The Point Stadium in downtown Johnstown is the primary field used by the AAABA.
The original Point Stadium was built in 1927 and was home to many professional teams, most recently the Johnstown Johnnies. Its name comes from the fact that it sits at the confluence of the Stonycreek, Little Conemaugh, and Conemaugh Rivers. Famous ballplayers such as Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jackie Robinson, Frank and Joe Torre, and Ken Griffey, Jr. have all played games at the Point. In 2006, the stadium was rebuilt, but many of its original features were implemented in the new design. Most notably is the large fence in right field, locally known as the "Screen Monster". Due to the unique configuration of the ballpark, the fence is necessary to keep balls from hitting cars on Johns Street and to make up for the short distance to the right-field wall. As a result, the entire fence is in play.
The main entrance to Point Stadium is in center field at the start of Main Street. The AAABA Hall of Fame is located behind the ticket booths. Restrooms and concession stands are available in the concourse on both basesides.
The majority of seating at the Point is plastic bleacher seats, including the new sections in left field. Plastic seats are available behind home plate, as well as some room for lawn chairs. Additionally, the concourse in left-field offers seats and standing room.
