Stadium Reviews

The Cape Cod League is considered to be the premier summer collegiate baseball league in the nation. With one out of every four major leaguers today able to trace his roots to the Cape, the numbers bear out this claim. While the talent is certainly Major League, the feel at the ballparks is small town. This is certainly true in Bourne, where the entire facility has been designed, built and maintained by the students at the technical high school on site.

While Guv Fuller Field is rarely mentioned as being one of the better fields in the Cape League, it shares many features with the most popular ballparks. Fuller Field’s location in downtown Falmouth makes it a destination location in a league filled with them. With all ten teams located within an hour of each other, there is no need to choose just one field during a visit to Cape Cod. It’s entirely possible to visit them all in a short period of time.

Parsons Field is a very interesting place to catch a college baseball game. It’s historic and modern at the same time. It’s big-time baseball in a small-time setting. It’s a quiet neighborhood ballpark just blocks from one of the busiest parts of Boston. Somehow here, at this sleepy little park in the shadows of Fenway Park, a regional baseball power has emerged.

While the Tsongas Center has not been an ideal location for the Fleet due to its location far outside of Boston, it is a quality home for professional hockey. The PWHL has been an overwhelming success in its first two seasons, and the Boston market has proven to be worthy of inclusion in the league.

Despite Merrimack’s reluctance to acknowledge their home field, the baseball field at Greater Lawrence Technical School is a solid facility.

Freshman Field is a basic facility that does just what it is asked to do, and little more.
