Reeves Field, also known as Reeves Stadium is a football stadium located on the campus of Geneva College in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, United States. It was named in honor of local banker John T. Reeves, whose heirs donated land for the complex.
Constructed in 1925, Reeves Field is one of the oldest sports venues in Pennsylvania. The current seating capacity is 5,500. The stadium hosts the Geneva College Golden Tornadoes and the local high school football team, the Beaver Falls Tigers. Notable football players who played at Reeves include Joe Namath and Cal Hubbard.
The stadium has also hosted the Victory Bowl twice at Geneva, which is a championship football game for the NCCAA. The first game was in 2003 when Geneva defeated North Greenville College and the second in 2007 when Malone College defeated the Golden Tornadoes with a score of 45-17. This became Malone's first win in the Victory Bowl. It was also Geneva's first loss, having won the championship in 1998, 1999, 2002, and 2003.
In the fall of 2007, the Golden Tornadoes played their first season as part of the Presidents' Athletic Conference at Reeves.
