The current Midwest League franchise has utilized Modern Woodmen Park since 1960.

Excellent!

We are extremely happy that our daughter and son in law decided on Modern Woodman Park venue for their wedding and reception. Such a wonderful experience from the planning, to the day of the wedding to the day after follow-up. Taylor and her staff were professional and extremely helpful. She assisted in working with the vendors and was pleasantly present from set up to tear down.
Taylor’s presence and attention to detail allowed all of us to enjoy this very special day, at a great venue.
Highest recommendations to Modern Woodman Park and Taylor for any upcoming event that you may be planning.
