Eugene Civic Stadium was a true survivor. Several times, the city threatened to condemn the old wooden ballpark, but it managed to make it through the 2009 season hosting professional baseball.

At one time, it was used for football as well, but a new, more typical football stadium with an aluminum grandstand has taken over that utility. Meanwhile, this is one of the last old wooden parks still in use. Another similar structure still stands in Hoquiam, Wash.

The ballpark features a covered grandstand with room for over six thousand fans. In addition, box seats have been added below the main grandstand; however, on days when the rain threatens, the grandstand seats are ultimately preferable. The club has also added beer gardens down each base line. Concessions are outside the original stand; a separate fence has been erected to control admission. It is notable that the public address announcement cannot be heard in the outer concourse, the sound being contained by the original roofed facility.
