There are 12 stadiums in use by Eastern League (EL) baseball teams. The oldest stadium is FirstEnergy Stadium (1951) in Reading, Pennsylvania, home of the Reading Fightin Phils. The newest stadium is CarMax Park (2026) in Richmond, Virginia, home of the Richmond Flying Squirrels. One stadium was built in each of the 1950s and 1980s, seven in the 1990s, and one in each of the 2000s, 2010s and 2020s. The highest seating capacity is 10,000 at Prince George's Stadium in Bowie, Maryland, where the Chesapeake Baysox play. The lowest capacity is 6,000 at UPMC Park in Erie, Pennsylvania, where the Erie SeaWolves play. All stadiums use a grass surface.
Since its founding, there have been approximately 70 stadiums located among over 50 municipalities used by the league, including the period when the EL was known as the New York–Pennsylvania League from 1923 to 1937. Of the stadiums with known opening dates, the oldest to have hosted EL games was Pynchon Park (1853), home of the Springfield Nationals, Springfield Rifles, and Springfield Giants; CarMax Park is also the newest of all stadiums to host EL games. The highest known seating capacity was 45,000 at War Memorial Stadium, the Buffalo Bisons home, though it was actually designed for football. The highest capacity of a stadium designed for baseball was 24,167 at Roosevelt Stadium, where the Jersey City Indians and Jersey City A's played their home games. The stadium with the lowest known capacity was Bleecker Stadium, home of the Albany-Colonie A's, which seated only 2,000.
