Riverfront Stadium (Waterloo)

Riverfront Stadium is a stadium in Waterloo, Iowa. It is primarily used for baseball, and is the home field of the Waterloo Bucks baseball team of the Northwoods League. It holds 5,000 people.

Riverfront Stadium was built as Municipal Stadium in 1946. It was previously home to teams in the Illinois–Indiana–Iowa League (1946–1956) and the Midwest League (1958–1993) before the Bucks began playing there in 1995. The Midwest League team, most recently known as the Diamonds, left Waterloo before the 1994 season after the city of Waterloo failed to improve the stadium to meet Major League Baseball's newly imposed standards for minor league ballparks. (The Diamonds are now the Lansing Lugnuts.)

The University of Northern Iowa played home baseball games at the stadium until the team became defunct following the 2009 season. The last game played by UNI at the stadium was on May 16, 2009, a 3-2 win against Bradley University.
