Copeland Park, also referred to as "The Lumber Yard," is a stadium in La Crosse, Wisconsin. It is primarily used for baseball, and is the home field of the La Crosse Loggers baseball team. The current stadium was built in 2003, although a substantially smaller baseball diamond existed at the site prior to the construction of the new ballpark. At the time of its construction, the stadium held approximately 2,000 people^[1]; however, the success of the Loggers prompted expansions to the grandstand, bringing the capacity to its current 3,550 people.^[2] The field dimensions are 325 ft. to left field, 365 ft. to center, and 315 ft. to right.
