Lawrence-Dumont Stadium is a stadium in Wichita, Kansas. It is primarily used for baseball, and is the home field of the Wichita Wingnuts independent baseball team. It was built in 1934 and last renovated in 2001. It holds 6,400 fans and is one of the few stadiums in the world that features a natural grass outfield with an astrosturf infield.
