5 of America's Oldest Baseball Stadiums

Daytona Beach's Jackie Robinson Ballpark — opened on June 4, 1914 — is the oldest Minor League ballpark that still hosts regular games.

The stadium was known as Daytona City Island Ballpark from 1914 until 1989, when it was renamed after trailblazing baseball player Jackie Robinson, who famously broke the Major League color barrier in 1947. A year before that, the stadium hosted the first integrated spring training game on March 17, 1946, when the Brooklyn Dodgers took on the Montreal Royals, for whom Robinson played at the time. The park began hosting Minor League games on a regular basis in 1920, and it has served as the home base for many spring training camps over the years. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998 and has served as home of the Daytona Tortugas (the Single-A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds) since 2015.
