Capaha Field is a baseball venue in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, United States.[1] It is home to the Southeast Missouri State Redhawks college baseball team of the NCAA Division I Ohio Valley Conference.[2] The field is located two blocks away from the Southeast Missouri State campus. It has a capacity of 2,000 spectators[3] and is also home to the Prospect League summer collegiate Cape Catfish, the amateur Cape Capahas baseball team and local youth American Legion baseball.[4] [5]

Capaha Field underwent a $1.8 million renovation that featured new synthetic turf. Other upgrades to the facility included a new scoreboard equipped with a video board, a new outfield fence, new bullpens, as well as other cosmetic upgrades including new paint and fencing all around the field. Capaha Field includes a press box which was completed prior to the start of the 2006 season. The press box, which is equipped with wireless broadband internet access, televisions, a kitchen/lounge area and restroom, gives staff and media a view behind home plate.[6]
