Prince George's Stadium in Bowie, MD, is the home of the Bowie Baysox, the Baltimore Orioles' Double-A Eastern League farm team. It was also the Orioles' 2020 Coronavirus pandemic alternate training site.

PGS was supposed to open with the 1994 season. Oriole Park at Camden Yards had opened in 1992, and thus-vacated Memorial Stadium filled the gap between the Baysox' last season as the Hagerstown Suns and Prince George's scheduled opening. However, when off-season weather delayed construction, the Baysox juggled their first 31 home games of 1994 among the playpens of the Frederick Keys, the Wilmington Blue Rocks, the U.S. Naval Academy Midshipmen, and the University of Maryland Terrapins. They finally played their first game in Prince George's on June 14th.

PGS premiered minor league baseball's invented-runner rule on Opening Day 2018. Mandated by [[MLB], the rule was modified from a 2008 International Baseball Federation invention that placed runners at first and second as the 11th or any later inning began. MLB's modifications were to start it in the 10th inning - the eighth in scheduled seven-inning games such as double-headers - and to reduce the chance of a double play by putting only one runner on, at second. MLB first used it at its own level in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, continued it on a temporary basis the next two seasons, and made it permanent in 2023. It remained in play in the minors throughout.

Prince George's is named not for a colonial monarch but for the county that was named for him - a Danish prince who was the husband and royal consort of 18th-century British Queen Anne - and in which the ballpark lies. However, it is not county-owned; the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission owns the ballpark and operates it jointly with the Baysox.

MLB's 2021 Minor League Reorganization greatly expanded existing standards for stadiums hosting affiliated teams. The state later folded upgrades for minor-league parks into a billion-dollar measure that will also improve the homes of the Orioles and the NFL's Baltimore Ravens. The owners of the home stadiums of the Baysox, the Aberdeen IronBirds and Delmarva Shorebirds - all MLB-affiliated teams in Maryland - are seeking shares of that money to bring their ballparks up to grade.

Despite its stated capacity, it has held more than 14,000 fans several times. The house record - 14,109 on August 22, 1998 - is the largest ever at any of the 30 stadiums currently housing Double-A ball.
