Address 3400 E. Camino Campestre, Tucson.
Directions From I-10, exit at Broadway, head east and then turn right on Randolph Way. Hi Corbett is located on the right-hand side. There are signs pointing the way.

Hi Corbett is the kind of older facility that either inspires awe or turns folks off because of its old age. Much of the stadium dates back to the 1930s, even though it's been renovated several times during the years (most recently in 1999, when a team store and a ticket office were added, and in in 1997, when a $3.77 million renovation yielded new seating and expanded the clubhouses). It holds 9,500: 598 box seats, 8,350 reserved seats, and 562 bleacher seats.

Hi Corbett, by the way, was a former Arizona state senator who was key in attracting spring training and the PGA Tour to the state.

This is the final spring training in Tucson for the Rockies. In 2011 the team will move to a spring complex in the Phoenix area.

 

 

Ballpark History

The Cleveland Indians trained at Hi Corbett Field from 1945 through 1992. The Colorado Rockies then moved into Hi Corbett in 1993 for the team's inaugural spring training. Other teams to call Hi Corbett home include the Tucson Lizards (Class D; Arizona/Texas League), the Tucson Cowboys (Class C; Arizona/Texas League), the Tucson Toros (Class AAA; Pacific Coast League) and the new Tucson Toros (independent; Golden League)

 

People ask me what I do in the winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring.
