'''Centene Stadium''' is a [[stadium]] in the [[Western United States|western]] [[United States]], located in [[Great Falls, Montana]].  It is named for the [[Centene Corporation]]. which paid for the naming rights to the stadium.  Primarily a [[baseball]] [[Baseball park|park]], it is the home field of the [[Great Falls Voyagers]] independent [[minor league baseball]] team.

Built {{Time ago|1940}} in 1940, it has a [[seating capacity]] of 4,000, a picnic area, and a barbecue area.  Field dimensions are {{convert|335|ft}} to right field, {{convert|328|ft}} to left field, {{convert|415|ft}} to center field, and {{convert|368|ft}} to each power alley. Aligned northeast (home plate to second base), the [[elevation]] of the natural grass field is approximately {{convert|3400|ft|round=5}} above [[sea level]].

Just southeast of the [[Black Eagle Dam]] on the [[Great Falls (Missouri River)|Missouri River]], the baseball park is owned by the city and leased to the Great Falls Baseball Club, Inc., a&nbsp;[[non-profit organization]].  In&nbsp;exchange for maintaining the park and updates, the city requires that the three local high school ([[American Legion Baseball|American Legion]] affiliated) teams be allowed to practice and play in the stadium as long as it does not interfere with the operations of the Voyagers.

The three American Legion teams that play in the park are the Great Falls Chargers AA, Chargers A, and Chargers B.  The previous names of these teams where the Stallions, Electrics, and Chargers; the programs merged into one organization, thus the new name.
