The History

Built in 1940 as a public works project, Duncan Field is one of Nebraska's best-loved sports venues, known for it's deep outfield surrounded by a red brick wall.  It was the site of the American Legion's "Little World Series" three times, and Hall of Famer Yogi Berra played baseball here in his youth.  Originally known as Pershing Field, it was re-named Duncan Field in honor of Robert Duncan, an avid baseball fan from Hastings.  Today, it is home to Hastings College Bronco Baseball and American Legion Youth Baseball.  This landmark facility serves the community as a tourist site and hosts over 100 events each year.

The Renovation Project

This aging facility has not received any major renovation for over 40 years and is in dire need of plumbing and electrical updates.  The proposed renovation includes a roof and additional spectator seating, a new concession stand, restrooms, locker rooms for teams and officials, a new press box and an elevator to meet ADA requirements.

The Challenge

The Duncan Field Challenge invites the community to help raise $2.5 million necessary to restore and preserve this historic facility.  We need your help to ensure Duncan Field will be available for the dreams of future generations, just as it has in the past.

Questions and/or donations may be directed to the Duncan Field Committee at 402-461-2356.  Thank you for your generosity.
