Fans Field (Decatur)
Coordinates: 39°51′41″N 88°56′09″W / 39.861518°N 88.935893°W Fans Field was in Decatur, IL, and was home of the Decatur Commodores, of the Three-I League originally, and later of the Midwest League. It was at East Garfield and North Woodford Streets. It was one of the last of the wooden ballparks, a true throwback to its origin in the early 1920s. After the end of minor league ball in the city, those wooden stands were removed and the site was remade into a softball venue, retaining the name Fans Field. The old fence still stands past the new fence. Captain Crunch and his Whacky Rag Time Band now play three shows daily in what was once Fans Field.
