'Canwest Global Park' is the home of the
Winnipeg Goldeyes Northern League baseball team in
Winnipeg, Manitoba. It is a modern stadium that opened May 24,
1999, with the 3rd largest seating capacity (after Edmonton's
Telus Field and Calgary's
Foothills Stadium) in the league (7,400). The stadium is located in downtown Winnipeg, within sight of Winnipeg's renowned
Portage and Main intersection and immediately adjacent to
The Forks National Historic Site. It is named after
Canwest Global,
Canada's largest international media company, but sometimes goes by the nickname "The Fishbowl" ("goldeye" being a species of freshwater fish native to Winnipeg's waterways).
