At this point, the Dodgers have played in Dodger Stadium five years longer than they played in Ebbets. Dodger Stadium is also the third oldest stadium in baseball.

If you're talking old timers, probably. But today's ballparks need to accommodate vastly better amenities, and few parks can equal this:

AT&T Park (home of the San Francisco Giants):

Superb sightlines from just about every seat, comfortable seating everywhere, superb concessions, modern luxury boxes, really decent restrooms, excellent press facilities, excellent access to public transportation and even the visitors' clubhouse is way better than the home clubhouses at Fenway Park and Wrigley Field!

Small wonder why it's considered by many one of the best MLB ballparks in the country, period.
