Quick Facts Location, Owner ...

The first incarnation of Arute Field was on land now occupied by the Elihu Burritt Library. The field was moved to its current location in the late 1960s. Jack Arute Sr., the owner of what was then one of the state's largest construction businesses, built the first field to bear his family's name.

The second incarnation of the stadium was built in 1970 and demolished in 1998. The third and current version of the stadium was built on the same site of the second one, and opened in November 2000.[2] Before the 2012 season, 2,500 seats were added to the east side of the stadium as well as a new state-of-the-art video board.[5]
