Commercial Field is an athletic field located in the Wingate neighborhood ofBrooklyn. It was home to the Commercial High Schoolsoccer,football, andbaseball teams from around 1906. Other schools, such as Boys High, also called Commercial Field their home from time to time, as did local teams in theAmerican Soccer League in the 1930s. The field was also the home field of the short-livedNew York Brickley Giants, of the earlyNational Football League, who played two games thereduring their 1921 season. In 1926, theBrooklyn Horsemen of thefirst American Football League used the stadium as their home field.

The lot was acquired by the New York Parks Department in 1940, and the field survives today as a multi-sport facility calledHamilton-Metz Field named afterUS Representative andNew York City ComptrollerHerman A. Metz and US Founding FatherAlexander Hamilton.

In 1929, a visitingBermudancricket team played several matches at Commercial Field, defeating the All-New York and All-Brooklyn teams. The Bermudans returned for more tours during the 1930s. In 2006, a $1.57 million restoration was completed, with the field relaid inartificial turf. Neighborhood residents often refer to the field by yet another name,Lefferts Park.
