Alright, folks, gather ’round, let me tell you about my little adventure in MLB The Show 23. I’m a simple guy who likes his baseball, and there’s one thing I’ve always wanted in this game: the Polo Grounds. Yeah, that classic stadium with the crazy dimensions. So, I set out on a mission to unlock it, and let me tell you, it wasn’t as straightforward as I thought it would be.
First off, I did some digging around, you know, the usual forums and stuff. People were saying all sorts of things. Some said you gotta collect all the classic stadiums, others were just confused like I was. There was even talk about some Negro League stadiums, but that didn’t seem right.

So I decided to just dive in and see for myself. I started playing, grinding through games, earning those points, whatever they’re called. The idea was to buy up those classic stadiums from the auction. I heard they go for around 1.5k, which isn’t too bad, I guess.
Gotta Collect ‘Em All
The first thing I did was check out the marketplace. Sure enough, there they were, all those old-timey ballparks. I started snapping them up, one by one. It felt like collecting baseball cards, only digital and way more expensive in terms of time.
- I bought ’em all.
- And kept playing the game.
- Hoping to collect them to unlock the target.
The Moment of Truth
After what felt like forever, I finally collected all the classic stadiums. I went into the collections menu, holding my breath, and… nothing. No Polo Grounds. I was stumped. Had I done something wrong? Was there some secret step I missed?
I went back to the forums, started reading through more posts. It turns out, I did do everything right. I just needed to wait. Wait for what, I didn’t know. So I kept playing, kept grinding. I even tried restarting the game a few times, just in case.
And then, out of nowhere, it happened. I got a notification. I had unlocked the Polo Grounds! It was like a little digital miracle. I quickly selected it as my home field, and there it was, in all its glory, with that ridiculous outfield.
So, yeah, that’s my story of how I finally got the Polo Grounds in MLB The Show 23. It was a bit of a wild goose chase, but I did it. Just remember, collect all those classic stadiums, be patient, and eventually, you’ll be playing ball in that legendary ballpark. It’s not about how fast you get there, it’s about enjoying the ride, right? And hey, at least I got a good story out of it. Don’t give up, keep playing, and you will get there!
