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 new press box and expanded bleachers for the opposing teams. During the annual Thanksgiving football game with rival Falmouth High School, the new track and field was unveiled. The field was renovated with a FieldTurf playing surface replacing the grass one as well as a new track to replace the crumbling one that had existed there for almost thirty years.
