Desert Sun Stadium is a soccer-specific stadium in Yuma, Arizona, originally built for baseball. It was the home field of the North American League's Yuma Scorpions minor league baseball team and the Arizona Winter League and Arizona Summer League. The stadium, which originally opened in 1969, serves as the main field of the Ray Kroc Baseball Complex. It was the spring training home of the San Diego Padres from 1969 until 1994. WWE Wrestling occasionally makes a stop at the baseball complex as well. In 2015, Desert Sun Stadium was converted to a soccer stadium by OneGoal LLC, an organization that paid for the $15,000 conversion fee.[2] Frontera United has played at Desert Sun Stadium since 2015.
