The City of Mesa and Chicago Cubs this week announced plans to break ground on their new spring training baseball facility on July 11. The stadium will become the western headquarters for the Chicago Cubs. In addition, the City and Cubs are in final stages of an agreement that will make the complex the new home for the Arizona State University baseball program.
Located at the intersection of the Loop 101 and 202 freeways in Mesa, the project was approved by Mesa voters in 2010. With capacity for 15,000 attendees, the stadium includes shaded seats , luxury suites, a video board and concessions. New design renderings released this week revealed a stadium that will incorporate some of the unique features of Wrigley Field as well as distinctive aspects from the Arizona area.
