ASU Baseball Field has a complex history, with ASU moving to Phoenix Municipal Stadium in 2015 for its home games and later updates related to facilities and leases. The latest widely reported change was the move to Phoenix Muni in 2015, following the breakup of the Mesa-Cubs partnership, and ASU’s subsequent use of the Phoenix venue under a long-term lease.[3][4][5]
Key points you might find relevant:
- Phoenix Municipal Stadium became ASU’s home field beginning in 2015, after a shift away from the Mesa/Cubs arrangement.[3]
- The official announcements in 2013–2014 framed the Mesa/Cubs/ASU collaboration as the path for a new shared facility, but that plan evolved when the Cubs partnership did not proceed as initially hoped.[2][4]
- Since then, ASU’s baseball program has operated out of Phoenix Muni, with coverage of the move and impressions from players at the time of the opening.[3]
