Home to the Albuquerque Isotopes — whose very name was inspired by a Simpsons episode — Isotopes Park sits at over 5,000 feet of elevation, making it one of the most homer-friendly parks on the planet and a nightmare for pitching statistics.

Did You Know?

  • The team's name was inspired by the 2001 Simpsons episode "Hungry, Hungry Homer," in which Homer discovers the Springfield Isotopes plan to move to Albuquerque.

  • At 5,312 feet of elevation, the park's thin air significantly increases fly ball distance — resulting in some of the highest-scoring games in minor league baseball.

  • The Isotopes had a previous stint as a PCL franchise in the 1960s before being revived in 2003 with the new stadium.
