Volcanoes stadium fan experience


Volcanoes Stadium is a minor league baseball park in the northwest United States, located in Keizer, Oregon. It is the home field of the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes, a Class A affiliate of the San Francisco Giants in the short-season Northwest League.

Contents

Nicknamed "Oregon's Field of Dreams", it opened 20 years ago in 1997 and has a capacity of 4,254 people. The ballpark is adjacent to Interstate 5, just beyond the right field fence, and sits at an approximate elevation of 150 feet (45 m) above sea level. The Volcanoes have won five Northwest League championships, in 1998, 2001, 2006, 2007, and 2009. The team moved to Salem-Keizer in 1997, after two seasons in Bellingham, Washington, preceded by eleven years in Everett.

Salem's previous NWL teams in the 1980s played at Chemeketa Community College.
