fenway park is known for the green monster
arizona diamondbacks have the jacuzzi in right field
wrigley has the ivy
it all comes down to the fac that people enjoy baseball because of its variety and historical meaning of each stadium new and old
thats what homefield advantage is all about and the fans having a good time
i think baseball is pretty much the only sporting event where the home team brings the excitement to you rather than just simply letting the players to do it by themselves
so being unique is good and makes baseball the greatest game to attend

Well, Baseball has the same field dimensions, ie; Basepathes, Pitchers Mound, Plate Size. But the only difference is in the field dimensions which is the distance from Home plate to the Fence.

Cause that would be stupid. Its the different field designs of the major league that makes the playing field so unique from any other sport. If they were all the same then it would take away some of the beauty of the game, that is way the all ain't the same. Hey that rhymed.

Well, you have to taken into consideration Geography. Could you imagine if Coors field had the same field dimensions as all other ball parks? Would all other ball parks Work around Coors?
All ball parks are located in places where its geographical place will determine how the game is played. Not all the ball parks are located in the same area. Mother Nature will be a big factor. They have to do their best to work around all that. Could you imagine if Coors and Fenway shared the same dimensions?

Yes, well, the lesser sports seem to need that fearful symmetry in order to not confuse the players, coaches, or other team personnel. Plus, the teams play offense and defense simultaneously, so having a simple rectangle serves a purpose.
Baseball doesn't need that sort of rigidity, and so does not bother with it. Each park can have its own identity and play style.

Because thats part of the fun of playing in different ballparks, and one of the major things that seperates baseball from hockey, football and basketball. Each park has its own quirks and uniqueness that makes traveling to other parks as a player and a fan exciting.

It's one of the things that makes baseball great. Wouldn't it be boring to see the same field every night, regardless of what game you were watching?

The stadiums are built for varies team's strength. For example Petco Park in San Diego is built for pitchers because of the strength of the Padres team is pitching meanwhile Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia is a Home run hitters park which is the Phillies strength
