Harry & David Field is a professional-sized baseball field located in Medford, Oregon, adjacent to US Cellular Community Park. It plays host to youth and high school baseball, the American Legion Medford Mustangs and the independent collegiate wood bat team known as the Medford Rogues. It is named for the Harry & David Corporation, which has its world headquarters located just south of the ballpark. It was the brainchild of local businessman Gary Miller.
The ballpark replaced the demolished Miles Field in 2005, though construction was never completed.[1] It is off-limits to professional teams who plan on picking Medford to set up shop under an agreement reached between the stadium and the city. It is only being used for amateur baseball and other community events under the agreement.[2]
It was initially thought that Harry & David Field was a part of the U.S. Cellular Community Park complex, but has been since determined that it is a separate entity. From 2012 to 2013, the stadium underwent a major renovation and expansion to accommodate the new Medford Rogues.
