When I first heard that MLB The Show 25 was adding a stadium based on Bristol Motor Speedway, I was skeptical. A baseball field inside a NASCAR track? It sounded more like a get mlb 25 stubs quicklygimmick than a serious addition. But after unlocking the stadium and playing a few games there, I am convinced it is one of the most entertaining and refreshing experiences in the game. Best of all, it only took me about ten minutes to unlock it.

Let me walk you through how I did it.

First, I went into Diamond Dynasty and found the new Speedway Classic Program. This program is themed around the MLB Speedway Classic, a real-life event where the Braves and Reds played a game inside the Bristol Motor Speedway. The program features players from that event, themed uniforms, and of course, the new stadium. I checked the reward path and saw that the very first reward was the stadium itself. All I needed to do was earn five stars.

That was a relief. I thought I would have to grind dozens of missions or spend hours completing challenges. But five stars? That was manageable. So I looked at the list of available challenges in the program. One of the easiest options was a Moment challenge. These are short scenarios where you step into the shoes of a player and try to replicate a real performance. I picked one that required just one home run in a single at-bat.

It took me two tries, but I knocked one out of the park. And just like that, I had my five stars. I went back to the program screen, and there it was—Bristol Motor Speedway Stadium, unlocked.

The next thing I did was head into Exhibition mode. I wanted to test out the stadium immediately. When I loaded into the game, the visuals blew me away. Towering grandstands surrounded the field, and you could clearly see the racing track beyond the outfield wall. It felt massive and loud, like a playoff game under the lights. The stadium had an energy I had never experienced in The Show before.

As for gameplay, the stadium felt solid. The field dimensions are fair, with 330 feet down the lines and 400 feet to center. Balls carried pretty well, probably because of the elevation, but it never felt unrealistic. I hit a few home runs, gave up one or two, and everything felt balanced.

Since unlocking it, I have used Bristol in both casual and competitive games. My friends love it too. It gives the game a fun twist, and it is always a great conversation starter.

In summary, unlocking the Bristol Motor Speedway Stadium in MLB The Show 25 was fast, easy, and completely worth it. All it took was one Moment challenge, and now I have access to one of the most unique stadiums in any sports game. If you are on the fence, just do it. It takes no time, and you will not regret it.
