The tenure of MLB stadiums has shifted recently, with new ballparks replacing the confines that were as much of America’s pastime as the players. Old Yankee Stadium, Tigers Stadium, Candlestick, and even some Astro-turfed donuts made popular in the ’70s and ’80s have been leveled to create newer pastures.

From that, what was once considered the new era of stadiums is now part of the 10 oldest in the game.

Take a look.
