You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.200.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 16:45, 10 February 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Municipal Stadium''' is a [[stadium]] in [[Waterbury, Connecticut]], United States.  The stadium was built in 1930 originally as a dog track which attributes to its unique, if not odd, layout. It holds 6,000 people.

==History==
((unreferenced section|date=October 2018))
The stadium was home to minor league baseball for the majority of its existence, beginning in 1947 with the Colonial League and from 1966 to 1986 with the AA Eastern League as an affiliate of the Dodgers, Reds, Giants, Indians, Pirates, A's, and Angels.  The stadium has been home to a few historic events. Women's softball pitcher [[Joan Joyce]] struck out [[Ted Williams]], [[Dom DiMaggio]], and [[Johnny Pesky]], in order, in the stadium, and in 1947 several members of the New York Yankees including [[Joe DiMaggio]], [[Yogi Berra]], [[Phil Rizzuto]], and [[Spec Shea]], played an exhibition game against the Waterbury Timers in the stadium.

From 1984 until 1991, the stadium hosted the [[American Amateur Baseball Congress|AABC]] [[Mickey Mantle World Series]] for 15-16 year-old teams from the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico. Future Major League stars including Hall of Famer [[Ken Griffey Jr.]], 14-time All-Star [[Alex Rodriguez]], [[Mike Lowell]], [[Nomar Garciaparra]], [[Chuck Knoblauch]], [[Brad Ausmus]], [[Adam Hyzdu]], and [[Mark Newfield]] all played in the tournament over the years.

The stadium hosted NCAA Division I regional baseball games from 1988 to 1990 including an epic matchup between [[Connecticut Huskies baseball|UConn]] and [[Georgia Bulldogs baseball|Georgia]] in 1990 when Georgia went on to win the national championship.

In modern times, the stadium has played host to the Waterbury franchise of the [[New England Collegiate Baseball League]] between [[1994 NECBL season|1994]] and [[1996 NECBL season|1996]]. In 1997, the stadium became home to the [[North Shore Spirit|Waterbury Spirit]] which spent four seasons in the independent [[Northern League (baseball, 1993–2010)|Northern League]]. In 2004 the Connecticut Hammers, a professional soccer franchise owned by Peter Carli, unsuccessfully attempted to convert the stadium to a soccer-only facility.

==Current status==
It is now primarily used for sporting events, primarily football and baseball, for most of the city's high schools and youth leagues. In 2017, the stadium also hosted the AABC Mickey Mantle World Series for 15-16 year old teams from across the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada. A multi-purpose turf field/stadium has been built alongside the baseball field. The stadium is designed more like a football arena, as opposed to a baseball field, but has two smaller baseball/softball fields at each end of the field. The original baseball field has a majority of the stadium's uncovered seating along the first base line.<ref name="bpr">((cite web|url=http://www.ballparkreviews.com/wbury/wbury.htm|title=Municipal Stadium Waterbury, Connecticut|last=Merzbach|first=Brian|publisher=Ballpark Reviews|accessdate=2009-02-23))</ref>

In February 2009, Stamford, Connecticut's ''The Advocate'' reported growing concerns among state lawmakers over the US economy, and the governing of state and local funds for maintaining and improving local stadiums such as Waterbury.<ref name="advocate-news">((cite news|url=http://www.stamfordadvocate.com/localnews/ci_11760937|title=Local wish lists for money have wide scope|last=Lockhart|first=Brian|date=February 22, 2009|publisher=The Advocate|accessdate=2009-02-23)) ((Dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot))</ref>
