from 1956 to 1961. The stadium generally holds 3,000 people, but findable records show 7,000 people attended a game in 1961.

Currently the stadium is just used for local games such as high school baseball teams, and the mayor, Greg Goodnight, has stated he doesn't foresee any upcoming teams in Kokomo, although he would like to see one.
