Carl M. Kuss Field press box on trailer and ready for Friday delivery

May 27 2021 – West Bend, WI – An update on the Friday delivery of the new press box for the grandstand at Carl M. Kuss Memorial Field in West Bend.
Below is correspondence from Craig Larsen from West Bend Baseball Association.
Just got an email from JWI confirming they are a go for Friday, May 28 at 11 a.m.  I will let you know if that changes but sounds like they did what they needed to do to be able to put the press box in.
Attached are the pictures JWI just sent me of the press box on the truck ready to go.

The press box will be arriving Friday morning from Green Bay.

J.W. Industries of Green Bay has designed press boxes at football fields and high school stadiums across Wisconsin.

“We’re really looking forward to this and the press box will really make this start looking like a baseball field again,” said Craig Larsen, president of the West Bend Baseball Association. “This will be the first completed and hopefully it will be around as long as the previous one was.”

Washington County Insider will be livestreaming on Facebook the arrival and placement of the press box. Watch for comments from officials of Horicon Bank and the WBBA as well as former players.

The West Bend Baseball Association is still raising money for the project. “This is a $2.1 million project and we still need to raise about $300,000,” said Willie Mueller. “We’re really thankful to the people who have donated so far but we need a bit more so we can finish it off and hit it outta the park.” (sorry – not sorry. baseball analogy intentional)
