It is not uncommon to find softballl fields, parks,
etc named "Nike
Field." There is one in the Chicago suburbs which still has a
platform that used to hold the radome.
South end of Arlington Heights. When I was in high school (1967-69),[1]
there were two or three radomes at the site--which was in the middle
of large corn (maize, for our cousins across the Atlantic) fields,
which have been industrial parks and suburban housing since the 1970s.
[1] Junior and senior years.
