ISG Field is a stadium in Mankato, Minnesota, United States, with a capacity of 2,200.[1] It is primarily used for baseball, and is the home field of the Mankato Moondogs (formerly the Mankato Mashers) of the Northwoods League, a collegiate summer baseball league. Bethany Lutheran College, Mankato West High School, Loyola Catholic School, and Mankato Area Youth Baseball Association also use the venue.[1]
History
The stadium was built in 1961 as Key City Park. It was renamed for local sportswriter Franklin Rogers in 1977.[2] The first Northwoods League game at the field was played in June 1999. New additions to the park prior to 2018 included lights, a roof over the grandstand, hospitality decks down the left and right field lines, and additional seating.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Between the 2017 and 2018 MoonDogs seasons, the ballpark received $4 million in upgrades. Renovations include a fully artificial turf playing surface, new concession stand, a video board, a new hospitality deck, and other amenities.[3] The MoonDogs played their first game at the renovated stadium on May 29, 2018.[4]
It was reported in October 2020 that naming rights had been sold for 2021 and beyond to ISG, a Mankato firm chaired by one of the MoonDogs' owners, resulting in a name of ISG Field.[2]
