Scottsdale Stadium was built in 1992 to replace an older spring training facility for the San Francisco Giants, as well as to host the Phoenix Firebirds for six seasons until Major League Baseball arrived in the Valley in the form of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
I saw a Firebirds game here in 1994. While the team has left for Fresno, the stadium is as busy as ever, hosting not only Giants’ spring training but two teams in the Arizona Fall League, the prospect loop that plays in October and November.
