Bradner Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Olean, New York. The stadium, which can accommodate both baseball and football, served as home to minor-league baseball teams including the Olean Oilers and Olean Yankees. The stadium was built in 1926 and was substantially renovated in 2013.〔Chapman, Chris (May 12, 2014). (Bradner Stadium makeover almost complete, field house is next ). ''The Buffalo News''. Retrieved May 12, 2014.〕 It holds 4,000 people and primarily serves as the home stadium of the Olean High School and Archbishop Walsh football teams, although other events are also held at the stadium. During the stadium's original baseball years, the field became notorious for its poor drainage and its configuration that had batters facing blinding sunlight when a game was played near sunset, which forced baseball games to be suspended until the sun set below the horizon. The stadium's baseball configuration was removed in the 1970s in what was then a successful effort to improve the drainage in the stadium, and when the stadium was again reconfigured for baseball decades later, the diamond was reoriented to avoid the "sun breaks."〔http://www.oleantimesherald.com/sports/article_5bdb0c7c-2390-11e5-ae50-67d557d2d7eb.html〕 In 2009, the Southern Tier Diesel of the Northeastern Football Alliance relocated from Wayland to begin play at the stadium.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Semi-pro football coming to Olean )〕 A revived Olean Oilers, this version a member of the New York Collegiate Baseball League, will take up residence at the stadium in 2013. The naming rights to the stadium have long been held by Bradner's, a local department store. The store shut down in 2014.〔Donahue, Tom (August 25, 2014).
