Lindquist Field is a baseball park in the western United States, located in Ogden, Utah. It has a capacity for 8,700 fans and it is the home field of the Ogden Raptors, an independent minor league team in the Pioneer League.2
Description
The ballpark debuted 29 years ago in 1997 and has led the Pioneer League in attendance every year since it opened.3 It is named after former Raptors co-owner Ethan J. Lindquist.4
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.3
