Albuquerque Sports Stadium was a baseball stadium in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA, which was built in 1969 as a modern replacement for the aging Tingley Field. The ballpark had a seating capacity of 10,510, though it occasionally accommodated much larger crowds.[2]

The stadium was located at the northeast corner of University Boulevard and Avenida Cesar Chavez. It was closed in 2000 and demolished in 2001 to make way for Isotopes Park, which occupies the old stadium's footprint.
