Alliance Bank Stadium is an 11,117-seat minor league baseball stadium in Syracuse, New York. The stadium opened on April 10, 1997, replacing the aging MacArthur Stadium which had been home to Syracuse's professional baseball team since 1934. The stadium was previously known as P&C Stadium, a name derived from P&C Foods, the regional brand of supermarkets run by Syracuse-based Penn Traffic Corporation.

The stadium is home to the Syracuse Chiefs, the Triple-A affiliate of the Washington Nationals. From its opening through the 2007 season, the stadium's playing surface was AstroTurf, mainly due to the team's then-affiliation with the Toronto Blue Jays who used the artificial surface in their ballpark. However, after the 2007 season, the Astro Turf was removed and replaced with natural grass.

The former soccer club Syracuse Salty Dogs of the United Soccer Leagues' A-League also called the stadium home for two seasons. Though they were very popular with fans and had very high attendance, their relationships with the Chiefs and Onondaga County were not positive and the team ceased operations after their second season.
