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 14, and the Mexican League (ML) uses 17. Two teams joining the Triple-A classification for 2021 have not yet been assigned to the IL or PCL. 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 Riverfront Stadium, home of the PCL's Wichita Wind Surge, which opened 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, nine in the 1990s, twleve in the 2000s, and nine in the 2010s.
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]
