Construction
Groundbreaking ceremonies were held on October 10, 1995, but actual construction did not begin until August of 1996 due to escalating construction costs and the redesign of the ballpark by architects. The ballpark opened on April 16, 1998 with the RedHawks falling to the Edmonton Trappers 6-3 in front of a sell-out crowd of 14,066 fans.
