Pompano Beach Municipal Stadium was a stadium in Pompano Beach, Florida. Primarily used for baseball, it was home to the Pompano Beach Cubs and served as the spring training home of the Washington Senators from 1961 to 1971 and the Texas Rangers from 1972 to 1986. The 1989 Gold Coast Suns split their home games between Bobby Maduro-Miami Stadium and Municipal Stadium. The ballpark was dedicated on March 22, 1957. It holds 4,500 people. It was also used as the Pompano Beach High School baseball team (Tornadoes) home field.
This stadium was demolished in 2008 and re-built as several baseball fields, although without grandstands. The baseball complex, no longer a stadium, is managed by the City of Pompano Beach and hosts youth and high school baseball games.
