Daybreak Field at America First Square is a baseball park under construction in South Jordan, Utah, United States, which is scheduled to open in spring 2025.[3] It will be the home of the Triple-A Salt Lake Bees of the Pacific Coast League.[2] The ballpark will replace the Bees' former home, Smith's Ballpark, where the team has played since its founding in 1994.[5]

In May of 2023, Miller Sports + Entertainment (MSE) released renderings of Daybreak Field at America First Square. The stadium was designed by HOK and it is being built by Okland Construction.[6]

Daybreak Field is designed to meet the requirements of Major League Baseball teams. Its design includes a 12,000-sq.-ft. clubhouse, training and player development areas, and multiple batting cages.[6]

The stadium is a privately-funded venture by Miller Sports + Entertainment, owners of the Bees.[3] It is part of a larger mixed-use entertainment district within the master-planned Daybreak Community, which is expected to take more than 15 years to complete.[7]

On October 17th, 2024, the Salt Lake Bees announced on their website that the playing grass was fully installed.[8]
