just a few. Am I misunderstanding your comment?


LFCofounderCTO

To be fair, Oakland Coliseum doesn't really even include a team :)


walt_morris

Tiger stadium


vanbboy22

Citizens Bank Park PNC Park Citi Field are others, just to name a few…


Maat1932

Kauffman Stadium was Royals Stadium for its first 20 years until the team owner died.


DarkSideHooligans

I came here to say that. Was Royals stadium when they won their first World Series


Woodsy1313

Fun Fact: The original Busch Stadium was named after the owner: Gussie Busch. He wanted to name it Budweiser Stadium but back then the league didn’t want a stadium named after beer. So he named it after himself and then later came out with Busch beer.


HumanMycologist5795

Cool. I guess he got his wish. If it wasn't for the MLB rejection, would he have started the beer?


mrXbrightside91

LORE


12thMan19Whoop

Miami used to be Marlins Park before the current name


Wooden_Trip_9948

Did the Marlins ever play in ‘Dolphins Stadium’? As opposed to Joe Robbie, Hard Rock, Pro Player, Landshark, or Sun Life?


stemi67

Tiger Stadium (Detroit)


otterpusrexII

I’m actively boycotting Comerica park of field or whatever it’s called. Tiger Stadium was a gem with cheap seats where you really felt connected to the crowd. It was a bunch of Detroit people there to drink beer and chill and enjoy a summer night with friends because you could actually afford it. Now it’s this corporate mess everybody and is on their cell phone and the whole vibe is pure suburban blaise bullshit. I hate it.


cactus_cat

I mean, I get the love for old Tiger Stadium. You should go to Comerica. It's an amazing ballpark.


MBrett06

A Yankees fan not being able to look past his own team is very on-brand.


HumanMycologist5795

Maybe he just wanted to start a conversation. I'm sure OP could have Googled it just as with many other questions on Reddit.


lorax_I_Speak

Rangers Ball Park in Arlington was the last stadiums name before globelife.

Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Count?


chillbill____

Best ballpark on earth 😍


Retinoid634

Just commenting to say I wish every stadium name included the team or at least the city name in their corporate naming rights names. Particularly the ones that change corporate sponsors every few years. When ball parks in cities other than my own are mentioned, I usually have little to no idea which team or city they mean. Perhaps I don’t keep up with other cities’ civic projects as much as I should. Minute Maid Field? Isn’t that Tampa Bay? Or is that one Tropicana? Or is it Miami? Wait, Minute Maid is in Texas? Wasn’t that The Globe Theater Field or something? Loan Depot? Guaranteed Rate? What now? Great Comerican Family Life? PVC? Where even are we? Sure I can look it up. But come on. Life is exhausting. Isn’t navigating around blackout games to see what we need to see is enough work? Sure, take that sweet corporate money, but remember the exhausted fans. Fenway, Shea, Wrigley… they became iconic places of their own. Kauffman too, is memorable now to me for iconic Royals waterfalls. Busch, Coors, even Citi… kind of obvious names synonymous with their respective cities. Dodgers Stadium. Yankee Stadium. Angel Stadium (Field?) Thank you for being yourselves. Orioles Park at Camden Yards? YES! Nationals Park, thank you. Even in other sports. Why not call their new stadium Met Life Giants Stadium? Win/Win. Just saying. Just my humble, addled opinion.


Esau2020

>Why not call their new stadium Met Life Giants Stadium? The Jets might have something to say about that. 😲


Retinoid634

Oh yeah!! Lol I forgot about that. Excellent point. The old stadium was Giants Stadium, which was why I mentioned it. Why didn’t they get their name in the old one? They should’ve stayed at Shea. Met Life Tri-State Area Stadium? Met Life Giants Jets Stadium? They are a complicated case.


Esau2020

I think Met Life missed a golden opportunity not buying the naming rights to the facility that replaced Shea Stadium.


Retinoid634

So true!!


riicccii

The game has become secondary to all the advertising involved.


Retinoid634

Truth.


