The new Yaquis Baseball Stadium proudly portrays typical features of the region: exposed brick, neutral colors and transparencies resemblance the atmosphere of its surroundings. Its design is based on nine delimited structures that patterned the roof, which have been inspired by 8 native tribes that founded the roots of the State of Sonora and a ninth, Yaquis that represents the current situation of the team and the city.
The result is a space designed for an overall pleasant experience, including retail stores, food courts, halls and corridors designated for pure entertainment.
The main building is made of sandblasting concrete blocks giving the idea it is growing from the ground itself. At the same time, the accents of aggregate stone material confer a vintage touch without losing the contemporary character of the metallic and translucent elements presenting an air of modernity.
