Harry Grove Stadium

Harry Grove Stadium

Harry Grove Stadium, located in Frederick, Maryland, is the home of the Frederick Keys, a class A minor league affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles. Opened in 1990, it seats 5,400 fans.

The stadium is named for Harry Grove, one of the founders of the Frederick Hustlers, a professional team that existed between 1915 and the World War II era. The Grove family also donated $250,000 to the city to help build the park and were thus honored in the naming of it. Another $1 million was provided by the city of Frederick along with $1.5 million provided by the state of Maryland and $250,000 from Frederick County.cite news|title=The Boys of Summers Past; Cherished Memories Resurface as Baseball Returns to Frederick|last=Duggan|first=Paul|publisher=The Washington Post|date=1989-01-12|url=http://proquest.umi.com/pqdweb?did=732069082&sid=1&Fmt=2&clientId=4807&RQT=309&VName=HNP|format=PDF|accessdate=2007-01-07]

The 2005 Class A all-star game, pitting the Carolina League against the California League, was played in Harry Grove.

Harry Grove Stadium has also been the host of various concerts. On August 19th, 2006, Bob Dylan played to a sell-out crowd during his third annual 'Summer Minor League Baseball Park Tour'. The World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) has made it an annual summer stop on its live event tours, a rarity in that it is an outdoor venue.
