The ballpark has a seating capacity of 4,000 and has an outdoor patio that holds 500 people, which brings the total capacity to 4,500.

History

The stadium was built in 1938. It was previously the home of the original Trois-Rivières Aigles, operating in the Eastern League from 1971 to 1977. It was then the home of the Trois-Rivières Saints of the Canadian Baseball League in 2003.

In 1971, a major junior baseball team started playing at Stade Municipal. They are the Trois-Rivières Jr. Aigles, who currently plays in the Ligue de Baseball Junior Élite du Québec (LBJEQ).

In 2012, the Can-Am League expanded to Trois-Rivières. The new team, the Trois-Rivières Aigles, began to play at the stadium in 2013. The team currently plays in the Frontier League at its 11th season of existence.
