Dodger Stadium
Eight stadiums in one; a 1984 game against the Mets recreated.
The Cinemaholic says Dodger Stadium doubled for eight different stadiums because the budget did not allow filming in other ballparks.
Wikipedia says it was dressed to represent several ballparks the Athletics visited, and that about 700 extras played fans.
The Cinemaholic says it recreated a 1984 Dodgers against Mets game, in which Beane played for the New York team.
$105,000 for 3 days: $25,000 for the stadium and $10,000 for the parking lot, each day.
3 days at Dodger Stadium: $105,000 at the page’s rates.
The Dodgers’ home ground above downtown Los Angeles. Stadium tours and games are run by the club.

Final out
Go and see the parks
Most of the film was made in Los Angeles County. Fenway Park is in Boston and the Coliseum in Oakland. Phoenix Municipal Stadium and the Ontario airport rest on a single film-news page, so check before you plan around them.
