Some bullet points about the project:

 

  • The infield will be made up of a synthetic turf with plans to install turf in the outfield as funds become available.
  • Updates will be completed in phases with the infield and new 500 person grandstand constructed first.
  • The West Bend Baseball Association worked to raise $1.5 million for the project after funding with the Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation went sideways. The group has about $350,000 left to raise.
