Norrie Amateur Sports Club, Inc.
Established in 1932, the Norrie Club has been a favorite stop in Norrie Location in Ironwood for years. It's located near the Hiawatha statue and adjacent to Randa Field. Open daily from 4 PM to Closing.
The Norrie Amateur Sports Club began during the depths of the Great Depression in 1932 when a neighborhood baseball team started soliciting area businesses for donations toward uniforms. A business owner named Lundin said he would donate five dollars (a lot of money in 1932) if they were chartered as a club.
The club organized on November 1st, 1932 with 15 members present. The first club house was a chicken coop that they cleaned out and painted. During the first meeting, a motion was made to purchase 15 cents worth of kerosene for the lamps so they could see in the club house at night.
With the club started, dances were held at the Ironwood Memorial Building to raise more money. Then in 1933, members built a softball field. Three years later in 1936, members built a new club house out of field stone. That same year the club was incorporated.
In 1946, the field we now know as Randa Field was completed as a gift to the soldier members when they returned home from their service to our country. It was soon after Jake Randa's death in April 1955 that the softball field would be officially named Jake Randa Memorial Field as it is still known today. Randa Field still hosts softball leagues and tournaments yearly and will always honor the name of Jake Randa.
