Facility
Kokomo Municipal Stadium has a capacity of 4,000 people in lawn and fixed seating. The Kokomo Municipal Stadium essentially replaces the CFD Investments Stadium that was once home to the minor league Kokomo Dodgers.[6] The new stadium includes a suite level, concessions, restrooms, and locker rooms for both teams. The facility is specifically designed to host baseball games, but can also be converted for soccer, concerts or other events.[7]
Awards
In its inaugural season, Kokomo Municipal Stadium was named by Ballpark Digest as the 2015 Best Summer Collegiate Facility.[8] In the final round of voting, fans chose KMS over Athletic Park of the Northwoods League's Wisconsin Woodchucks. Not to be outdone, in the summer of 2016, Kokomo Municipal Stadium repeated as Ballpark Digest's best 2016 Summer Collegiate Facility, once again outpacing Athletic Park.[9]
