List of Midwest League stadiums

Parkview Field was built in 2009 and is home to the Fort Wayne TinCaps.
Fans Field, shown here in 1975 shortly before demolition, was the former home of the Decatur Commodores.

There are twelve stadiums in use by Midwest League (MWL) baseball teams. The oldest stadium is Modern Woodmen Park (1931) in Davenport, Iowa, home of the Quad Cities River Bandits. The newest stadium is ABC Supply Stadium (2021) in Beloit, Wisconsin, home of the Beloit Sky Carp. One stadium was built in each of the 1930s and 1980s, three in the 1990s, six in the 2000s, and one in the 2020s. The highest seating capacity is 11,000 at Jackson Field in Lansing, Michigan, where the Lansing Lugnuts play. The lowest capacity is 3,850 at ABC Supply Stadium.

Since its founding in 1947, there have been approximately 50 stadiums located among over 40 municipalities used by the league, including the periods when it was known as the Illinois State League (1947–1948) and the Mississippi–Ohio Valley League (1949–1955).[1] Of the stadiums with known opening dates, the oldest to have hosted MWL games was then-Municipal Park (1914) in Dubuque, Iowa, home of the Dubuque Packers/Royals and Midwest Dodgers. ABC Supply Stadium (2021) is also the newest among all MWL stadiums. The highest known seating capacity is 11,000 at Jackson Field.
