Surprise Stadium

Designed by HOK Sport and built in 2002, this better baseball field holds 10,714 people. Located at the Surprise Recreation Campus in Surprise, Arizona, it’s the spring training home of the Kansas City Royals and the Texas Rangers, and proud home to the Arizona Fall Leagues’ Surprise Saguaros. When there’s a game on, there are good eats, too—hoagies and pizza and frozen ice tea are the popular favorites at half-time. And the rest of the time? The award-winning facility is used by Surprise families as a kind of home-away-from-home, where they can meet to enjoy kid-friendly Movie Nights with their neighbors, or gather for the annual Fourth of July fireworks display and entertainment festival. It’s, um, no surprise why this place is so well-regarded by its community.
