Sloan Park, Baseball stadium in Mesa, United States
Sloan Park is a baseball stadium in Mesa, Arizona, opened in 2014 with a capacity of 15,000, the largest spring training ballpark in Major League Baseball. Its playing field dimensions closely match those of the Chicago Cubs' Wrigley Field. The field is enclosed by dark green padded walls, with tiered sections of dark green seats behind home plate, a wide roof canopy on dark metal columns bearing a blue "SUDAN PARK" sign, and a tall light tower beyond the seating bowl.
Mesa residents approved public funding for the ballpark by ballot measure, and construction began in 2012; it opened in 2014 as Cubs Park. It replaced nearby Hohokam Stadium as the Chicago Cubs' spring training base, and the design by Populous gave the field dimensions matching Wrigley Field. On January 8, 2015, a naming-rights deal with Sloan Valve Company renamed it Sloan Park.
Sloan Park hosts the Cubs' Cactus League spring games and also serves as home field for the Arizona League Cubs and the Mesa Solar Sox of the Arizona Fall League. The name comes from Sloan Valve Company, which bought naming rights on January 8, 2015, when the ballpark was still called Cubs Park.
The stadium has multiple entry gates, accessible seating for people with mobility needs, and numerous food vendors throughout the grounds. Arriving early helps you find convenient parking and explore the venue at a relaxed pace.
Sloan Park's record single-game crowd of 16,152 came on February 25, 2023, against the San Francisco Giants, beating the previous mark of 16,100 set on March 25, 2019, against the Boston Red Sox. The park drew a Cactus League-record 250,893 fans across the 2019 season.
