Luis A. Canena Marquez Stadium is a baseball stadium located in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. It is the home to the Aguadilla Sharks of the Double-A Superior Baseball League that plays from mid-February to late-April/early May.
The stadium was built under the municipal administration of Alfredo Gonzalez in 1981 to substitute for the old Columbus Field located in Columbus Park in Downtown Aguadilla. The new stadium was to be located next to Las Casadas Water Park. It has a capacity of 5,000 spectators. Also houses the city Civil Defense offices and the Aguadilla EMS System in the stadium.
[edit] "Canera Marquez"
A bronzed statue of Luis A. Canena Marquez is located in front of the stadium.
[edit] Role in the Central American and Caribbean Games Mayaguez 2010
The Stadium will be remodeled to be the temporary home for the Mayaguez Indians of the Puerto Rican Professional Baseball League starting in November of 2007 as a result of their current home, the Isidoro García Baseball Stadium, being demolished to make way for the construction of a new stadium for the 2010 Central American and Caribbean Games.
[edit] Other Uses
Besides baseball, the Stadium has also hosted Christian Concerts, Religious Gatherings, High School graduations, and Little League Baseball games and inaugurations.
