Phoenix Municipal Stadium during Spring Training, 2005

Phoenix Municipal Stadium is a baseball stadium located in Phoenix, Arizona. The stadium was built in 1966 and holds 8,775 people. It is the spring training home of the Oakland Athletics and run by the City of Phoenix.

The stadium hosted the Phoenix Firebirds until 1992 when Scottsdale Stadium was opened. The stadium has also hosted Arizona Fall League games during the fall. The Arizona Diamondbacks rookie league games were also played in the stadium during their first year in the minor-league level Arizona League. The Arizona High School Baseball Championships are also played there.

The stadium recently underwent a renovation to improve the press box facilities (they were at the time the only open-air facilities in the Cactus League) and clubhouse areas.
