Civic Stadium is a baseball field located on the corner of 20th and Willamette Street in Eugene, Oregon, United States. The stadium was built in 1938 and is the 8th oldest ballpark in professional baseball. The seating capacity is 6,800, although it is rarely that full except on the 4th of July. It has been home to the Eugene Emeralds, a Class A Northwest League Affiliate of the San Diego Padres, since 1969. It is owned by the Eugene School District and also serves as the home field for the South Eugene High School's varsity baseball team. A new ballpark, which would be shared with the University of Oregon, has been proposed to house the Emeralds in 2010.
