After being destroyed in an arson fire two years ago, Tink Larson Field in Waseca, Minnesota re-opened Saturday.
The $2 million rebuild was completed this summer thanks to donations from the Twins organization and various community members.
“It’s just a testimony to what we do when we’re faced with tragedy as a community,” said Waseca Mayor Roy Srp. Dating back to 1939, the field is home to an amateur team and several high school teams.While the field’s longtime caretaker and namesake, Tink Larson, is recovering from injuries sustained in a recent car crash, he made it out to the grand re-opening Saturday to give one of the new features its first test.
