Rocky Miller Park
The 2008 season marks the 50th year of Rocky Miller Park and the 25th
season since its rededication.
Northwestern baseball has been played at the site of Rocky Miller Park
at Wells Field since 1943, but it was not until 1958 that the
University formally dedicated the park. The area is named after Harry
L. Wells, a former vice president and business manager at Northwestern.
A 1913 graduate of NU, Wells served the University for 20 years before
retiring in 1954.
Long the home of Northwestern baseball, Rocky Miller Park underwent
renovation in 1983 and was rededicated during ceremonies in May of
1984.
Rocky Miller Park features 600 stadium seats, a press box, as well as
an electronic scoreboard.
The Wildcats’ attraction to their stadium goes beyond its beauty and
utility; the team seems to play better there as well. Since the 1984
rededication, NU has posted a 293-200-2 (.592) record at Rocky Miller.
