Okay, which former MLB parks are still standing? Off the top of my head, I came up with the Astrodome, Monster Park (or Candlestick), Qualcomm, Olympic Stadium, and the LA Coliseum (home to the Dodgers 1957-61). Correct me if I'm wrong on any of those. But what others are there ( Read more... )

Busch won't be standing any more anyway, so that doesn't matter.

I believe Tiger Stadium is still standing. I think Mile High Stadium was torn down when the Broncos built their new place.

I thought Tiger Stadium was still around, but I wasn't 100% sure. I'm glad someone else remembers that.

I think you got all of the main ones.

From http://www.ballparks.com/baseball/index.htm

Apparently parts of Braves Field are still standing (http://www.ballparks.com/baseball/national/braves.htm), same goes for Jarry Park in Montreal which has also been converted (http://www.ballparks.com/baseball/national/jarryp.htm. Colt Stadium was dismantled and rebuilt in Mexico (if that counts... http://www.ballparks.com/baseball/national/coltst.htm)

There are also a couple parts of Forbes Field still around, mainly part of the outfield wall.

Which I read had to actually be moved slightly, otherwise it would've been in a women's restroom.

No, it won't. There was a plan proposed where the stadium would remain, but the current plan is to demolish the stadium, but keep the field intact as part of the replacement park being created to replace Macombs Dam Park, which the new stadium will be built on.

Is Exhibation Stadium still standing?

And I believe that the Metrodome will be standing when and if the Twins get a new park, same with Pro Player.

Exhibition Stadium was torn down in 1999.

Only place with the bleachers covered and the regular seating uncovered.
