Cairns Field features artificial lighting, an electronic scoreboard, an irrigated and groomed grass infield, drainage, an 8-foot outfield fence with wind screening, and dimensions of 335 feet down each line and 400 feet in center field. The supporting facilities at the field include stands seating 2,000 fans,[2] a clubhouse with four dressing rooms, concession, washrooms, showers, media press box with a public address system, an umpires' room, warm-up mounds, and a permanent batting cage.
The original ballpark back in 1914 held a capacity of 1,700 which drew a total of 6,422 spectators for the city's entry into the Western Canada League. The original Cairns Field was situated near the Canadian Pacific Railways station named after James Frederick Cairns, who became the president of the Saskatoon Baseball Club in 1921. The former grandstand used in the current Cairns Field had been constructed for harness racing in the Pion-Era. The park had renovations during the 1980s as well some others after the Berries moved in, in 2024.[3]
The ballpark hosted for the 2005 Canadian National Junior Championships.[4] It was home to the Saskatoon Yellow Jackets from 2002 until the team folded in 2014.[5] When Saskatoon was awarded an expansion WCBL team in 2023, the team's ownership renovated the facilities, including adding a new video board and expanding seating.[6] A sold-out crowd of 2,200 turned out for the first home game in Saskatoon Berries history on May 28, 2024.[7]
