Home of Augsburg Auggies since 1984; before that the team played at various spots like former Parade Stadium west of downtown Minneapolis.

The field was originally named Anderson-Nelson Field, named for former Augsburg basketball coach and athletic director Ernie Anderson '37 and for former Augsburg football and baseball coach Edor Nelson '38. In 2001, the field was renamed Edor Nelson Field, after the college renamed the Si Melby Hall basketball court in Anderson's honor.

Edor Nelson died in 2014, 9 days after celebrating his 100th birthday

This field has a big bubble over it in winter.
