Every big-league ballpark ranked by seating capacity, straight from ThrillZing’s venue database — all 30 current MLB home parks, from the biggest bowl in baseball down to the temporary home the Athletics are filling in Sacramento.

The headline hasn’t changed in decades: Dodger Stadium holds 56,000, the largest capacity in Major League Baseball and a figure that has topped this list since the ballpark-building boom shrank everyone else. The gap to second place is huge — Coors Field checks in at 50,480, and no other park cracks 50,000.

Why Dodger Stadium Still Leads

Dodger Stadium opened in 1962, back when baseball parks were built big. The retro-ballpark era that started with Camden Yards in 1992 deliberately went smaller — intimacy sells better than raw scale — which is why so many parks built since 2000 cluster tightly between 37,000 and 43,000 seats.

That clustering is the real story of the table. Positions 7 through 21 are separated by barely 3,000 seats, so a single renovation can shuffle several spots at once. The old giants — Dodger Stadium, Coors Field, Yankee Stadium — sit comfortably above the pack.

The Small End of the Scale

The bottom of the list tells its own story. Fenway Park (37,499) and Wrigley Field (41,072) stay small because they are boxed in by city streets and over a century of history — Fenway opened in 1912, Wrigley in 1914, and both trade capacity for character.

Then there’s Sutter Health Park at 14,014, the smallest park in the majors by a mile. It’s a Triple-A stadium in West Sacramento serving as the Athletics’ temporary home while their Las Vegas ballpark is built — a big-league anomaly worth seeing while it lasts.
