Sun City Stadium was a baseball park located in Sun City, Arizona, from 1971 until the mid-1990s. It was built by developer Del Webb, and served as the spring training home of the Milwaukee Brewers of Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1973 to 1985.[4] The park was dismantled in early 1995,[3] and a retirement community was subsequently built on the site.[5]
