Ashley was selected as the PCL MVP. By the late 1990s, however, the stadium had become the second oldest in the league and was in disrepair. Dukes owner Bob Lozinak sold the team franchise to Portland in 2000, and Albuquerque Sports Stadium was torn down shortly thereafter. Isotopes Park was built on the old stadium's footprint. Although initially billed as a renovation of Albuquerque Sports Stadium, Isotopes Park was built almost entirely from scratch; little of the old ballpark remains apart from the playing field. Many Dodger greats, including much of the championship teams of the Dodgers from the 1970s skippered by Tommy Lasorda played at the Albuquerque Sports Stadium, including Orel Hershiser, Pedro Martínez, Steve Garvey, Mike Piazza, and Paul Lo Duca.
