Ballpark
The Grizzlies play the home games on their schedule at Chukchansi Park, which was formerly known as Grizzlies Stadium. The park opened in 2002 and was built in the city’s downtown as part of a major commercial development project. Chukchansi Park had an official capacity of 12,500 and was designed by Populous, which has designed such notable MLB parks as Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
No Pacific Coast League Championships
Fresno hasn’t had a significant amount of success since moving to town. Although the club won its division in its opening season, it’s failed to do so since and has yet to win a Pacific Coast League title. The franchise was more successful in Tucson, winning the PCL in 1991, 1993 and 2006.
Fresno Grizzlies Roster
Many stars off the San Francisco Giants roster have appeared on the Grizzlies roster in recent years. These names include Buster Posey, Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain, Sergio Romo, Madison Bumgarner, Brian Wilson, Pat Burrell and Brandon Belt.
Spring Training
During Spring Training, members of the Grizzlies share Scottsdale Stadium with other players from the San Francisco Giants system. The park opened in 1992 and also serves as one of the host parks for the Arizona Fall League.
