Not only is the ballpark one of the more picturesque facilities, built on top of a hill overlooking the beautiful Marriott Buttes Resort, it’s also known for great player access — perfect for autographs. Originally opened in 1968, the stadium underwent an extensive $20 million renovation in 2005 and was rededicated on Mar. 3, 2006. The renovation included the main stadium, the Major League Fields and the Minor League Complex on site. TASTY TREATS: There are multiple stands down the left field and right field patios full of options for domestic and craft beers as well as traditional ballpark fare, ice cream, and food trucks.
