StadiumPage.com was founded in 1998 as a place for me to keep my pictures of the five ballparks I had been to at that point. The site has steadily grown since then and I have now been to games at 37 major league stadiums including 29 of the 30 current parks. (I'll get back to Arlington, TX someday!) I also maintain pages with pictures of former ballpark sites, construction, and demolition. From the start we also maintained a section with ballpark concepts, models, renderings, and drawings. In 2006, we began taking photos of the construction of the new Mets and Yankees parks. With the help of dozens of site readers, we now have a fairly comprehensive documentation from start to finish of the new parks' construction processes and the demolition of Yankee Stadium and Shea Stadium. With young kids, I mostly just go to Mets games these days, but I would go to 5-10 parks per year in the past.
The site has been mentioned in several publications including the New York Times (Three Times), the New York Daily News and Newsday.
If you would like to use any of the images on this site for personal purposes, please go ahead. If you would like to use any of the images for your website or any commercial purposes, please email me first. As many of the construciton/demolition photos were not taken by me, I don't really have the right to grant usage of those.
Tools
The website is entirely hand created. I use no HTML software. Every page was hand written in WordPad and probably always will be.
Photos are edited and logos/titles made with Adobe Photoshop Elements 11. I used to use ArcSoft Panorama Maker 5 Pro for panoramic photos. Now, that is just done on my iPhone.
I currently use an iPhone 13 Pro for photos. It is the best camera I've ever owned.
I have used the following cameras during the life of the site:
Pre-2000: Various disposable film cameras
2000-2003: Olympus D340R
2004-2007: Sony DSC-P72
2007-2009: Canon PowerShot SD750
2009-2010: Sony DSC-W290
2010-2012: Apple iPhone 4 (for Twitter pics)
2011-2015: Nikon Coolpix P7000
2012-2014: Apple iPhone 5
2014-2016: Apple iPhone 6
2016-2018: Apple iPhone 7
2016-2021: Nikon Coolpix S9900
2019-2021: Apple iPhone XR
2021-Present: Apple iPhone 13 Pro
I like using Twitter to pass along immedate pictures from the games I'm at and updates to the site. Be sure to follow me there where my id is: @StadiumPage
