Reviews of Beyer Peaches Stadium
"There's not anything that looks like the original stadium (or what it looked like in the movie), but it was cool seeing the original ticket booth. Just beware, there's a sketchy looking housing area across the street. Don't park in there!"
"Lots of history on this little field, information kiosk along a nice pathway tells you the history of the location."
"Such a cool place to visit. As a fan of A League of Their Own this was a must stop place for me in Rockford. The grounds are kept up and it’s a beautiful place to walk around. Worth checking out as this is a big part of American History."
"Beyer Peaches Stadium is the original location that the Rockford Peaches played baseball- what a cool piece of history! Though the original stadium no longer exists; there is a ball field, some history placards, and the original ticket booth. If you can't make it to the Midway Village Museum, this is a great spot to read up on Peaches history. The field was being watered during our visit, which tells me its well-maintained (you can also tell just by looking at it). The dugouts have murals memorializing the Peaches, very neat!"
"I was excited just to get to stop and visit here because it's just a cool place and historical memories."
