Wheeler Field was a proposed 5,000-seat[1] ballpark in Virginia Beach, Virginia. It was supposed to host the Virginia Beach Neptunes of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball, an unspecified team in a summer wooden-bat league, and a junior college team from Tidewater Community College's Virginia Beach campus.[1] Wheeler Capital, a limited liability company that specializes in venture capital financing and small business loans throughout the Mid-Atlantic states, purchased the naming rights for the stadium for an undisclosed amount through 2025.[3]

In February 2014, Virginia Beach Professional Baseball received city council approval for a ballpark near the Virginia Beach Sportsplex with completion expected by April 2015.[2] The proposal included a 60,000 square feet (5,600 m2) building designed for Sentara sports medicine, team offices, and 13 recreational athletic fields surrounding Wheeler Field.[1] Subsequent changes deferred three of the fields to a later second phase of the project with the ballpark opening in 2017 and the entire project estimated to cost $37 million.[4]
