Joe Becker Stadium

Parkwood Tournament Company is a proud host to a stadium with a minor league history. The Joplin Miners, an affiliate of the New York Yankees, were the original tenants of the Joe Becker Stadium. In addition to this rich history, many collegiate and high school teams have utilized the complex over the years. 

Our Services

In the summer of 2014, we completed a $4.7 million dollar reconstruction in partnership with Hanson Sports, Corner Greer Architects, and Crossland Construction. New lighting, stadium seating, suites for players, onsite restrooms, locker rooms, and team dugouts were a result of the renovation along with merchandise sales space, and modern ticket booths.

SprintTurf is a new addition to the infield playing surface as well.
