Appalachian Power Park

Appalachian Power Park is the current home field for the West Virginia Power, a minor league baseball team in the South Atlantic League which are a Class A affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates. It also serves the baseball programs of Marshall University, West Virginia University and the University of Charleston. The stadium, which opened in April 2005, is located in the East End of Charleston, West Virginia, just outside the city's downtown in the east end. It seats 6,200 fans and cost 23 million dollars to build. The dimensions of the field are as follows: left field - 330 feet, center field - 400 feet, right field - 320 feet.

Additionally, the park hosts the West Virginia state high school baseball championships. Since 2006, it has been the home field for Marshall conference games, because the school does not have an adequate baseball facility on its campus located 50 miles (80 km) away in Huntington, West Virginia. It plays its non-conference games near campus and in Beckley, West Virginia. When West Virginia University moved from the Big East Conference to the Big 12 Conference its on campus baseball field likewise did not meet league standards, and the legislature tabled a bill to construct a taxpayer financed replacement. Thus WVU will play 9 conference games (three three game series) in Charleston for at least the 2013 season, while MU will likewise play 9 conference games (three three game series) (each team will play one three game series in Beckley), and the schools will play one another (for the first time in a decade) at the park as well . WVU previously played a single game there each year, generally against a Kentucky college.

The stadium has also hosted concerts, boxing matches, and shown television coverage of college football games on its scoreboard.

The naming rights were purchased by Appalachian Power, the West Virginia and southwest Virginia operating unit of American Electric Power.

In the ballpark's inaugural season, a Charleston baseball record 10,400 fans showed up on "Buck Night", which is a promotional night held on Thursdays where hot dogs, fountain drinks, and beer is $1.
