McCoy Stadium, Baseball stadium in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, United States
McCoy Stadium is a baseball facility in Pawtucket with a three-level grandstand and color-coded seating sections arranged around the field. A wooden roof covers most spectator areas, providing shelter and defining the architectural style of the venue.
The stadium opened on July 4, 1942, and housed the Pawtucket Red Sox minor league team from 1970 until 2020. This long tenure established it as an important training ground for players advancing through professional baseball's development system.
The walls throughout the venue display photographs and tributes to players who started here before reaching Major League Baseball stardom. These memorials connect the place to the personal journeys of athletes who trained on this field.
The venue holds around 10,000 seats with seating options ranging from general admission areas to luxury boxes closer to the field. Visitors should note that some areas show their age, so watch your step on older stairways and walkways.
In 1981, the facility hosted professional baseball's longest game ever, when the Pawtucket Red Sox played the Rochester Red Wings over 33 innings. This legendary match remains a memorable moment in the sport's history, and fans still talk about the incredible endurance displayed that day.
