Robbie Mills Field is a baseball stadium located in Laconia, New Hampshire, United States. It is the home field for the Winnipesaukee Muskrats. This team plays in the New England Collegiate Baseball League (NECBL). The Muskrats started playing here in the 2010 season. The field was built in 2005. It is named in memory of Robbie Mills, a young boy from Laconia who sadly passed away too soon.
Robbie Mills Field can hold up to 1,200 people. Fans can sit in uncovered bleachers. These bleachers are located near both the first-base and third-base dugouts. There is also a smaller bleacher section in centerfield. People can also bring their own lawn chairs. They can set them up beyond the outfield or behind the backstop.

Upgrades to Robbie Mills Field
In 2009, the field got some big upgrades. This happened after the Winnipesaukee Muskrats announced they would play there. The changes were made to meet the standards of the NECBL.
Field Improvements
The outfield fences were moved back. They are now 340 feet down the lines. They are 370 feet in the gaps. This makes the field bigger for players.
New Buildings and Seating
A press box was built on top of the existing concession stand. This is where reporters and announcers work during games. The bleachers and dugouts were also made larger. This gives more space for fans and players.
The Muskrat Monster
In 2012, something special was added to the outfield. It's an 18-foot by 88-foot green wall. This wall looks like a smaller version of the famous Green Monster at Fenway Park. This cool feature is called the Muskrat Monster. It is a very popular part of the park.
