Bosse Field is a historic baseball stadium located at 23 Don Mattingly Way in Evansville, Indiana. Opened on June 17, 1915, the ballpark was named for Evansville mayor Benjamin Bosse, who played a major role in its development. Evansville defeated Erie 4–0 in the first game played at the new stadium.
Bosse Field is one of the oldest professional baseball stadiums still in regular use in the United States. It is generally recognized as the third-oldest, behind only Fenway Park in Boston and Wrigley Field in Chicago. The stadium was also notable as an early municipally owned professional baseball park and has hosted generations of Evansville baseball teams.
Today, Bosse Field is the home of the Evansville Otters, who have played there since 1995. The stadium is also widely known for its appearance in the 1992 film A League of Their Own, portions of which were filmed at Bosse Field.
More than a century after opening, Bosse Field remains an active baseball stadium and one of Evansville’s most recognizable historic landmarks.
