Blair Field, located in Recreation Park is one of the few semi-professional baseball facilities in California. It was constructed in 1958 and over the years has fostered local amateur baseball and hosted Moore League High School Football teams, and American Legion and Connie Mack seasons. The Chicago Cubs baseball team, the Los Angeles Rams football team and Olympic teams have used the site for practice. It is a popular location for the filming of commercials, television programs and movies. It is the home of the California State University at Long Beach 49er baseball team the "Dirtbags", and the Long Beach Armada professional baseball team. Recently, $1.475 million was spent to renovate the 3,238-seat facility. New spectator seating, field lights, a playing field with state-of-the-art drainage system, and turf which exceeds professional baseball standards were installed.
