Bowen Field is a stadium in Bluefield, Virginia, United States. Primarily used for baseball, it is the home field of the Bluefield Blue Jays minor league baseball team, and of the Bluefield College Rams baseball team. It was built in 1939, but rebuilt in 1975 after a fire and holds 3,000 people.[1] Seats are from the Anaheim Stadium and installed in 1990s.[2]
The stadium is located in the city park of Bluefield, West Virginia, and is operated by the West Virginia city. However, the park straddles the Virginia–West Virginia state line, and Bowen Field lies completely on the Virginia side of the park.[3]
