San Diego Toreros baseball (1970-2012)

John Cunningham Stadium was a baseball venue located on the campus of the University of San Diego in San Diego, California, United States. It was home to the San Diego Toreros baseball team, a member of the Division I West Coast Conference. The park was built in 1970 and renovated in 2003. Renovations included the additions of synthetic turf in foul territory, a press box, and a public address system. The field had a capacity of 1,200 seats, all of which were chair-backed.[1]

The stadium was dedicated in 1988 for former San Diego baseball coach John Cunningham. Cunningham was the Torero head coach for 34 seasons.[1][2]

The field was located at 5998 Alcala Park, San Diego, California.[3]

Cunningham Stadium was demolished and replaced by a new venue after the 2012 season. The new ballpark, Fowler Park, was built on the site occupied by Cunningham Stadium.[4]
