America's Pastime

Utah is home to three minor league baseball teams, with professional baseball history going back as far as 1901.

The closest team is the Orem Owlz. They are a rookie affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. They play at Brent Brown Ballpark on the UVU campus.

The next closest team is the Salt Lake Bees. They are the Triple-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. This level is one step below Major League Baseball. Correspondingly, the stadium is larger and tickets are more expensive, but the games are played at a higher level.

Smith's Ballpark is located at 77 West 1300 South in Salt Lake City. A convenient way to get there is by taking Frontrunner to the "Murray Central" transfer station and then taking the UTA Trax red line or blue line (north) to "Ballpark" station.

Finally, the Ogden Raptors, a rookie affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers, play at Lindquist Field in downtown Ogden - named the "best view" in baseball. They play the Owlz several times each season.

The rookie league teams have schedules lasting from mid-June to early September. The Bees' season mostly mirrors that of MLB, from early April to mid-September. See their team websites for details.