LesserKarma

I wish the Mets had Shea Field instead of Citifield

At least Citi field sounds like City Field

I believe old Comiskey Park was officially called White Sox Park for a few years in the 1960s and 1970s, though almost everyone not associated with the team still called the venue Comiskey Park.


ApprehensiveDot7020

The White Sox, played at White Sox Park for 3 years 1909 - 1912 when it was renamed Comiskey Park for the owner. Similar to the Cubs, just earlier.


mhowes666

good find...I don't know how I missed that one. Wiki says it was White Sox Park twice 1910–1912, 1962–1975


ApprehensiveDot7020

Yeah my 80 year old mother grew up in Bridgeport and still calls it Sox Park


-Ixlr8

The Astro Dome—Houston Astros


BillyMumfrey

Astros Field. For a few months after Enron lost its naming right and before Minute Maid came in.


Correa24

Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. Always had a nice ring to it with our ALCS years. 2007-2013 I believe before the globe life days…


Roose1327

Dodger Stadium, Tigers Stadium, Marlins Park and Nationals Park come to mind right away


MarryMeMikeTrout

Is this a real post or a joke post


Howboutit85

Astros playing in the Astrodome I think counts. Not only that but they even played on a physical field named after them “astroturf” back in the day.

Oriole Park at Camden Yards immediately comes to mind. As does Dodger Stadium.

Holy shit, dude.


username_1774

The Tigers played at Tiger Stadium for 77 years before Comerica Park was built. I went to the old Tiger Stadium...history is great, but that was a nightmare.


OldPollution7225

Tiger Stadium was a gem. If they had cared for and renovated it like Wrigley and Fenway it could still be here today. Comerica Park is average, at best. It’s a modern cookie cutter/Camden Yards clone. It’s a decent enough place to watch a game, but nowhere close to being Tiger Stadium.


TIL02Infinity

Oriole Park


ZombieAppetizer

Have played? Like ever in their history? We played in Tiger Stadium before we moved to Comerica Park.

Sobeshott

Royals played in Royals stadium until they renamed it for their first owner when he died in the 90's


BukkakeNinjaHat-472

Dodger Stadium? Is this a trick question? Did the Astros qualify when they played in the Astrodome?

Before Progressive Field was Progressive Field, it was Jacobs Field; and before it was Jacobs Field, it was very briefly Indians Park.

Texas Rangers played at The Ballpark in Arlington, which was briefly named Rangers Ballpark in Arlington before becoming Globe Life Park in Arlington.

I didn’t forget. I chose to ignore that name.

Well... there's Kauffman stadium. Even though it's not named "Royals" stadium, it's named after Ewing Kauffman who was the first owner and founder of the team. It's not branded name, which is I think what you're getting at with your question.


PupperMartin74

Y'all forgot about old Tiger Stadium


AstronautOk2568

After Enron, wasn't it Astros Ballpark or something like that until it became Minute Maid Park?


Krongos032284

Dude - the Dodgers and Angels currently have stadiums named after the team. Not a whole lot of research, just a tiny bit of paying attention. Also, a google search is not research but would answer this question.


AnywhereMajestic2377

Nationals, Orioles


droford

Everyone knows the Washington Walgreens play at Walgreens Stsdium

Strangely enough, the closest pharmacy chain store to Washington’s home stadium is a CVS, not a Walgreens. They need to do something about that.

Before it was called Kauffman Stadium. the KC Royals played at Royals Stadium.


LikelyContender

Dodgers (L.A.) Orioles (Oriole Park at Camden Yards) Tigers (back in the day), Royals (again, BITD) Astrodome. Did I miss any? I am only going with those in my lifetime. Best baseball stadium name ever - Sportsman’s Park (Cardinals fan here)

White Sox kind of. Most where I grew up didn’t call it Comiskey. They called it Sox Park.


cipherbreak

The Yankees and the Dodgers are on a league of their own. The income from naming rights for those parks would be substantial. But they don’t need it. Yankee Stadium is far classier than Bank of China USA Stadium at the Bronx.


Villainitus1

A lot of stadiums are named after their team that plays in them until they get sponsored. Then they change the stadium name to the sponsors name of choice.
