2024 La Crosse Loggers Baseball There ’ s No Place Like Copeland

“ Copeland Park is definitely a highlight in the Northwoods League .” ~ Ballpark Digest , Nov . 2008 Home of the Loggers

Copeland Park is located in the heart of La Crosse ’ s northside on Hwy 53 along the picturesque Black River . The location and intimate setting , coupled with consistent sell out crowds , provide one of the Northwoods League ’ s best atmospheres on a nightly basis . A giant wood baseball stamped with the Loggers logo captures fans ’ attention as they enter the ballpark . This , along wth a pine tree backdrop surrounding the park , sets the stage for a true “ Northwoods ” experience . The logsided press box , two log cabin suites , and the two wooden decks beyond the right field wall make “ The Lumberyard ” an appropriate nickname for the ballpark . In fact , Copeland Park was a lumberyard in the late 1800 ’ s as workers would ship logs down the adjacent Black River making their living as “ Loggers ”. An experience at “ The Lumberyard ” would not be complete without endulging in the renowned “ Logger Dog ”, a homemade foot-long hot dog from the concession stand !
Chair-back seating is available for nearly 2,000 fans and with each passing year , the Logger organization continues to add to the long list of available group packages . Group ticket options include two private cabin suites , an open-air suite , two party decks in right field , and a two-tiered private deck in left field . In 2014 , upgrades to the ballpark included a new turf infield and large video board in left-center field . In 2018 , the Loggers renovated the restroom area and made additions to the Dugout Clubs located down each baseline .
