Telus Field

Telus Field was built in 1995 as the new home for the Triple-A Edmonton Trappers, who played in the PCL from 1981-2004. When the Trappers were purchased and moved to Round Rock, Texas, as a new Texas League franchise, the independent Northern League expanded north of the border in 2005. While also picking up a new marketing in Calgary, the Northern League added the Edmonton Cracker Cats, who moved to the GBL in 2008.

The team changed the name from Cracker Cats to Capitals in 2009 as a nod to the capital city of the province of Alberta. Take a look around Telus Field (and maybe a bit of the West Edmonton Mall, too) in the latest Ballpark Tour.
