Holman Stadium, Baseball stadium in Vero Beach, Florida.
Holman Stadium is a baseball facility in Vero Beach featuring a natural grass playing surface. The field extends roughly 340 feet (104 m) down the foul lines and 400 feet (122 m) to center, with seating for approximately 6,500 spectators positioned around the diamond.
The stadium opened in 1953 on grounds of a former naval installation and initially served as a spring training camp for the Brooklyn Dodgers. After the team relocated to Los Angeles, the facility adapted to host other sports organizations.
Holman Stadium's open-air dugouts, cut into the field's sides, may have inspired the dugouts in Johnny Hart's B.C. comic strip. On March 31, 1961, evangelist Billy Graham held a Good Friday service here during his Florida Crusades. Nearby Dodgertown Elementary School still carries the Dodgers' name as of 2025.
The stadium sits within the Historic Dodgertown complex, which became the Vero Beach Sports Village in 2010 and was re-branded Historic Dodgertown in 2013. The site hosts year-round youth tournaments in baseball, soccer and lacrosse, plus concerts and special events, so check which event is on before visiting. Official seating capacity is 6,500.
The open-air dugouts are cut directly into the ground along the sides of the field, and they may have inspired the dugouts drawn in Johnny Hart's B.C. comic strip. The stadium also hosted a Billy Graham Good Friday service on March 31, 1961.
