Watch your hometown team take the field this season with Founders Park tickets from TicketSmarter. Baseball games are played throughout the Spring and Summer at venues across North America including iconic ballparks like Yankee Stadium or Camden Yards. 

One of the first recognized baseball parks was Elysian Fields in Hoboken, N.J., where businessmen gathered to play organized baseball and cricket in the mid-1840s. Ballparks are now the signature piece of several communities ranging from small, community fields to Minor League stadiums and Major League parks that hold between 30,000 and 50,000 spectators. 

The one standard measurement in baseball stadiums is the infield, which measures 90 feet on each the first and third base paths. The infield and outfield are typically grass with a combination of sand, clay and silt making up the basepaths, pitching mound and warning tracks. Outfields vary in size across each league ranging from 391 feet to centerfield at Oracle Park to 420 feet at Fenway Park and Comerica Park.

See America’s favorite game in person with Founders Park tickets. On off-days, some ballparks will host other events like concerts and festivals. Large acts like Billy Joel have performed stadium tours in recent years. Minor League parks like Surprise Stadium host local food and wine festivals and college tournaments before Spring Training begin in mid-February.
