In 1971, a major junior baseball team started playing at the stadium, the Trois-Rivières Jr. Aigles, who plays in the Ligue de Baseball Junior Élite du Québec (LBJEQ).
In 2012, the Can-Am League expanded to Trois-Rivières. The new team, the Trois-Rivières Aigles, began to play at the stadium in 2013. The team currently plays in the Frontier League at its 11th season of existence.
On August 28, 2015, a stadium record crowd of 6,022 invaded the Fernand-Bédard Stadium as former Major League Baseball pitcher Éric Gagné, was the starting pitcher for one game in a Aigles uniform.[6] The Aigles were able to pull a 5–3 win against their provincial rival Québec Capitales.
Naming
The stadium was originally named as Stade Municipal de Trois-Rivières from 1938 to 2001. The name then changed to Stade Fernand-Bédard, and then to Stade Stéréo Plus in December 2016. The change to Stade Quillorama was announced in December 2019. Quillorama is a large bowling centre in the province of Quebec.[7]
