Spring training has been held in “The West’s Most Western City” since 1956, when the original Scottsdale Stadium was built on this location to host the Baltimore Orioles. The current park was erected in 1992 to replace the older facility that was then hosting the San Francisco Giants, its primary tenant to this day, as well as to host the Triple-A Phoenix Firebirds for six seasons until Major League Baseball arrived in the Valley in the form of the Arizona Diamondbacks.

I saw a Firebirds game here in 1994. While that team left for Fresno back in 1998, the stadium is as busy as ever, hosting not only Giants’ spring training but also the Arizona Fall League, the prospect loop that plays in October and November. The Fall League is based out of Scottsdale, and its championship game is played there each year.

A renovation prior to the 2009 World Baseball Classic added a pavilion beyond right field and upgraded the scoreboard. Further upgrades are planned prior to 2024 spring training, including the installation of a social area replacing underutilized bleachers down the first-base line.
