Perkins Field is one of the valley's best facilities and serves the Bridgeport School District well. Every summer Perkins Field is also home to the school's alumni gathering. Perkins Field also contains Niekro Diamond, the site for Bulldog baseball and softball as well as a site for the Beast of the East Baseball tournament. The fields have also held Ohio Playoff Football games, sectional baseball games, and OVAC quarterfinal and semi-final baseball games.
