MacArthur Stadium was a stadium in Syracuse, New York. It was primarily used for baseball and was the home of Syracuse Chiefs before they moved to P&C Stadium, (later changed to Alliance Bank Stadium) in 1997. The ballpark had a capacity of 8,416 people when it opened (as Municipal Stadium) in 1934. Its capacity was increased to 10,006 before it was renamed in honor of General Douglas MacArthur in 1942. The stadium was razed in 1997 to provide a parking lot for the newly-built P&C Stadium/Alliance Bank Stadium.
In 1936, Municipal Stadium was the home field of the Syracuse Braves of the second American Football League.
