Dodger Stadium isn't all that bad actually. The concourses are a little dark, but they are kept up pretty well. They probably should spend some money renovating the bathrooms and adding better TVs to the concession stands, but I could definitely see Dodger Stadium lasting another 50 years.
So Who Gets One Next?

Lol Toronto? we might have the best stadium in Baseball. And with all the renovations in 07 I think we might have the best stadium, with the CN tower luming over the stadium, it just makes it all that better and don't even sweat a rain delay.

I think the dogers are one of the few teams that don't need a retro stadium because they already have what other teams are trying to recreate. Its like how no complains about lambeau field becaues its kept its original identity and been renovated just enough to keep it up to date.
The Skydome is cool because its very futuristic looking to me and they will have the same problem the astros had. Being that they are first team to have a retractable roof there will be a lot of debate of whether to stay or go. In my opinion if the stadium is dirty you can clean it or resurface it. But if the stadium is falling apart or on shakey ground, then you have to get a new one no matter what people want. Just don't tear it down because it doesn't have that new stadium smell!
I know the rays marlins and A's are getting new ballparks, but aren't they talking about giving the cubs and red sox new stadiums?The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time.

Who actually gets one built next?
Assuming no roadblocks, the Marlins should be ready in 2011, as the agreement has been made in principle and all funding has been cleared.
Should the Rays get a funding okay in the next year or two, I'd say they move into their new place in 2012 or 2013.
Other than that, the only place I see getting replaced in the next 10 years is Toronto. Yes, I know the Skydome has plenty of skyboxes, but it's a multipurpose holdover, and the trend is for baseball teams to want a place of their own. I'd look to see the Blue Jays quietly start advocating for a new ballpark in about 5 years.

It's opening day, and its snowing in Minneapolis right now. I can see problems with that in the future.
But the Metrodome is a ****** place to watch baseball, they needed something new.
And Oakland is for sure getting their new stadium:

And what is this crap about Toronto being so clean, not in my lifetime. I was there in 2006. At least the Hockey Hall of Fame is awesome.
Opening Day is 2 days away, Go YANKEES!!!
I agree that the multipurpose stadium have to go, even though my event probably would not have been precluded by a baseball only stadium. I, too, expect the Jays to be clammering for a new park in a few years.
Welcome back ARod. Hope you are a Yankee forever.
Phil Rizzuto-a Yankee forever.
Holy Cow
