Sam Suplizio Field is a baseball park in the western United States, located in Grand Junction, Colorado. It is named after the Denver Bears right fielder, New York Yankees prospect, and MLB coach. Suplizio Field is the home of the Grand Junction Jackalopes of the independent Pioneer League. The stadium is located just northeast of downtown in Lincoln Park, east of the adjacent Ralph Stocker Stadium. Suplizio Field is also the primary home for Colorado Mesa University and local high school baseball, and has been the home of the Junior College World Series since 1958. The natural grass field is aligned southeast (home plate to second base) at an approximate elevation of 4610 ft above sea level.

Renovations

In June 2011, both Suplizio Field and Ralph Stocker Stadium underwent an $8.3 million renovation project to replace the aging original concrete bleacher section along the first base line at Suplizio, along with the original bleacher section and press box on the west side of adjoining Ralph Stocker Stadium, with a new section that includes new seating for both venues as well as a new two story press box and handicapped accessible mezzanine level which was ready for use by May 2012.
