![]() New planned facility changes to the popular Isotopes Park in Albuquerque could see the upgrading of locker rooms for both players and coaches, among other improvements. Officials with the park, which is located at 1601 Avenida Cesar Chavez SE, are asking members of the New Mexico State Legislature to give a green light to up to $2 million in capital outlay funding for the projects. Officially opened in the spring of 2003, what is officially known as the Rio Grande Credit Union Field at Isotopes Park is the home to the Albuquerque Isotopes baseball team. Built at a cost of $25 million, the park has seen several upgrades through the years, with the overall facility required to be up to Minor League Baseball standards. Additional changes expected to be funded via the requested capital outlay: new changing rooms for women players, an expansion of an existing weight room, and upgraded players’ dining facilities. Cooling and heating system upgrades to the park were among the facility projects undertaken in 2020 and paid for in part by the city’s Lodgers’ Tax. By Garry Boulard
