Carey Stadium is an open-air multi-purpose stadium located just off the boardwalk in Ocean City, New Jersey.[1] The stadium is primarily used by the Ocean City School District for Ocean City High School's football, soccer, and lacrosse teams.

Carey Stadium is also known as the home field for the Ocean City Nor'easters (formerly named Ocean City Barons) of the Premier Development League. The club has called the stadium home since 2005.[5] In 2016, the stadium's natural grass field was replaced with a new FieldTurf surface made of all-natural cork fill instead of crumb rubber.[3][6]
