Chukchansi Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chukchansi Park is a city-owned baseball stadium located in Fresno, California. It was originally built and named Grizzlies Stadium as the home for the Pacific Coast League Fresno Grizzlies and the Fresno Fuego minor league soccer club.
After management failures, Chukchansi Gold Resort & Casino announced it would be the premier corporate sponsor for Grizzlies Stadium, in a 15 year, $16 million deal. The first game was May 1, 2002. Located in downtown Fresno, it is to be an anchor in the rehabilitation of the area, as other commercial development is planned in the Central Business District Loop.
The stadium was designed by HOK Sport + Venue + Event, the firm responsible for many of today's sports stadiums like Oriole Park at Camden Yards, PETCO Park and Comerica Park.
The $46 million dollar facility seats 12,500, with field dimensions of 324 (LF), 402 (CF), 335 (RF).
In addition to baseball, the stadium is used for soccer, musical concerts, motorcycle supercross events and high school football.
