Sutter Health Park is a ballpark in West Sacramento, California, directly adjacent to downtown Sacramento. It is the home of the minor league Sacramento River Cats of the Pacific Coast League (PCL) and the temporary home of the Athletics of Major League Baseball (MLB). While serving as home of the Athletics, it is currently the smallest ballpark in MLB. Known as Raley Field from 2000 to 2019, the facility was built on the site of old warehouses and rail yards, across the Sacramento River from the state capitol building. Minor league baseball was previously played in Sacramento at Edmonds Field (1910-60) and Hughes Stadium (1974-76), both hosting the Solons. With ground broken in October 1999, the new $46.5 million stadium was estimated to take about two years to build, but ended up being finished in less than nine months.

The River Cats' home opener was played on May 15, 2000. The stadium is one of the few professional sports facilities in the nation built without a public sector contribution. Although constructed using bonds financed by the River City Stadium Financing Authority, bond payments are paid from ticket, concession, advertising, and other revenues, not taxes. Because the $46.5 million project cost was too large for the host city to finance, Christopher Cabaldon, in his first term as mayor of West Sacramento, recruited Sacramento County and Yolo County to join his city in a joint-powers agency which became the stadium financing authority. The stadium has 10,624 permanent seats and grass berms in both right and left fields for a total capacity of 14,014. Its original capacity was 14,611, but was decreased to 14,414 in 2005 with the addition of a party deck, and further decreased in 2010 with the opening of t
