Page "Colorado Springs Sky Sox" Paragraph 3

During their first season, the Sky Sox moved from Spurgeon Stadium ( in Memorial Park ) to the brand new Sky Sox Stadium, now known as Security Service Field.

The ballpark, on the eastern edge of Colorado Springs, originally cost $ 3. 7 million to build and seats 8, 500 spectators.

In recent years, the Sky Sox have invested over $ 8 million on ballpark renovations which included a new video scoreboard, redesigned entrance plaza, new picnic facility and banquet hall.

It is the highest professional ballpark in North America ; its natural grass field sits at above sea level.
