[2] Siebert Field, which featured natural grass and a capacity of 1,500, was constructed on a single large block near Dinkytown.

At the time, the ballpark was considered one of the most modern in collegiate athletics, with an electronic scoreboard, automatic irrigation, and a state-of-the-art press box.

[3] In addition to serving as the Golden Gophers' primary home venue, the old Siebert Field occasionally hosted other events and teams, including numerous Minnesota State High School League baseball tournament games.

In 1994–1995, Siebert Field was home to an independent professional team, the Minneapolis Loons, of the now-defunct North Central League.

As a result, the University of Minnesota men's baseball team, which had routinely played cold-weather games at the former Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome (an indoor venue), began favoring the downtown-located Metrodome over Siebert as their primary home stadium.

The diamond has an unorthodox southeastern alignment (home plate to center field); the recommended orientation is east-northeast.
