Designed by the architect of the Baltimore Orioles’ Camden Yards, Populous, the stadium was expanded to its current state in 1992 and holds 12,000 people.
The Baltimore Orioles (1956–58), Boston Red Sox (1959–65), Chicago Cubs (1967-78) and Oakland Athletics (1979–83) used old Scottsdale Stadium as their spring training base before the Giants moved there in 1984.

The renovations included a new team store, expanded clubhouse, baseball training and treatment room, batting tunnel, centerfield entrance, Charro Pavilion, and practice fields next to the stadium.
The Firebirds moved to Fresno, California, and became the Grizzlies, in order to make room for the National League's Arizona Diamondbacks, who began play in 1998.
