Just 15 minutes south of downtown Tucson lies the Kino Veterans Memorial Stadium, an 11,000-seat venue built in 1998 and kept in pristine condition within the Kino Sports Complex. However, despite the city’s rich history in baseball, the complex now stands vacant of any Major League Baseball team or affiliate.
As of July 2023, Tucson’s population exceeds 547,000. To outsiders, it might come as a surprise that a city of this size and once a well-known baseball hub, now lacks MLB-affiliated teams � but that wasn’t always the case.
