In 1997, with local businessman Steve Nettleton providing over two million dollars in funding, Chico State's Roy Bohler Field was transformed into a 4,100-seat baseball showplace—a beautiful facility that combines a "big time" feel with a "small town" intimacy. Steve and his wife Kathy immediately gifted the new facility to the university, and Chico State responded by re-naming it Nettleton Stadium in their honor. The inaugural game was played on March 1, 1997 with the Wildcats beating Cal State Stanislaus 5-4. Chico State has hosted several CCAA Conference Championship Tournaments, as well as NCAA Tournament West Regional Tournaments at this beautiful facility.
