Rocky Miller ParkThe 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. |
