Historic Horlick Field

Historic Horlick Athletic Field, located on the north side of Racine, WI, is comprised of an 8,500 seat football stadium and a well kept baseball park enclosed within stone walls and chain fences.

Football has been a part of Historic Horlick Field's history since as early as 1922, when it was the home for the Racine Horlick Legion. Now the Racine Raiders, members of the North American Football League, call Historic Horlick Field their home.

The baseball diamond is the site for many of the local tournaments and championship games. Teams from the high schools and local leagues also play their regular season games there. The park has been known as the home of the Old Timer's Athletic Club Softball Tournament for over three decades. The Racine Belles, immortalized in the film A League of Their Own, called Historic Horlick Field their home while the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League was in existence.
