One of the most picturesque ballparks in the Pacific Northwest — and a fitting host for a regional with this much on the line. Sweeping Rogue Valley views, a manicured playing surface, and a passionate Southern Oregon fanbase have made Harry & David Field a regional-tournament staple for generations.
Harry & David Field has been the home of Oregon's winningest American Legion program for decades. Five regional championships have been won on this field, alongside 18 state titles and a player development pipeline that's produced 27 MLB Draft Picks. Every square foot of the place tells a piece of Pacific Northwest baseball history.
Visiting players and coaches consistently rank it among the prettiest ballparks they've competed at. Mountain backdrops, Rogue Valley sunsets, and warm Southern Oregon evenings give every game a postcard quality — the kind of setting where you remember the night, not just the score.
Harry & David Field sits in east Medford, just a few minutes from I-5, downtown, and Rogue Valley International–Medford Airport (MFR) — which has nonstop flights from most major Northwest cities.
