About Shea Field

Welcome to Eddie Pellagrini Diamond at Harrington Athletics Village, the current home of Boston College baseball and softball. Located on BC's Brighton Campus at 2125 Commonwealth Avenue, Brighton, MA 02135, this facility carries the legacy of the historic Shea Field (Commander John Shea Field) while serving today’s Eagles with modern seating and amenities. The venue sits adjacent to the former Shea Field footprint, which opened in 1961 and was renamed in 1997 as the Eddie Pellagrini Diamond in honor of BC’s longtime coach. Though Shea Field was demolished in 2018 as BC moved operations to Harrington Athletics Village, the site’s spirit lives on in a venue that provides reliable access, steady seating capacity, and a welcoming environment for fans.

Whether you’re visiting for a regular-season game, a postseason event, or a special showcase, we’ve got you covered with practical details to help you secure your seats and plan your trip in advance.
