Bengal Field is an outdoor athletic stadium in the western United States, in Lewiston, Idaho. Opened in 1934 as a multi-sport athletic field,〔〔 it is currently the football stadium for Lewiston High School, located a few blocks to the northwest. The natural grass field runs conventionally north-south, with the main grandstand on the west sideline. The elevation of the field is approximately above sea level. It was formerly a minor league baseball park, the home field of the Lewiston Broncs from 1952 through 1974. The Broncs were in the Western International League (WIL) for the first three seasons and the Northwest League (NWL) for the following two decades. It also hosted the Lewiston Indians for two seasons, one in the Class B WIL in 1937, and in the Class C Pioneer League in 1939. The first night game at the park was the opening game in 1937 on April 27.〔 The field had an unorthodox southwest alignment, with the setting sun in right field; the recommended orientation of a baseball diamond (home plate to center field) is east-northeast.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Major League Baseball )〕 Owned by the school district, Bengal Field was also the home field for high school and American Legion baseball. It hosted the American Legion World Series in 1973. It transitioned into a football-only venue in the 1980s. The LHS Bengals last played baseball there in 1983, and used two venues in 1984, Harris Field and Clearwater Park (), on the north bank of the Clearwater River.〔 They now play at Dwight Church Field () in the southeast end of the city, about two miles (3 km) east of the Lewiston–Nez Perce County Airport. American Legion baseball is played at Harris Field at Lewis–Clark State College. Church (1925–94), LHS class of 1943, was the longtime head coach of the high school and Legion baseball programs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Find a Grave )〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bengal Field」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
