Fifth Third Ballpark suffered a major fire on Friday.

The Whitecaps management immediately made our organization aware of their situation today at Fifth Third Ballpark, and will provide further details as they develop. We certainly hope for the best for all parties involved.

The support which has poured in from so many since Friday has shown what this team, park, and organization means to West Michigan.
Wishing the Whitecaps the best as they rebuild and looking forward to baseball this spring!
