Ancient Waconah Park was built in 1892, and renovated in 1949 & 1976. The park has often suffered from flooding of the Housatonic River. In 1927, a dike was built in the outfield in a vain attempt to forestall future flooding. Wahconah Park was laid out so that the sun sets over the LF fence, endangering batters. The configuration has never been changed, and games are often delayed when the sun sets in the batters' eyes. The catcher faces west. The first professional game was 1913, and the first night game was 1946. Cost of renovations were $114,000 in 1950 and $700,000 in 1976.
