In addition to Seattle U. home games, Bannerwood Park also hosts numerous high school baseball games, including the KingCo Conference 3A tournament.
Seating
There are three sets of bleachers at the park; behind home plate is the largest, seating 200 people. On the sides by the dugouts are smaller bleachers that seat fifty each.
The official seating capacity of Bannerwood Park is 300, but there is abundant room to stand and watch or sit in your own folding chair down the foul lines into the outfield.
