List of Triple-A baseball stadiums

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.

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

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 Riverfront Stadium, home of the PCL's Wichita Wind Surge, which will open in 2020. One stadium was opened in the 1930s, three in the 1940s, two in the 1950s, two in the 1960s, six in the 1970s, three in the 1980s, ten in the 1990s, twelve in the 2000s, seven in the 2010s, and one in the 2020s.

The highest seating capacity of all active MLB-affiliated teams is 16,600 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 capacities among all Triple-A teams are the ML's Estadio Nelson Barrera, home of the Piratas de Campeche, and Parque la Junta and Uni-Trade Stadium, the dual homes of the Tecolotes de los Dos Laredos, which all hold 6,000.

Planned future Triple-A stadiums include Polar Park, a new facility being built in Worcester, Massachusetts, to which the IL's Pawtucket Red Sox plan to move in 2021.[1]
