It is primarily used for baseball, and is the home field of the La Crosse Loggers baseball team. The current stadium was built in 2003, although a substantially smaller baseball diamond existed at the site prior to the construction of the new ballpark. At the time of its construction, the stadium held approximately 2,000 people[1]; however, the success of the Loggers prompted expansions to the grandstand, bringing the capacity to its current 3,550 people.[2] The field dimensions are 325 ft. to left field, 365 ft. to center, and 315 ft. to right.
