Memorable Moments:
This ballpark was built as part of the Works Progress Administration. Even though this bowl hosted baseball, its main purpose was high school football. It also hosted soccer, professional football, and concerts including Aerosmith and the Rolling Stones. It fell into disrepair over the years and was torn down for a smaller, more modern athletic facility. Pictures of the old seating bowl can be seen over the outfield at Fraser Field.
