Fraser Field was built in 1940. Like
Holman Stadium in
Nashua, New Hampshire, Fraser was a project of the
Works Progress Administration during the
New Deal. The
Lynn Sailors, an affiliate of the
Seattle Mariners, played at Fraser from 1980 through 1982, changing its name to the Lynn Pirates when its affiliation changed to the
Pittsburgh Pirates. The roof was repaired but cut back in size. When the Spirit folded, Lopardo removed the portable clubhouses and video scoreboard, but other improvements remained in place. In 2006 and 2007, the opening round of the Beanpot, a college baseball tournament featuring
Boston College,
Northeastern University,
The University of Massachusetts, and
Harvard University, was played at Fraser Field. In 2008, the
North Shore Navigators of the
New England Collegiate Baseball League began play at Fraser, having moved from
Holyoke. The club won its first NECBL title in 2010. In 2012, the Navigators were acquired by Salvi Sports Enterprises, which switched the club to the newer
Futures League with its focus on larger ballparks and professional management. In 2019, the roof had again deteriorated so as to endanger fans, and the Navigators began the season with the central seating section again roped off. In 2020, the Navigators were sold to the January family of Swampscott and netting was attached to the underside of the roof to catch any further falling concrete. The club returned to the NECBL in 2021. ==Field structure==
