Who occupied RE/MAX Field from 1995 to 2004?
RE/MAX Field RE/MAX Field ( formerly Edmonton Ballpark , and Telus Field stylized as TELUS ) is a baseball stadium in Edmonton , Alberta , Canada . It has served as home to several minor league baseball clubs ; its last affiliated tenant was the Edmonton Trappers , a AAA Pacific Coast League club . It was also home to the Edmonton Capitals , an independent team that has been inactive since 2011 . The Edmonton Prospects of the Western Canadian Baseball League ( WCBL ) were the main tenant from 2012 to 2020 . The Edmonton Riverhawks of the West Coast League will be the main tenant beginning with the 2021 season . The facility is located in the North Saskatchewan River Valley , in the neighbourhood of Rossdale . History . Opened in 1995 , Telus Field replaced the 60-year-old John Ducey Park ( formerly Renfrew Park ) on the same site . The stadiums naming rights were purchased by the Telus telecommunications company in September 1995 for a 14-year deal . It has walls all the way around except in centre field , where the batters eye is a green monster which is the third highest wall in professional baseball . Three players , Matthew LeCroy , Michael Cuddyer , and Todd Sears have hit home runs over it . Telus Field held the IBAF World Cup Womens baseball in the summer of 2004 and from July 25 to August 3 , 2008 , the park held the IBAF AAA World Junior Championships for the 7th time since it started in 1981 . Despite Teluss naming rights expiring in 2009 the stadium continued to use the name Telus Field until opening the 2016 season as Edmonton Ballpark , or simply Ballpark . Being displaced by the 2016 Fort McMurray wildfire , the Fort McMurray Giants played their inaugural season at the then Edmonton Ballpark . In May 2017 the stadium was renamed RE/MAX Field by the Edmonton Prospects ; gaining naming rights and naming the park after the teams sponsor , RE/MAX , for three years . On May 20 , 2020 , Baseball Edmonton Inc. , a group led by former Edmonton Oilers player Randy Gregg , reached a deal with the city of Edmonton to lease the stadium for ten years . Gregg stated that his group would try to secure an agreement for a second WCBL team to play at RE/MAX field , but he hoped the Prospects would continue to play there as well . However , the owner of the Prospects released a statement that claimed the ongoing negotiations regarding their use of the field [ seemed ] fraught with challenges . Gregg also outlined several possible plans to expand use of the field throughout the year , including the inclusion of minor baseball leagues , collaborations with local cultural and music groups , and an indoor attachment under the left field bleachers to allow for greater use of the facility during the winter . Baseball Edmonton Inc . is advocating for the stadium to be included in the planned redevelopment of the Rossdale neighbourhood . The Edmonton Riverhawks of the West Coast League will be the main tenant at RE/MAX Field , beginning with the 2021 season . Features . RE/MAX Field uses natural grass in the outfield and FieldTurf in the infield ; originally AstroTurf was used but it was replaced in 2005 with the more modern type of turf , FieldTurf . Artificial turf was chosen for lower maintenance costs , because it allows for a better drainage system so the infield can return to a playable state quicker than a grass infield would , and to minimize damage to the infield when concerts are held at the stadium . The park has ground-level luxury suites with box and general seating built on top . The Home Plate VIP Lounge on the main concourse is located directly behind the plate , incorporating a bar and a restaurant with a view of the field from seats inside and outside . The lounge includes trophies and pictures of early Edmonton baseball teams . The capacity of the stadium is 9,200 . The dimensions are to left field , to left centre , to centre field , to right centre and to right field . The stadium concourse features pictures of historic moments in Trapper history , including Ron Kittles 50-home-run season . There are also pictures from every Trapper championship and trophies .
