In this episode, we head to Tucson, Arizona, the former spring training home of the Chicago White Sox (1998–2008) and Arizona Diamondbacks (1998–2010). Tucson Electric Park opened in 1998 with a capacity of 11,500 but was abandoned after just a decade. The stadium is remembered for two unusual moments: Randy Johnson accidentally killing a bird mid-pitch, and the infamous “bee game” that forced play to stop. The White Sox later paid $5 million to leave their lease and move to Glendale, while the Rockies and Diamondbacks soon followed, leaving Pima County with heavy debt from the Kino Sports Complex. Now, nearly 20 years later, the question is: what is Tucson Electric Park used for today?
