The Duluth Huskies are a member of the Northwoods League of Summer Collegiate Baseball. They have been operating in Duluth, Minnesota since 2003. The Huskies play their home games at historic Wade Stadium in Duluth, which was built in 1941. The team plays 68 games throughout the summer, 34 at home and 34 on the road. The Huskies fan experience is highlighted by the large inflatable bouncer built in the likeness of Huskies Mascot, Harley D. Huskie that fans young and old can enjoy down the right field line. Also, the Huskies Kennel Klub Sports Deck located down the left field line allows fans a fantastic view of the game, plus All You Can Eat and Drink while on the deck! It is also intimate with the Visitor's Bullpen area, which allows ample opportunity for heckling opposing players.
