A guide to the Midwest MLB stadiums — nine ballparks across Chicago, the Ohio Valley, Missouri, and the Upper Midwest. Where each team plays and how to plan your visit.
Chicago has two ballparks — Wrigley Field on the North Side and the White Sox's ballpark on the South Side — reachable across the city by CTA train. The Cubs and White Sox meet in the Crosstown rivalry, and seeing both in one Chicago visit is a popular fan goal.
Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh (just east in the Mid-Atlantic) form an Ohio Valley cluster within a few hours of each other, with Detroit to the north. In Missouri, Busch Stadium in St. Louis and Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City sit at opposite ends of the state, about four hours apart on I-70.
More parks sit close together here than anywhere else in baseball, so weekend loops — Chicago–Milwaukee, St. Louis–Kansas City, or the Ohio Valley — are easy to build. Check each stadium guide for transit and food before you go.
Nine: Wrigley Field and the White Sox's ballpark (Chicago), American Family Field (Milwaukee), Target Field (Minneapolis), Progressive Field (Cleveland), Great American Ball Park (Cincinnati), Comerica Park (Detroit), Busch Stadium (St. Louis), and Kauffman Stadium (Kansas City).
Yes. Wrigley Field on the North Side and the White Sox's South Side ballpark are both reachable by CTA train, so many fans see both on one Chicago visit.
Popular loops include Chicago–Milwaukee, St. Louis–Kansas City along I-70, and the Ohio Valley (Cincinnati–Cleveland–Pittsburgh). The short distances make the Midwest ideal for multi-park trips.
