[edit] Franchise History
Established in 1987 as the San Bernardino Spirit, the team originally played at Fiscalini Field until 1996 when the team moved to Arrowhead Credit Union Park. In 1996 in conjunction with the move to their new park the team changed its name to the San Bernardino Stampede. The name was later changed to the team's current name The Inland Empire 66ers, a name taken from the historic Route 66 that had run through San Bernardino, which is now home to the Route 66 Rendezvous.
In September 2006, the 66ers announced that it was renewing its affiliation with the Los Angeles Dodgers beginning in the 2007 season.
