When will there be more new parks in the MLB or affiliated minors? It feels like COVID put a stop to most construction. I miss your page that shared stadium plans that were in the works/rumored to be happening.
You’re exactly right: there is a lull in new ballparks opening. In 2023, for example, there are *zero* new parks in pro baseball — Majors, spring training, affiliated Minors, indy leagues. None. And 2024 will only see one new park, and that’s in the indy Pioneer League (Northern Colorado Owlz). In 2025, though, there will be several: Hillsboro, OR; Knoxville; probably Spartanburg, SC; probably Salt Lake City; possibly Chattanooga; maybe Richmond. We’re just going through a dry spell right now!
