Located in the California state capital, only an hour’s drive from the bustling San Francisco Bay Area, Sutter Health Park doesn’t possess the small-town charm or quirkiness that define many beloved minor league parks. But it has carved out one of the most sterling reputations in the game.
And its polished design and sparkling views of the city skyline give it a big-time feel that eclipses the decrepit home of the Oakland Athletics 80 miles west on Interstate 80.
Sutter Health Park also boasts some of the best promotions in the minors, including “Wet Nose Wednesdays,” where dogs are admitted free, and “Thirsty Thursdays” with $2 draft beers.
For those not of drinking age (or even close), the “Down on the Farm” area features a replica Tower Bridge play structure, a misting pad during hot summer nights and Wiffle ball games.
