The Cactus League’s oldest and smallest ballpark, Tempe Diablo Stadium, still packs them in each season, ranking in the top six in attendance. The stadium is one of the circuit’s most scenic venues, with an ancient rock formation rising beyond the left field corner. A freeway passes just beyond the right field wall, which must remind Anaheim Angels fans of home.
Originally opened in 1968, Tempe Diablo Stadium underwent an extensive $20 million renovation back in 2005. The ballpark has numerous concession stands and patios down each foul line, offering traditional ballpark fare, ice cream, Mexican delicacies and even barbecue.
