The Fort Wayne Wizards, a Single A affiliate of San Diego, play at Parkview Field built in 2009 and seating 8,100+. The field is below street level. There is a wide range of seating with grass seating in LF and RC. There appears to be folding chair seating on a building in RF. There are multiple picnic areas. There are 16 suites and the Tuthill area in CF is for private groups and provides the batter's eye. Excellent video board.
