Fire has destroyed the grandstands at a treasured baseball field in Waseca.
The blaze broke out at Tink Larson Field about 8 p.m. Wednesday. Investigators will look for a cause of the fire.
Waseca Superintendent Tom Lee tells KSTP-TV the sports venue is important to the community because all levels of baseball are played there, including high school. Lee says some of the seats were from the old Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington.
The field is named for Tink Larson, a legendary figure in Minnesota high school baseball.
