Watertown Stadium is a stadium in Watertown, South Dakota. It was primarily used for baseball and American football and was the home of minor-league professional baseball including, most recently (circa 1970), the Watertown Expos of the Northern League. The ballpark has a capacity of 5,000 people and opened in 1940.
It is currently used by Watertown High School, to host baseball and football games.
The stadium was built around the 1930's as Works Progress Administration Project 4265, and still holds the original plaque dedicating the structure.
In 2005, an additional building was built to the East of the field. This building houses restrooms, a concession stand, and both Varsity and Sophomore locker rooms.
