Red McEwen Field (originally USF Baseball Field) was a baseball venue located on the campus of the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida, United States. It opened in 1967 and had a capacity of 2,500 for most of its history. "The Red" was home to the South Florida Bulls baseball team from 1967 to 2010.[1] Besides hosting USF baseball for over 40 years, Red McEwen Field was the temporary home of the Class-A minor league Tampa Yankees, who played their first two seasons there in 1994 and 1995 while their permanent home at Legends Field was under construction.[2]

Red McEwan Field was demolished after the Bulls' 2010 baseball season and the new USF Baseball Stadium was built at the same location in time for their 2011 season.[3]
