Delano Municipal Stadium at Central Park is one of the oldest ballparks in Minnesota, where fans come out and cheer on the A's every summer, win or lose. Located on the north side, Municipal Stadium has been a fixture of the community for over 100 years.

Delano has hosted three Minnesota State Amateur Baseball Tournaments, in 1975, 1984, and 1997. In 1975, Delano set a state tournament attendance record (13,170) until it was broken in 1981, when the dual-site state tournament was adopted.

In 1948, with the founding of the Delano Athletic Club, Municipal Stadium became one of the first ballparks in Minnesota to have lights. In 1996 a new grandstand was built, replacing the old grandstand that endured 3 floods over a seventy-five year period. The modern grandstand seats approximately 750 spectators, while facilitating a press box and concession stand.

One of the most unique features of Municipal Stadium is its ivy-covered fences. Planted in the early 1980s the ivy has become a memorable storyline for visitors. Municipal Stadium is a gem worth seeing.
