Packard Stadium

Packard Stadium is a baseball stadium in Tempe, Arizona. It is the home of the Arizona State University Sun Devils college baseball team. The stadium holds 4,500 people and was built in 1974. Bobby Winkles Field sits in the officially named Packard Stadium at Brock Ballpark in honor of William Guthrie Packard and the Sun Devils' Hall of Fame coaches Jim Brock and Bobby Winkles. Brock coached the Sun Devils to a 1,100-440 record from 1972-1994, while Winkles coached them to a 574-173 record from 1959-1971.

Packard Stadium is considered one of the nation's top collegiate baseball parks and has endured upgrade renovations since 2001. The construction of a $1 million players clubhouse and events plaza down the left field line was completed in August 2004. The structure features a state-of-the-art clubhouse for the Sun Devil Baseball players, including custom hardwood lockers, a training room, video room and an equipment storage area. The top level of the clubhouse serves as an events plaza for hosted outings during games and also features an office for the coaching staff. The outfield wall, including a center field green monster, is lined with orange trees and just beyond the left field fence lies the Tempe Town Lake.

With an all-time 2,358-1,154 (.671) record in 93 seasons of Sun Devil Baseball, ASU ranks sixth among all major colleges. The Sun Devils have made 30 post-season appearances and rank fifth with 20 College World Series appearances. With five NCAA titles (1965, 1967, 1969, 1977, 1981), ASU is tied for third. In 46 years of varsity baseball dating back to 1959, ASU is 2,025-809-1 (.714).

Packard's existence was made possible through a gift to Arizona State from Guthrie and Peter Packard. Both are alumni of ASU, and the stadium is a tribute to their late father, a prominent member of the publishing industry for many years. Mr. Packard served Shepard's Citations for 51 years rising to President and chairman of the board.
