MICHAEL S. ROSENZWEIG President & Owner, Duluth Huskies Baseball Club

Dear Huskies Fans and Supporters,

On behalf of the management and staff we welcome you to historic Wade Stadium. This iconic ballpark was constructed during the Great Depression. A little history from Wikipedia: The U.S. federal government used the WPA to fund projects to boost employment. One of these projects was the removal of the brick roadbed from Grand Avenue, which was then paved with asphalt. During the fall of 1940, road crews removed 381,000 bricks from the surface of Grand Avenue. Another WPA crew used these bricks to build Wade Stadium. A construction budget totaling $163,232 was set. But, due to cost overruns, the final cost of the stadium was $230,880. During construction, the project received several bailouts. One bailout came from Duluth’s newly elected mayor, Edward H. Hatch, who purchased the materials needed to finish construction. There has been a great number of memorable baseball games played at the Wade. As a once host to minor league teams from the Tigers, White Sox, St. Louis Cardinals, and Reds, we have never lacked for talent and the excitement that baseball brings to summer in Duluth. Today you get to see the best of the collegiate baseball players who come from around the country to spend their summer playing for the Huskies and the other teams of the Northwoods League. They are a hardworking, nose to the grindstone bunch of players who hope they will be noticed by one of the many scouts that grace our ballpark on most nights. More than just baseball, the Wade experience encompasses Wade Plaza, in between game antics, contests, games and of course the Kennel Klub, our enhanced food and beverage outing, while you watch the game. Our concourse has a great selection of baseball fare and drinks to suit everyone’s taste. From fireworks to wrestling, there is always something going on at the Wade. It goes without saying that we are pleased to see you here to watch Duluth Huskies baseball in this family friendly environment. As you enjoy this game, please take note of our advertisers and sponsors. Show your support for them as they help make baseball available to us all. We are honored that you have chosen to be with the Duluth Huskies to watch the greatest game on turf. Have a wonderful time and please come back often to visit us.

Despite being a mere curiosity in that first summer, fans filled Wade Stadium for the home opener on June 7, 2003 and continued to come out and support that first hastily-assembled team as it struggled its way to a 24-39 finish— the lowest win total in franchise history. Despite the team’s lack of success, it featured nine players who would go on to play various levels of professional baseball, including Mikela Olsen who was the team’s first draft pick (Florida Marlins, 2003) and , who would become the Huskies’ first Major Leaguer four years later.

28 Exceptional education for everyday good.

It’s an ordinary world, but every day extraordinary acts take place here. Those brave enough to take action march on, like Saints do. Making sacrifices to make a difference. Imagine how those acts could impact your life’s work. Where they could take you.

That’s what you learn at The College of St. Scholastica. Exceptional education for everyday good.
