V.A. Memorial Stadium
"Home of the Chillicothe Paints"

The Chillicothe Paints make their home at the Veterans Administration Memorial Stadium located on the V.A. Hospital campus. The stadium is located just 3 miles north of Chillicothe on State Route 104. It was constructed in 1954 by the "Blue Star Mothers of America."  A commemorative plaque attached to the wall in the concession area of the stadium reads, "In Living Remembrance of Those Who Served to Preserve the Ideals of this Nation and in Love of Fellow Man."

Originally, the stadium and playing surface was to provide a place for softball games, played by the thousands of veterans who were long-term patients at the V.A. Hospital. In 1993, with the cooperative effort of the V.A. Administration, the Paints' organization completely renovated the stadium.

During the winter of 2006, a cooperative effort between the Ross County Commissioners and the Convention Facilities Authority resulted in VA Memorial Stadium receiving a new playing surface named FieldTurf.
Also, a new wooden deck was constructed along the left-field foul line.  VA Memorial Stadium is now a true multi-purpose facility that hosts numerous non-baseball events including soccer, football and soccer games.  Also, many concerts and other entertainment events can occur at the stadium.

The facility that the Paints call home is one of the most unique and intimate ballparks in all of baseball.  In 2007, VA Memorial Stadium drew over 200,000 fans in over 300 events throughout a 10-month period.  In addition to hosting Paints' games, the stadium is host to various other events. The Mid-American Conference will hold it's Baseball Championship at VA Memorial Stadium in May 2008.  The Great Lakes American Legion Tournament will be played in August 2008.  The Ohio High School Athletic Association plays their District and Regional baseball and soccer tournaments at VA Memorial.  The Stadium is also the site of numerous collegiate and high school baseball games in the spring along with soccer and adult softball in the fall.  VA Memorial Stadium was the site of the historic Ralph Bell Crusade in 1997 and the Boston Pops Concert in 2003.  The hospital also hosts numerous veteran's activities including POW-MIA Recognition Day and a Veteran's Day Parade .
