The 4,513-seat facility was named Newman Outdoor Field in 1998. Since opening the gates in 1996, Newman Outdoor Field has welcomed more than five million baseball fans through its doors. In an homage to former New York Yankee great Roger Maris, who played for the Fargo-Moorhead Twins in the 1950s, the dimensions of Newman Outdoor Field’s outfield walls are a carbon copy of the original Yankee Stadium’s. The park’s dimensions — 318’ to left field, 408’ to center and 314’ to right field. The field’s surface is natural grass.
