Avista Stadium is a ballpark located in Spokane Valley, Washington, United States. It is primarily used for baseball, and is the home field of the Spokane Indians minor league baseball team, a Class A short-season affiliate of the Texas Rangers.[1] The stadium opened in 1958 and holds 7,162 people;[2] this is a large capacity in comparison to other Single A ballclubs because the facility was built to house a AAA ballclub (which it did until the end of the 1982 PCL season).[1]
