For other persons named Bill Meyer, see Bill Meyer (disambiguation).
Bill Meyer Stadium was a baseball field located in Knoxville, Tennessee.
It was named after Billy Meyer (1892-1957), a Knoxville native who was a catcher and manager in Major League Baseball and a longtime minor league skipper.
It was used by minor league baseball teams, most recently the Knoxville Smokies, an AA Minor League Baseball team. It had a capacity of 6,400 people. The stadium was closed in 1999 after the team moved to a new stadium near Sevierville. The stands were demolished, and bleachers with capacity for about 100 people were installed.
Bill Meyer Stadium is now used as a venue for middle and high school baseball games.
