Here's an old video with Derek Jeter narrating tours of future stadiums in the video game All-Star Baseball 2004. Some stadiums were built, others weren't.

Sports video games are insanely realistic these days. The MLB: The Show franchise is as realistic as any sports game ever. You have to manage your 40-man roster, run a farm system, all sorts of the stuff. The only thing it lacks is an expansion team mode. For shame.
Anyway, back in the day, the game All-Star Baseball 2004 included a feature that took you on virtual tours of all the new ballparks in development. Some of them were actually built, like Petco Park, Busch Stadium, and Citizens Bank Park, but others weren't. The video included rendings of possible new parks for the Yankees, Mets, Nationals, Twins, Red Sox, Cubs, and Athletics. Oh, and Derek Jeter narrates. Check it out:
The proposed Nationals park seems pretty wild. It was going to be only 307 feet down the right field line, but the wall was super high and it was 416 feet to the right-center field gap.
The Braves will open their new ballpark in Cobb County in 2017. No other new ballparks are currently under contruction.
