Before being renamed Frank DeLuca Hall of Fame Field, it previously was known as Textron Lycoming Field and AlliedSignal Field. Originally named Avco Lycoming Field and built in 1966, the field has undergone several renovations.

Thanks to the Town of Stratford and the State of Connecticut, the renovations to transform Frank DeLuca Hall of Fame Field into a state-of-the-art softball facility are nearly completed. Regular-season seating capacity is now 1,800. The section of bleachers behind home plate features six rows of club seating and seven rows of bleacher-style seating with back rests. The sections on first and third base lines are regular style bleacher seats, while three additional sections have been installed down the right field line.

Lights, a concession stand located directly behind home, restrooms a 300-car parking lot have all been added. DeLuca Field has the capability to accommodate 500 cars with an adjacent 700-car lot available for state, regional and national events. The field renovations cost approximately $1 million, all of which came from state and town funding.

Since 1988, the Stratford Brakettes women’s major fast pitch team has called Frank DeLuca Hall of Fame Field home. Prior to that, the team played at Raybestos Memorial Field, which is located in the center of town, for 40 years. Beginning in 1947, the team’s 58-year history has been a storied one. No other team has won as many national titles (26) nor world titles (3) and no other team has had more players (16) named to the National Hall of Fame.
