The Western Nebraska Pioneers summer collegiate baseball team has just wrapped up our sixth successful season in summer collegiate baseball. The team has led our league in attendance each season and created a tremendous community asset in our region. But we strive for more.
Playing at 1,200-seat (3,500-capacity), three-year-old Oregon Trail Park Stadium, the Pioneers provide affordable family fun all summer long in a minor league baseball setting. Music, food, beer, contests, giveaways and more - the Pioneers put on a show every night.
