Thanks to a recently-completed $8.3 million renovation, Sam Suplizio Field is one of the premier baseball stadiums in the country, and serves as home to the Junior College World Series. Suplizio Field also is the home to the Grand Junction Jackalopes (Independent-Pioneer League), the Mesa County School District 51 baseball teams and former home to the Colorado Mesa University (NCAA II, RMAC) baseball team .
Suplizio Field is named after former Denver Bears right fielder, New York Yankees prospect, MLB Coach, and longtime JUCO World Series Tournament Chairman Sam Suplizio.
In June 2011, both Suplizio Field and Ralph Stocker Stadium underwent an $8.3 million renovation project to replace the aging original concrete bleacher section along the first base line at Suplizio, along with the original bleacher section and press box on the west side of adjoining Ralph Stocker Stadium, with a new section that includes new seating for both venues as well as a new two story press box and handicapped accessible mezzanine level.
Two more projects were completed before the 2023 and 2024 tournaments that replaced the main grandstands, adding stadium seating behind home plate, new field lighting and a new padded outfield fence.
