Team History[edit]
Originally known as the Wichita Pilots in 1987 and 1988, the Wichita Wranglers began play in the Texas League in 1989. Following the 2007 season, the franchise relocated to Springdale, Arkansas, where they became known as the Northwest Arkansas Naturals.
Like previous Wichita professional teams, the Wranglers played at Lawrence-Dumont Stadium, built in 1934 and long thought to be both too historic to replace and the reason Wichita twice lost affiliated ball. Ultimately, though, it was - by a new stadium that now hosts the Wichita Wind Surge.
