It currently serves as home of the Tacoma Rainiers of the Pacific Coast League, as well as Tacoma Defiance of the USL Championship and Reign FC of the National Women's Soccer League. The stadium opened in 1960 and has a capacity of 6,500. It is next to Henry Foss High School, and the stadium has an agreement with the school to use the school parking lot for parking. HistoryCheney Stadium is named for Ben Cheney, a local businessman who worked to bring minor league baseball to Tacoma and also was put in control of the project. Cheney Stadium was constructed in 42 working days after the San Francisco Giants had committed to moving their Triple-A affiliate from Phoenix if the city could open the stadium for the beginning of the 1960 season.[5] Construction included light towers and wooden grandstand seats from Seals Stadium in San Francisco. The wooden grandstand seats are still in place today. Cheney Stadium has been home to Pacific Coast League baseball continuously since 1960, in the form of seven teams: the Tacoma Giants (1960–65), Cubs (1966–71), Twins (1972–77), Yankees (1978), Tugs (1979), Tigers (A's) (1980–94), and the Rainiers (Mariners) (1995–present). Notable players who played in Cheney Stadium include Baseball Hall of Fame inductees Juan Marichal, Gaylord Perry, Reggie Jackson and Ken Griffey Jr., as well as Tom Kelly, Jose Canseco, Mark McGwire, Jason Giambi, Félix Hernández, Cliff Lee and Alex Rodriguez. The stadium hosted the baseball competition of the 1990 Goodwill Games[6] and hosted the 30th annual Triple-A All-Star Game on July 12, 2017.[7] 2011 renovationOn November 11, 2009, it was announced the City of Tacoma was considering a $30 million renovations to Cheney Stadium. Early renovation plans included a new grandstand superstructure, roof and concourse, as well as new concession stands, seats, luxury suites and a restaurant.[8] The proposal drew little controversy from taxpayers.[9] On November 19, 2009, the Tacoma Rainiers renewed their lease with the City of Tacoma to keep playing at Cheney Stadium for 32 years.[10] The deal relied on the renovation proposal getting passed.[10] The proposal, now said to be $28 million in cost, was approved on November 25, 2009.[11] The approval means the Rainiers will continue to play in Tacoma until at least 2041, and renovations were completed before the 2011 season.[11] The renovations included basic repairs, 16 luxury suites, a kids' "play area", more restrooms and concession stands, and a new restaurant.[11] Cheney Stadium firsts
SoccerThe reserve team of the Seattle Sounders of Major League Soccer, known at the time as Seattle Sounders FC 2, moved to Cheney Stadium in 2018. The team rebranded as the Tacoma Defiance in 2019, but maintained the Sounders affiliation. The club plans to build their own soccer-specific stadium in a nearby parking lot, with assistance from the Rainiers, and aims to open the new ground in 2021. Reign FC of the National Women's Soccer League announced their move to Cheney Stadium in 2019, and will join the Defiance at the new stadium.[12][13] It takes less than a day to convert the stadium between baseball and soccer by removing the pitchers mound and covering the infield with sod.[14] GalleryReferences1. ^{{cite news |title=About the First Day of Baseball at Cheney Stadium – April 16, 1960|first=John|last=McGrath|url=http://www.thenewstribune.com/2011/04/10/1620291/news-brief-10cheneys2.html|newspaper=The News Tribune|location=Tacoma|date=April 10, 2011|accessdate=February 20, 2014|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120910152258/http://www.thenewstribune.com/2011/04/10/1620291/news-brief-10cheneys2.html|archivedate=September 10, 2012}} 2. ^1 {{cite book |title=Almanac of Architecture & Design 2006|last=Evans Yankopolus|first=Jennifer|year=2006|publisher=Greenway Communications LLC.|location=Atlanta|isbn=0-9755654-2-7|page=}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web |title=Tacoma-Pierce County Buildings Index - Image Display|url=http://search.tacomapubliclibrary.org/buildings/bldg1up.asp?n=27303|publisher=Tacoma Public Library|accessdate=August 27, 2013}} 4. ^{{cite web |title=Cheney Stadium|first=Team|last=Website|url=http://www.milb.com/content/page.jsp?ymd=20070322&content_id=41073112&fext=.jsp&vkey=news_t529&sid=t529|work=Cheney Stadium|accessdate=February 23, 2016}} 5. ^{{cite news |title=Memories Fade, but Ben Cheney Lives on Through Stadium|first=Erik|last=Lacitis|url=http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=20050419&slug=cheney19m|newspaper=The Seattle Times|date=April 19, 2005|accessdate=September 13, 2008}} 6. ^{{cite web |title=Traffic Impacts During the Goodwill Games|url=http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/research/reports/fullreports/232.1.pdf|publisher=Washington State Department of Transportation|date=May 1991|accessdate=February 20, 2014}} 7. ^{{cite web|title=2017 TRIPLE-A ALL-STAR GAME|url=http://www.milb.com/content/page.jsp?ymd=20160607&content_id=182555572&fext=.jsp&sid=t529&vkey=|website=MiLB.com|publisher=Minor League Baseball|accessdate=30 January 2017}} 8. ^1 {{cite news |title=Tacoma Board to Consider Face-Lift for Cheney Stadium|first=Lewis|last=Kamb|url=http://www.thenewstribune.com/sports/rainiers/story/947034.html|newspaper=The News Tribune|location=Tacoma|date=November 11, 2009|accessdate=November 25, 2009}} 9. ^{{cite news |title=There Are Good Reasons Public Renovation Deal for Cheney Drew so Little Protest|first=Peter|last=Callaghan|url=http://www.thenewstribune.com/callaghan/story/960669.html|newspaper=The News Tribune|location=Tacoma|date=November 19, 2009|accessdate=November 25, 2009}} 10. ^1 {{cite news |title=30-Year Deal Keeps Rainiers at Cheney Stadium|first=Lewis|last=Kamb|url=http://www.thenewstribune.com/news/local/story/959874.html|newspaper=The News Tribune|location=Tacoma|date=November 19, 2009|accessdate=November 25, 2009}} 11. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite news |title=Tacoma Goes to Bat for Ballpark|first=Lewis|last=Kamb|url=http://www.thenewstribune.com/news/local/story/968290.html|newspaper=The News Tribune|location=Tacoma|date=November 19, 2009|accessdate=November 25, 2009}} 12. ^{{cite news |last=Baker |first=Geoff |date=January 30, 2019 |title=Reign FC announces immediate move to Tacoma, dropping Seattle from name |url=https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/reign/seattle-reign-womens-soccer-team-announces-immediate-move-to-tacoma/ |work=The Seattle Times |accessdate=January 30, 2019}} 13. ^{{cite news |last=Hammond |first=Andrew |date=January 30, 2019 |title=Seattle Reign is moving its 2019 games to Cheney Stadium in Tacoma; and S2 becomes Tacoma Defiance |url=https://www.thenewstribune.com/sports/soccer/article225264695.html |work=The News Tribune |accessdate=January 30, 2019}} 14. ^{{cite news |date=March 11, 2019 |title=Transforming Cheney Stadium Into a Field of Dreams |url=https://www.reignfc.com/news/2019/3/11/or4c6ayslekdkz6l8ytz6jy7h4rpzi |publisher=Reign FC |accessdate=March 16, 2019}} External links{{Commons category}}
