SOUTH JORDAN, Utah, May 31, 2024 (Gephardt Daily) — Fans got a sneak peek this week at the future home of the Salt Lake Bees in South Jordan’s Daybreak community.
Miller Sports + Entertainment has released renderings for Daybreak Field at America First Square, where the triple-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels will begin play in spring of 2025.
Construction on the privately funded, three-story ballpark in Daybreak’s downtown is underway and on schedule, company officials said.
The ballpark will feature 6,500 fixed seats, along with an open grassy berm and picnic area in right field for another 8,000 fans. Plans also call for party decks that can accommodate up to 475 fans each on the first- and third-base sides, along with club seating and field-level suites.
In addition, the ballpark will include locally inspired food-from-scratch kitchens, quick service stands and Grab-N-Go markets using smart technology, according to MSE. A Bees team store is planned on the plaza, along with an expansive video scoreboard and alcohol-free family zones.
“Daybreak Field will be a premier destination for baseball fans and families alike,” said Ty Wardle, general manager of the Salt Lake Bees. “Our planning has focused on developing amenities that best serve the fan, whether you are picnicking in the outfield or prefer a full-service hospitality experience. We aim to accommodate groups of all sizes, from a family of four in box seats to large company gatherings. This new ballpark will be the ideal setting to create lasting memories.”
For the players, the new ballpark will include a 12,000-square-foot clubhouse, training and player development areas, and multiple batting cages, MSE officials said.
The Bees are playing their final season at their longtime home ballpark in Salt Lake City, which opened in 1994 as Franklin Quest Field. The 15,400-capacity ballpark has undergone several name changes over the years, becoming Franklin Covey Field in 1998, Spring Mobile Ballpark in 2009 and then Smith’s Ballpark in 2014.
