“We’re very proud of our ballpark and are thrilled to be voted as the best rookie-level ballpark in America,” said Pulaski Yankees General Manager Betsy Haugh. “Calfee Park is a special place, showcasing a perfect blend of historical features and modern amenities. We’re honored baseball fans across America value our ballpark the way we do and recognize what a great home Calfee Park is for the Pulaski Yankees and Minor League Baseball.”
Since the Shelor Automotive Group purchased the park from the Town of Pulaski in 2015, there have been numerous upgrades including a renovated home team clubhouse, a new visiting team clubhouse, concession stand, press-box, and souvenir store; two VIP Towers, upgraded seating, a bigger JumboTron and more.
Before the start of the 2019 season, a three-tiered party deck and new boxes were added along the third base line, increasing the ballpark’s capacity to 3,200.
