Avista Stadium is a baseball park in the northwest United States, located in Spokane Valley, Washington.
[10] Built in less than four months at the Interstate Fairgrounds, the stadium opened 67 years ago in 1958 and has a seating capacity of 6,803[11]–large for Class A ballpark.
The natural grass field is aligned southeast (home plate to second base), at an approximate elevation of 1,920 feet (585 m) above sea level.
In 2011, the Spokane Chiefs hosted the first outdoor game in Western Hockey League history at Avista Stadium on January 15; the home team routed the Kootenay Ice 11–2.
[20] Naming rights were purchased in 1998 (and the stadium renamed after the 1999 season)[2][21] by Avista, the Spokane-based utility founded in 1889 as Washington Water Power Company.
