- Muzzy_Field abstract "Muzzy Field is a stadium in Bristol, Connecticut. The ballpark, which is adjacent to the city's Rockwell Park, was built in 1939 and has a capacity of 4,900 people. In 2010, it was the home to the Bristol Collegiate Baseball Club of the New England Collegiate Baseball League. It is also used for high school sports, primarily baseball and football. Currently three high schools employ the field: Bristol Central High School, Bristol Eastern High School, and Saint Paul Catholic High School. The stadium features a ring of tall pine trees that line the outside of the outfield wall and the brickfaced grandstand.Muzzy Field was the home of the Double-A Bristol Red Sox of the Eastern League from 1972 to 1982. Former Boston Red Sox stars Jim Rice, Fred Lynn, and Butch Hobson honed their skills while members of the "BriSox." The ballpark also housed the old Bristol Owls of the Class-B Colonial League in 1949 and 1950, as well as various amateur baseball teams, notably the Bristol En-Dees and the local American Legion team. The Bristol Nighthawks, a now defunct franchise of the New England Collegiate Baseball League, played their home games at Muzzy Field during both 1994 and 1995. The University of Hartford's baseball program used the venue for some home games prior to opening Fiondella Field in 2006.Muzzy Field was the site of the Big East Conference baseball championship tournament from 1985–1995.In 2004 the stadium was also the site of an American Idol audition. (See The Bristol Press, August 7, 2004.)A local, though probably apocryphal, legend holds that Babe Ruth hit the first home run in Muzzy Field when traveling with a barnstorming baseball team in the late 1930s or early 1940s.[citation needed] This was the basis for the barnstorming baseball game between Joe Archambeault's formation of the exhibition New England Grey Sox (team of ex Red Sox & other ex major leaguers), with Bill Lee, Mark The Bird Fidrych, Bob Stanley, Dick McAulliffe, Dick Radatz, Ozzie Virgil, Mike Stenhouse and others against the Undefeated Bristol Fradette Agency on June 1, 1991. 5,000 came to see the pros vs the hometown heroes.Muzzy Field is also the location of the annual football "Battle for the Bell" contested by the two city public high schools, Bristol Eastern and Bristol Central. The two meet annually on Thanksgiving morning, with the winner holding claim for the bell for the following year.In 2012 and 2013, the City of Bristol approved funding for a significant renovation project of the historic ballpark that when completed, will include a whole new front entrance and public concourse, new lighting, seating, ADA improvements and a new grandstand enclosure along the Muzzy Street side of the stadium connecting to the existing grandstand. The renovations are anticipated to cost approximately $2.5 million, and be completed by late-2014 or 2015.".
