Mansfield Stadium

In 1989, David Mansfield, Neil Waterman, Stephen King, and Ron St.Pierre coached the Bangor West 11-12 year old all-star team that won the State Championship, and went on to the Regional Tournament in Bristol, CT. From that team, a dream was born that our local boys should have a better facility to play at. Stephen and Tabitha King were generous enough to build a new $1.2 million stadium that they then donated to the City of Bangor.

The stadium was named after Shawn Trevor Mansfield, David's son, who had cerebral palsy and was confined to a wheelchair his whole life, and passed away at the age of 14. At the entrance of the stadium, there is a plaque dedicating the stadium to Shawn, and all the other boys who never got a chance to play baseball.

Current funding for the stadium is provided in part by the City of Bangor's Parks and Recreation budget, which takes care of a base staff of college students in need of a summer job, and the utility costs to operate. The remaining funds for everything else must be raised through money made at the Stadium through ticket sales and concession income. In all, those remaining funds range from $50,000-$75,000 per year, depending on the weather and amount of repairs we need to do.

Today, the stadium is the host of multiple leagues and tournaments. We are the home field for Bangor High School, Bangor Junior & Senior League, and the Bangor Comrades American Legion team. From 2002-2016, we were the proud host of the Senior League World Series.
