Bicentennial Park is a baseball and softball stadium in Allentown, Pennsylvania. The park, originally named after the bicentennial year in which it was renovated, was officially renamed Earl F. Hunsicker Bicentennial Park after Hunsicker's death in 1987;[1][2] it was renamed ECTB Stadium at Earl F. Hunsicker Bicentennial Park in 2005. ECTB is an acronym for the Elite Championship Tournament Baseball, a youth baseball organization.[3]
The stadium and land around it are owned by the City of Allentown and currently leased to the ECTB, which in turn sublets the stadium to numerous community organizations which host events there throughout the year. The ballpark currently seats 4,600.
