Nettleton Stadium

In 1997, with local businessman Steve Nettleton providing more than $2 million in funding, Chico State’s Roy Bohler Field was transformed into a 4,100-seat baseball showplace, a beautiful facility that combines a big-time feel with a small-town intimacy. Steve and his wife, Kathy, immediately gifted the new facility to the university, and Chico State responded by re-naming it Nettleton Stadium in their honor. The inaugural game was played on March 1, 1997, with the Wildcats beating Cal State Stanislaus, 5-4.
