The stadium, located in Brockton, Massachusetts, opened in 2002 and has a capacity of 4,750 spectators. It was named after Alfred Campanelli, a suburban housing mogul born in Brockton, who donated $2 million to fund a project that would "substantially benefit the people of Brockton."[1]
The main tenant, the Brockton Rox, have used the facility for home games since 2002, competing in three different professional leagues through the 2011 season. Since 2012, the team has competed in the amateur Futures Collegiate Baseball League (FCBL). The Rox hold various family-friendly actives at the park (such as face-painting or fireworks) before or after select games during their season.
The venue has been used for medium- to large-scale concerts and other events. Major music acts such as Jack Johnson, Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, and The B-52s have played at Campanelli. Other events, including The Jonas Brothers' Roadogs Softball Game, and Kevin Faulk Celebrity Softball Game, have been held at the facility. The stadium also hosts small-scale events, such as Boy Scout overnights.
The stadium has had some issues, including a raccoon infestation during 2019.[2] Brockton's superintendent of buildings stated during the peak of the problem, "Maybe we should change the mascot to the Brockton raccoons."[2] However, this issue was eventually resolved.[1]
Free automobile parking during games is available at adjacent Brockton High School. The Brockton Area Transit Authority (BATA) provides bus transportation to the stadium.[4] The rail station nearest to the stadium, Brockton station of the MBTA Commuter Rail, is located approximately 1.7 miles (2.7 km) northeast, but is next to the BAT Centre, the primary hub for BATA.
