Salt River Fields at Talking Stick, Baseball stadium in Scottsdale, United States
Salt River Fields at Talking Stick is a baseball stadium with approximately 11,000 seats located on 140 acres of desert land. The complex includes multiple practice fields and modern training facilities designed for player development and preparation.
The complex opened in February 2011 as the first Major League Baseball spring training facility built on Native American territory in the United States. This marked a significant milestone in collaboration between professional baseball and the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community.
The stadium incorporates design elements that honor the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community through its architecture and spatial organization.
The facility offers ample parking for about 4,000 vehicles and multiple entrance gates for convenient access. Visitors should expect larger crowds during the spring training season and allow extra time for arrival and getting around the grounds.
The stadium serves as the shared spring training home for two competing Major League teams: the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Colorado Rockies. Both teams use the same facility for preparation, which makes this arrangement unusual among sports complexes.
