Nickerson Field is a stadium on the site of Braves Field, in Boston, Massachusetts, the former home of the National League Boston Braves baseball team which is now located in Atlanta. Parts of Braves Field, such as the entry gate and right-field pavilion, remain as portions of the stadium.
The stadium is now owned by Boston University, and is the home field for many of the school's athletics programs, including soccer and lacrosse. It was also the home of BU's football team until the school dropped the sport following the 1997 season.
From the mid-1980s to 1995, the stadium hosted the New England Scholastic Band Association's marching band field show championships.
