Estadio Alfonso Chico Carrasquel is a baseball stadium in Puerto la Cruz, Venezuela. It is the home of Caribes de Anzoátegui. The stadium can seat 18,000 people and was originally built in 1959; rebuilt and opened in 1991 for professional baseball. It was named after former major league baseball player, Alfonso "Chico" Carrasquel. It was used as a multi-purpose stadium in 2006 and 2007 by hosting soccer games for the local team Deportivo Anzoátegui
The stadium has hosted two Caribbean Series in 1994 and 1998.
