LIFE AT BREESE STEVENS FIELD: From Ballgames to Concert Nights

For over a century, Breese Stevens Field has stood as one of Madison's most cherished gathering places - a rare venue where the past and present meet under the lights. From the crack of the bat in its early baseball days to the chants of Forward Madison FC fans, from neighborhood festivals to sold-out summer concerts, this iconic field has been more than a sports arena. It's been a stage for the city's memories.

In Life at Breese Stevens Field, Eric Baer takes readers behind the sandstone walls to uncover the rich history, the unforgettable moments, and the people who keep the tradition alive. You'll explore the early years of small-town baseball glory, witness the rebirth of the stadium as a modern multi-use venue, and feel the electricity of a crowd united by sport, music, and community spirit.

Blending vivid storytelling with historical insight, this book is a tribute to Madison's east side landmark - not just as a place where events happen, but as a living part of the city's cultural heartbeat. Whether you're a lifelong Madisonian, a sports enthusiast, or simply a lover of great local stories, Life at Breese Stevens Field will make you see this beloved stadium in a whole new light.
