That honor goes to Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama. It was built in 1910, and over the years it hosted teams from the multiple minor leagues, the Negro Southern and Negro National Leagues, and Major League Baseball spring training. It still hosts occasional games today, most notably the annual Rickwood Classic.The oldest ballpark in the MLB, of course, is Boston’s Fenway Park, which was built in 1912. Chicago’s Wrigley Field, built in 1914, is the only other MLB stadium in the 100+ years club.

It breaks down this subject into several categories, including the differences between baseball grounds and ballparks. Yes, the oldest baseball "ground" in the world is Fuller Field in Clinton, Massachusetts. Baseball has been played at Fuller Field since 1878. Guinness Book of Records recognizes Fuller Field as the oldest ball grounds in the world. According to the linked article "There is some controversy surrounding which ballpark is the oldest. Rickwood Field, Birmingham, AL, built in 1910, claims to be the oldest continually operating ballpark in the world. According to projectballpark.org, Rickwood's status may be in question. Cardine's Field in Newport, R.I., was allegedly host to baseball matches as early as 1893. The backstop at the park is dated to 1908 and the structure of the stadium was rebuilt in 1938. Centennial Field in Burlington, Vermont was originally built in 1906. It was destroyed by fire and rebuilt as a concrete and steel structure in 1913. Wahconah Park in Pittsfield, MA has hosted baseball matches since 1892. Although it is a wooden ballpark, it was constructed in 1919, and renovated in 1950. Because Rickwood had a structure built in 1910, which has remained and not been renovated or destroyed and replaced, it has to be the oldest continuously operating ballpark in the world. The other candidates could try to fall into the category of oldest ball grounds, due to lack of structures when they opened, but they fall short in those categories as well."
