National League Ballparks

What would happen if your favorite player was hitting cleanup in Coors Field? How far was that left-field poke your shortstop just hit? Could my favorite slugger clear the center field wall in the Great American Ballpark?

This page is a simple statistical breakdown of each current National League stadium so you can view ballpark data in an easy to understand chart.

"The Mets want to make some history here, at Citi Field. They don't want it to be quiet, without even wind whipping through the promenade level. No, the Mets envision a day when hours after the game, they'll still be here, tired, dirty, but unwilling to leave. They want to have a reason to celebrate here, at Citi Field. At their park." - Sportswriter Anthony DiComo on MLB.com (04/14/2009)

Current National League Ballparks



The Polo Grounds on the southeast diamond (Version I) was the first ballpark to ever attract a crowd of more than 20,000, the first ballpark ever to host a double header where each team was from a diffferent league and the home of the first American Association versus National League "World Series" in 1884.

The Polo Grounds (Version III) was destroyed by a enormous fire that lasted two full days April 14 through 15, 1911, and when it was over, only rubble was left.

Four sluggers have put a ball over the center field wall in the Polo Grounds (Version IV). Those sluggers are Luke Easter of the Negro Leagues in 1948; Joe Adcock on April 29, 1953; Lou Brock on June 17, 1962; and Hank Aaron on June 18, 1962.
