Harry Grove Stadium, located in Frederick, Maryland, is the home of the Frederick Keys, a class A minor league affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles. Opened in 1990, it seats 5,400 fans. The World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) has made it an annual summer stop on its live event tours, a rarity in that it is an outdoor venue.

The stadium is named for Harry Grove, the person to first bring minor league baseball to Frederick in 1915. The Grove family also donated $250,000 to the city to help build the park and were thus honored in the naming of it.

The 2005 Class A all-star game, pitting the Carolina League against the California League, was played in Harry Grove.

Harry Grove Stadium has also been the host of various concerts. On August 19th, 2006, Bob Dylan played to a sell-out crowd during his third annual 'Summer Minor League Baseball Park Tour'.
