Waterloo Riverfront Stadium

The Panthers have played all their home baseball games at Waterloo Riverfront Stadium since 1993. A 10-minute drive from the UNI campus, Riverfront was built in 1948 for the Class A Chicago White Sox affiliate, the Waterloo White Hawks. The facility has also housed affiliates of the Cincinnati Reds, Boston Red Sox, Cleveland Indians, and San Diego Padres.

Seating capacity is 4,277, with distances to the double-decked outfield fence measuring 335 down the left- and right-field lines, 360 in the power alleys, and 380 to center field.

Recent improvements include a new lighting system, major renovations to the field and press box and remodeling of the grandstands and clubhouses.

The press box provides ample seating for newspapers and radio stations, in addition to a deck to accommodate television.

The facility also serves as the home to the Waterloo Bucks, a summer college-age team, and member of the Northwoods League. The Bucks were 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002 South Division Champions and have featured current and past Panther players such as Scott Schirmer, Ben Fjelland, Luke Sabers, Scott Brickman, Ryan Jacobs, David Parra, Todd Rima, Kevin Sawatzky, Nic Ungs, Ryan Brunner, Josh Habel and Gabe Wycoff.
