Cheney Stadium, established in 1960, is situated at the heart of Central Tacoma and underwent a substantial modernization in 2010 to stand out as a cutting-edge entertainment venue. Originally conceived by Ben Cheney and Clay Huntington in 1957, this stadium became the home of professional baseball in Tacoma after a quick construction period of just over three months, culminating in the Tacoma Giants' inaugural game on April 16, 1960.
Following its renovation, Cheney Stadium now seats 6,500 and offers premium amenities such as luxury suites, club/restaurant spaces, and unique seating arrangements. The stadium's geographical relevance is reflected in its construction using local materials and design elements that pay homage to Tacoma and the Pacific Northwest, ensuring a memorable experience for visitors.
Notable features include the distinctive 29-foot tall "batter's eye," picturesque views that have endured for over five decades, and the incorporation of professional soccer matches from 2018 to 2021, showcasing Cheney Stadium as a versatile venue catering to a diverse range of sports and entertainment events.
