Mickey Cochrane Stadium is a soccer-specific stadium located in Bowling Green, Ohio.[1]

The stadium is home to the Bowling Green Falcons men's and women's varsity soccer teams. The field was named after Mickey Cochrane in 1980.[2] The field was enclosed in 1993, and a scoreboard added in 1994, turning the field into a stadium.[1]

Cochrane was a professional baseball player, manager and coach.[3] He is considered one of the best catchers in baseball history and became member of the Baseball Hall of Fame.[4][5][6] In his first season as manager, he led the Tigers to 101 wins, which was the most for a rookie manager for 27 years (since Cochrane, six other managers have won 100 games as a rookie).[7]

The stadium was venue to the Mid-American Conference women's soccer tournament finals in 2005[8], and 2018–2021. Bowling Green won all the finals played at Cochrane Stadium.[9][10][11]
