The Lewiston High School Athletic Association acquired the land for Bengal Field in 1926, and the field was first used for football in 1934. By 1937, pro baseball teams were using it and would continue to do so for nearly forty years.
Besides the pros, Lewiston HS and the local American Legion team used the field through 1983. In 1973, the American Legion World Series came to Bengal Field. For the 1984 season, it was converted into a football-only facility, which it remains today.
I was not able to get into Bengal Field on my 2020 visit.
