Mackenzie Stadium

Mackenzie Stadium is a baseball venue in Holyoke with natural grass playing surface and seating for around 4,100 people. The facility includes concession areas and an electric scoreboard to support games and events throughout the season.

The stadium opened in 1933 and received permanent concrete bleachers in 1938 through a federal work program. Electric lighting was added in 1959 to enable evening games and events.

The Valley Blue Sox of the New England Collegiate Baseball League play their home games at this 4,100-capacity stadium.

The venue is easy to locate in downtown Holyoke and straightforward to navigate once you arrive. It is wise to come early during games to secure parking and allow time to visit the concession areas.

The stadium honors John Mackenzie, who risked his life in 1917 by securing a depth charge during a severe storm to protect his shipmates. His act of heroism is commemorated through the naming of this community gathering place.
