Scottsdale Stadium, baseball field located in Scottsdale, Arizona, United States
Scottsdale Stadium is a sports venue in Scottsdale that mainly hosts baseball games during the spring training season for major league teams. The facility features an open design with seating that provides good views of the field, food vendors, and modern amenities.
The current stadium, designed by HOK Sport, opened on March 12, 1992, on the site of the old Scottsdale Stadium that dated from 1956. Before the San Francisco Giants arrived in 1984, the Baltimore Orioles, Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs and Oakland Athletics trained there. A $23.1 million renovation in 2006 added a team store, expanded clubhouse and practice fields, and the Giants extended their lease through 2025 with an option to 2035.
The Scottsdale Charros, a local civic group, organize and promote the Giants' spring training in the city, a role tied to the stadium since the team arrived in 1984. The ballpark also hosts the Scottsdale Scorpions of the Arizona Fall League and the Fall League championship game in late November. A "Bubba's Grill" sign stands on the wall in the foreground.
The stadium sits across the street from HonorHealth Scottsdale Osborne Medical Center, a detail tied to the 1992 injury of Angels pitcher Matt Keough, struck by a foul ball in the dugout. The 2006 renovation added a centerfield entrance and practice fields beside the stadium, so allow time to walk the grounds. Seating is split between the main grandstand behind home plate and the outfield berm area.
The stadium sits directly across the street from HonorHealth Scottsdale Osborne Medical Center; in 1992 Angels pitcher Matt Keough was struck by a foul ball in the dugout and critically injured, and the hospital's proximity helped save his life. The Charro Pavilion and centerfield entrance date from the 2006 renovation.
