Mel Olson Stadium, originally known as White Center Stadium, was built in 1940 and became a hub for community entertainment. After a devastating fire in 1977, local activist Mel Olson successfully advocated for its reconstruction, resulting in the new stadium's opening in 1979, which now accommodates around 1,500 spectators.

Since its inception, Mel Olson Stadium has seen various upgrades, including a transformation of the infield surface to AstroTurf in 2008. The stadium continues to benefit from community support, with ongoing plans to enhance seating, the scoreboard, and concourse areas for an improved experience for both fans and players.
