W. Leo Shields Memorial Field is the sports field on the campus of Barnstable High School, in the Cape Cod area. It is named after W. Leo Shields, who was an all-star athlete, coach, athletic director, and many other things during his 48 years of life. It is home to the Barnstable Red Raiders and formerly to the Cape Cod Crusaders. Current plans are for an expansion to be completed in the coming years. These plans include a turf field, new bleachers and press box, a new track, and expanded bleachers for the opposing teams. The plans are currently on hold due to the faltering economy, but only a million dollars more are needed before the first shovelful of earth can be turned
