Chukchansi Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chukchansi Park is a city-owned baseball stadium located in Fresno, California. It was built as the home for the Pacific Coast League Fresno Grizzlies. 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 musical concerts, motorcycle supercross events, high school football and soccer.

On September 13, 2006 Chukchansi Gold Resort & Casino purchased the naming rights for the stadium, which was formally named Grizzlies Stadium, for 15 years worth $16 million.[1]
