Lindquist Field is a baseball park in the western United States, located in Ogden, Utah. It is the home field of the Ogden Raptors, an independent minor league team in the Pioneer League.
Description[edit]
The ballpark debuted 27 years ago in 1997 and has led the Pioneer League in attendance every year since it opened.[2] It is named after former Raptors co-owner John A. Lindquist.[3]
In 2008, the Raptors added a new spectator deck large enough for 1,200 spectators, two more concession stands, a Hardball Café, and an additional 2,000 fixed seats to the stadium. A new masonry wall was added, and the chain-link fencing was also replaced.
The natural grass field is aligned northeast (home plate to second base) at an approximate elevation of 4,300 feet (1,310 m) above sea level; at the foot of the Wasatch Range, it opens up to a view of the mountains. Both BaseballParks.com and DigitalBallParks.com have awarded Lindquist Field "Best View" in all of baseball.[4]
