Bernie Arbour Memorial Stadium, Baseball stadium in Hamilton, Canada
Bernie Arbour Memorial Stadium is a baseball stadium in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, with a main grandstand and open bleacher seating along the baselines. The facility also has dedicated media spaces that support broadcast coverage of games and events held on the field.
Built in 1970, the stadium was created when Civic Stadium was renovated for football only, leaving baseball without a home there. It is named for Bernie Arbour, a former Hamilton Police Sergeant who directed the Hamilton Police Minor Athletic Association from 1948 until his death in 1967. The minor league Hamilton Redbirds of the New York–Penn League once played here.
The stadium honours Bernie Arbour, a Hamilton Police sergeant who directed the Hamilton Police Minor Athletic Association from 1948 until his death in 1967. The venue carries his name because of that long run organising minor sport for the city's young athletes.
The stadium is an outdoor venue, so visitors should dress for the weather typical of the Hamilton region and come prepared for sun or rain. Arriving early gives a better choice of seating, since spots in the main grandstand tend to fill up ahead of game time.
The outfield dimensions at this stadium are not symmetrical, meaning the distances to the walls vary depending on the direction of the hit. This gives the field a layout that differs from most standard baseball venues and creates slightly different conditions for each game.
