Scottsdale Stadium is a baseball field located in Scottsdale, Arizona. The stadium was built in 1992 and holds 11,200 people. It is the spring training home of the San Francisco Giants. The stadium underwent a renovation in 2005 in order to increase capacity, to improve the scoreboard and clubhouse areas, and to add a practice field in right field.

The stadium was built on the site of the old Scottsdale Stadium, built in 1956, which also hosted the Giants. The ballpark was constructed in less than a year to avoid having the Giants play their spring games at another location.

In March 2006, the stadium hosted three games from Pool B of the World Baseball Classic.
