Gill Stadium

Gill Stadium is a sporting complex located in the city of Manchester, New Hampshire.

Originally known as Textile Field, Gill Stadium was constructed in 1913 by the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company for the firm's amateur baseball club. The facility was purchased by the City of Manchester in 1927 and named Athletic Field. The name was changed to Gill Stadium in 1967, after former Parks and Recreation Director Ignace J. Gill.

Over the years, Gill Stadium has served as the home field for numerous high school and American Legion ballclubs. The stadium served as host for the American Legion World Series on five occasions.

Gill Stadium has also hosted professional baseball. The Manchester Giants of the New England League called Athletic Field, as it was then known, home during the 1950s, and in the 1960s and 1970s, the Manchester Yankees played there.

Most recently, Gill Stadium was the home of the Eastern League's New Hampshire Fisher Cats. The AA affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays captured the 2004 EL title while playing at Gill. In 2005, the Fisher Cats moved to a new stadium on the banks of the Merrimack River near downtown Manchester.

Gill Stadium continues to serve as the home of numerous amateur teams in Manchester's thriving baseball community.
