The Fightin’ Cranes will play at Ryder Park, one of Grand Island’s most historic and heavily used athletic facilities.
In the fall of 2025, the Grand Island City Council approved a $5.1 million community investment to modernize the stadium and expand its use.
Plans include converting the field to full artificial turf, allowing it to function as a regulation baseball field or two softball fields. The renovation also includes new dugouts, lighting, restrooms, a concession stand accessible to playground visitors, an umpire area and an additional scoreboard for multi-game use.
The Fightin’ Cranes are contributing $250,000 to the facility improvements.
