Sutter Health Park, baseball park in West Sacramento, California, United States
Sutter Health Park is a ballpark in West Sacramento, across the Sacramento River from the state capitol, built on the site of old warehouses and rail yards. It has 10,624 permanent seats, 2,798 club seats and 750 seats in 36 suites, plus grass berms in right and left fields that bring total capacity to 14,014.
Ground was broken in October 1999 on the site of old warehouses and rail yards across the Sacramento River from the state capitol, and the $46.5 million ballpark was finished in under nine months, opening in 2000 as Raley Field after Raley's bought the naming rights for $15 million over 20 years. It was renamed Sutter Health Park after the 2019 season, and from 2025 the Athletics play here while awaiting their Las Vegas stadium.
The ballpark's name changed from Raley Field to Sutter Health Park in 2020, after Raley's supermarket chain held the naming rights for 20 years at $15 million. The River Cats share the field with the Athletics, playing home games while the A's are away and vice versa.
The ballpark sits directly across the Sacramento River from the state capitol building, next to downtown Sacramento, on ground once occupied by warehouses and rail yards. The River Cats and the Athletics share the field, so home games alternate between the two teams; check which club is in town before choosing a date.
The stadium was built without any public money: the $46.5 million cost was covered by bonds repaid from ticket, concession and advertising revenue, not taxes. Mayor Christopher Cabaldon brought West Sacramento, Sacramento County and Yolo County into the joint-powers agency that financed it.
