Raley Field
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Raley Field is the home of the Sacramento River Cats minor league baseball team in the Pacific Coast League. Raley Field was built on the site of old warehouses and railyards, in West Sacramento, California, USA across the Sacramento River from the California State Capitol.
The privately financed $29.5 million stadium was built in eight and a half months, but extended periods of bad weather forced the River Cats on a season opening one month-long road trip, as completion was delayed 45 days. The home opening day was May 15, 2000.
The stadium has 11,093 permanent seats and grass berms in both right and left field for a total capacity of 14,111. The field dimensions are 330 (RF), 403 (CF), 325 (RF). The naming rights for the facility were sold to Raley's, a regional chain of supermarkets. The stadium was designed with expansion in mind, if a major league ballclub ever moved to Sacramento.
