Normally the home of the 2006 and 2007 NCAA Champion Oregon State Beavers, during the summer this is used by the Corvallis Knights. The stadium was originally constructed in 1907, which would technically make it the oldest stadium in professional baseball. However, at some point 100% of the actual stadium section has been reconstructed. It does claim to be one of the oldest continually used fields in the NCAA. The last serious refurbishment was undertaken in 1999, with a $2.3 million donation from Eline and John Goss. A full lighting system was first installed in 2002, and the new matrix scoreboard was installed after the first championship in 2006. Currently the stadium is undergoing an expansion, which when completed will add 12 luxury boxes, and almost double the capacity to 3,000. In 2007 the Knights relocated here after two seasons in the Portland suburb of Aloha.
