39°51′41″N 88°56′09″W / 39.861518°N 88.935893°W Fans Field was a minor league baseball park in Decatur, IL. It was the home of the Decatur Commodores, of the Three-I League, Mississippi-Ohio Valley League and Midwest League, from 1927 through 1974. It was at the southeast corner of East Garfield Avenue (left field) and North Woodford Street (third base).
During late 1974 and early 1975, the city debated what to do with the abandoned ballpark. The decision to redevelop it came in August of 1975, and by month's end its mostly-wooden stands had been demolished.[Decatur Daily Review, August 22, 1975, p.22]
The site was remade into a softball venue, retaining the name Fans Field. The new softball facility opened in June of 1977.[Decatur Herald and Review, May 30, 1977, p.3]
