==History==
While baseball had been practiced in the city prior to this, baseball in Ponce started in earnest upon the arrival of the Americans to the island after the Spanish American War of 1898. The first non-professional baseball leagues played at Campo Atlético Charles H. Terry. However, after the formation of the ''Liga de Béisbol Semiprofesional de Puerto Rico'' (Puerto Rico Semiprofessional Baseball League) in 1938,〔Thomas E. Van Hyning.

ISBN 9780786401284.〕 the sport had mature enough that it became necessary to plan on building a new stadium. This need was further exacerbated on 14 September 1941 when the League became a professional-level league.〔Thomas E. Van Hyning.

In particular, it was also used for basketball games. These were played on a convertible basketball court that was stowed away when the basket games were over.〔(''Vuelve el baloncesto al Paquito Montaner.'' ) Junior Lugo Marrero. La Perla del Sur.
