The current team was founded in 1987 as an independent member of the
Northwest League , and joined the
California Angels organization in 1990. In 2001 the Hawks moved their affiliation to the Cubs.
The Hawks play their home games at
Memorial Stadium in
Garden City, Idaho . The 4,500 seat facility, on the banks of the
Boise River , opened in 1989 for the Hawks' third season. The stadium was privately built by an investor group led by Bill Pereira and son Cord Pereira. For their first two seasons (1987-1988), the Hawks played their home games at Bill Wigle Field on the campus of
Borah High School .
The team is owned by Dan Walker, one of the co-founders Horizon Broadcast Group, along with other investors. Hawks games are heard on the radio on 1350 KTIK-AM.
