History

On June 3, 2013, the Kalamazoo City Commission approved a contract with Kalamazoo Baseball, LLC to bring a team back to the city. Kalamazoo had been without a baseball team since the Kalamazoo Kings of the Frontier League disbanded in 2011. The contract stipulated that the Northwoods League would pay expenses associated with the team's home games, practice and the maintenance of Homer Stryker Field. On Nov. 15 of that year, the team was formally introduced as the Kalamazoo Growlers, a tribute to the city's brewing tradition and the black bears that can be heard "growling" in the forests of Michigan.

The Kalamazoo Growlers are a minor league baseball team based in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The team was founded in 2013 and plays in the Northwoods League, a collegiate summer baseball league. The Growlers play their home games at Homer Stryker Field, a 3,000-seat stadium located in downtown Kalamazoo.

The team's name and logo pay homage to the city's history as a major paper producer, with a growling bear holding a rolled-up newspaper as its emblem. The team's colors are navy blue, light blue, and white.
