O'Donnell was a former local sports editor, and was the park's namesake for over 40 years. Concession stands at Modern Woodmen Park are named for the five cities that make up the Quad Cities area. Moline, East Moline and Rock Island, Illinois; and Davenport and Bettendorf, Iowa. A Ferris Wheel sits atop the left field berm, providing a unique view for fans in the grandstand, and a unique view of the game and the river for fans in the wheel. The Mississippi River runs just several feet beyond the outfield wall, and the river has flooded the playing field several times throughout the years. The scoreboard and outfield wall. The fence is shorter in front of the berm in left than in center and right fields. |
