List of Triple-A baseball stadiums

First Tennessee Park, one of the newest stadiums in Triple-A, opened in 2015. It is the home of the Pacific Coast League's Nashville Sounds.

There are 47 stadiums in use by Triple-A Minor League Baseball teams. The International League (IL) uses 14 stadiums, the Pacific Coast League (PCL) uses 16, and the Mexican League (ML) uses 17. Teams in the IL and PCL affiliate with Major League Baseball (MLB) teams. The ML operates independently of MLB.

The oldest stadium among MLB-affiliated teams is McCoy Stadium, home of the IL's Pawtucket Red Sox, which opened in 1942. The oldest stadium among all Triple-A teams is Estadio Revolución, home of the ML's Algodoneros de Unión Laguna, which opened in 1932. The newest stadium is Las Vegas Ballpark, home of the PCL's Las Vegas 51s, which will open in 2019. One stadium was built in the 1930s, two in the 1940s, two in the 1950s, two in the 1960s, six in the 1970s, three in the 1980s, eleven in the 1990s, thirteen in the 2000s, and seven in the 2010s.

The highest seating capacity of all active MLB-affiliated teams is 16,907 at Sahlen Field where the IL's Buffalo Bisons play. The largest seating capacity among all Triple-A teams is Estadio de Béisbol Monterrey, home of the ML's Sultanes de Monterrey, which holds 27,000. The lowest capacity of an MLB-affiliated team is 6,500 at Cheney Stadium where the PCL's Tacoma Rainiers play. The lowest capacity among all Triple-A teams is Estadio Fray Nano, home of the Diablos Rojos del México, which holds 5,200.

Planned future Triple-A stadiums include Wichita PCL Ballpark, a proposed home for the New Orleans Baby Cakes that plan to relocate to Wichita, Kansas, as early as 2020.[1] The IL's Pawtucket Red Sox plan to move into Polar Park, a newly built facility in Worcester, Massachusetts, in 2021.[2]
