HistoryEdit

It was built in 1994 and has a capacity of over 8,000 people with 6,066 permanent seats. The original $8 million construction estimate in 1992, however, ballooned to more than $22 million by the time of its completion.

Other usesEdit

The company that currently manages the site is Storm Entertainment, a newly developed entity of Storm Baseball. When baseball is not in season, the field is used for a number of other purposes including concerts, boxing matches, and local high school graduations, all of which can utilize temporary seating to increase the capacity to 14,000. This stadium also has a yearly event for Halloween, the "Field of Screams".

The field was also used as a location for the fan made film "left 4 dead - the movie".

Diamond ClubEdit

The Diamond Club is the name of the enclosed restaurant and patio in the left field corner. The restaurant has a full menu and is open to the public during all home games. They also host events for any party you might have. Anything from A Quinceanera to A Wedding to A Birthday Party they hold up to 300 guest and have several full menus for you choosing.
