About
Hersheypark Stadium is a stadium in Hershey, Pennsylvania, on the grounds of Hersheypark. It opened on May 18, 1939.
It is used as a sporting facility, concert venue and location for various other large functions (including a birthday gala for President Dwight D. Eisenhower).
As a concert venue it was played by the Grateful Dead on June 28, 1985 and, as it was raining for the whole of the band's performance, Jerry Garcia (unusually) wore a jacket over his t-shirt all the while he was onstage.
It also hosts the Tournament of Bands Atlantic Coast Championship marching band competition every November. It formerly hosted the Cavalcade of Bands championship competition.
The Philadelphia Eagles held its preseason training camp at the stadium from 1951 to 1963 and 1965 to 1967.
