History

[edit | edit source]
The Steller field at Gary Haas Stadium entrance

Steller Field was built in 1964 and cost $150,000 to construct. Steller Field has seen renovations in 1965, 1968, and 2002, which has expanded the capacity of 2,500.[2] In fall 2012, a new electronic scoreboard was installed at the facility, and the backstop was renovated.[3][4] In October 2019, the stadium surrounding the field was named the Gary Haas Stadium, after former BGSU baseball player Gary Haas.[5] This changed in December of 2021 when the BGSU board of trustees voted to remove the name.[6][7]
