Citi Field also had many areas honoring the Brooklyn Dodgers. Fans complained, so they made them more Mets centric.

Apparently they are looking how to add an atmosphere to the Florida baseball stadiums

Safeco Field in Seattle back in the early 2010s moved in the outfield walls about 5-10 feet in various areas. Especially along left field & left center. A bar area was added in left field (Edgar’s Cantina).

Also the Rogers Center in Toronto over a year ago renovated their outfield area seating & this past offseason renovated the backstop, 1st base right field & 3rd base left field sides of their seating too.

New Yankee stadium also had to address the centerfield obstructed bleecher seats by removing those bleecher seats and building out bar sections in their place.

[billymayshere]

Target Field also had to change its batter's eye, not the living wall but the one when it first opened.

Modifications to baseball stadiums has been happening from the very beginning of the sport - as much a part of the sport as the game itself. Most of the early stadiums were really shared or adapted from use as cricket venues. Once the sport (past time) became more popular, purpose built stadiums were constructed. Arguably, the shared sport parks had more issues, especially for baseball. The uniqueness of the layout doesn’t mesh well with football’s standard grid iron.

Another quick change was when Citizens Bank Park opened, the home bullpen was set on top of the visitors bullpen, exposing the Phillies relievers to the “friendly” hometown crowd. The Phillies flipped the placement of bullpens the following season.

How about Brooklyn's Ebbetts Field? When it opened in 2013, it was soon realized the place had been built without a press box. Oops.

At 0:23 my old seats were about where the "s" in "Baseball". Those were amazing seats. It's now a bar but in this image it was a hive of scum and villainy that tormented the visiting team's bullpen. There are SkyDome House Rules written because of our antics. Comerica is a weird park and I come from the Dome.

Dodger Stadium had to make one quick correction before it opened

The foul poles were actually in foul territory

[edvadojunk]

You missed the MASSIVE change to Oriole Park at Camden Yards.

[mannyfrencha]

You missed the new Comiskey Park and the White Sux and their park issues, smh

[masonkim]

3:52 yeah Dodger Stadium is almost PERFECT

[cosmostrek]

the tigers owner said he was not paying attention to the construction and they built it too big. mets stadium the mets could not hit home runs anymore.

[jameslundt]

You missed the batter's eye and everything around it when doing Target Field

[GeeEm]

Ahh, the mistake by the lake. I saw a game there in 1993, and I got Kenny Lofton's autograph.

[saulschlapik]

You forgot the center field hill at Minute Maid Park (originally Enron Field) with its on field flag pole.

[CoryJohnson]

The Twins also removed the pine trees from Target Field’s batters eye after one season.

[josephhouk]

Missed Miller Park and the "bogie" issues with the roof.

[SugarFreeLatte]

Not a fan of that thumbnail, as a Toronto Blue Jays fan i clicked on this video seeing the Rogers Centre in the thumbnail and was disappointed when it wasnt here
