Gesa Stadium (formerly Dust Devils Stadium) is a minor league baseball park in the northwest United States, located in Pasco, Washington. Opened in 1995, it is the home field of the Tri-City Dust Devils of the short season Class A Northwest League (NWL). ==History== The venue opened as "Tri-City Stadium" for the Tri-City Posse, a charter member of the independent Western Baseball League (WBL). After six years, the Posse left after the 2000 season when the NWL Rockies moved up the Columbia River from Portland to become the Tri-City Dust Devils for 2001. (The Rockies moved to make way for a new incarnation of the Beavers in the Triple-A Pacific Coast League.)〔 It was renamed "Dust Devils Stadium" in 2004 and became Gesa Stadium in 2008, when (Gesa Credit Union ), a local financial institution, announced that they had purchased the naming rights to the facility for a duration of ten years.〔(KNDU Video )〕 In early 2007, the stadium underwent a renovation, which a sunshade was constructed on the northwest-side of the stadium behind the right-field stands, to help shade spectators on the left-field stands from the glare of the setting sun. Gesa Stadium has an unorthodox southern alignment, so that fans could have sight of the Kennewick area and the surrounding Horse Heaven Hills, particularly Jump Off Joe Butte. The recommended alignment of a baseball diamond (home plate to center field) is east-northeast.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Major League Baseball )〕 The elevation of the playing field is approximately above sea level and is just north of Interstate 182, several miles west of the Tri-Cities Airport. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gesa Stadium」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
