AutoZone Park is a minor league baseball stadium located in downtown Memphis, Tennessee and the home of the Memphis Redbirds of the Pacific Coast League, the AAA affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals. It was built at cost of over $80,000,000, by far the most ever spent on a structure dedicated to minor league baseball. It has a seating capacity of 12,512, and has been aptly described as "one-third" of a major league baseball park. It was built to "big-league" standards, the primary difference being the absence of outfield seats or seats far down the foul lines, and could perhaps be better described as a "major league stadium with only the 'good' seats". It opened in 2000.

Autozone Park - Memphis, Tennessee (342 words)

AutoZone is renowned in minor-league baseball circles as being one of the best ballparks in use, and nothing during a recent visit dissuades us of that notion.
AutoZone Park is located in the heart of downtown Memphis and has been attracting large crowds since it opened in 2000.
Isotopes Park, the home of the Albuquerque Isotopes (Class AAA; Pacific Coast League) certainly gives AutoZone Park a run for its money, but in a total different way: AutoZone Park is very much about the urban experience, while Isotopes Park is framed by the mountains and has the feel of a rural setting.
