50 free MLB Stadiums trivia questions with answers — sports quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
No two big-league ballparks are alike. Football fields and basketball courts are built to one plan, but every baseball stadium sets its own fences, wall heights and ground rules, and each one collects decades of stories that fans can recite from memory. This quiz asks you to name the stadium from a clue: an odd feature in the outfield, a nickname, a first, a famous game or a ritual in the stands. It covers the parks in use today, from the classics that have stood for over a century to the newest retractable roofs, along with beloved homes that were demolished long ago and a few one-off venues where the majors have played. It is written for baseball fans, road-trippers working through a ballpark bucket list and anyone hosting a sports trivia night. The questions run from friendly openers to tests for the fan who has seen a game in every park, and every answer comes with a short explanation, so you can play straight through or print the set for a group.
