After playing at a variety of home sites in 1991, the Panthers played at Simmons Field in Kenosha in 1992 and 1993.[3] They then began playing home games at Henry Aaron Field at Lincoln Park in Glendale for the 1994 season.[3] The 2019 Panthers schedule showed home games played at Henry Aaron Field; at Kapco Park on the campus of Concordia University Wisconsin; and one game at Miller Park.[4]

In February 2018, the Panthers reached an agreement to move their home games to Franklin Field in Franklin, Wisconsin.[5] Their first game in Franklin was scheduled for March 20, 2020, but before that date all remaining games were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6][7] They wouldn't host a game a Franklin Field until March 26, 2021, a 6–3 win over Purdue Fort Wayne.[8]
