It is the home to several baseball teams including Northern State University[1] and the Aberdeen Smittys.[2] Formerly, it was the home to the Hub City Hotshots until they suspended operations in 2019[3] and Presentation College, which folded in 2023.[4][5] It seats 2,500. It features a full press box, bullpens, indoor restrooms, batting cages, picnic tables, and a full sized field for practice to the north.
