The Cruisers began play in an unfinished ballpark. In March 2010, work on a concourse, 1,250 permanent seats and 1,750 lawn seating was completed along with the picnic area and beer garden.
Once the first season is over, construction on the permanent ballpark would resume – including locker rooms, luxury suites, media center, ticket office and an old-fashioned ticket booth.
Diamond Heroes announced in October 2007 they planned to construct a 3,944-seat ballpark behind the Summit Place mall in Waterford.
The original plan was to use debt-financing to construct the ballpark. The global economic crisis and a new plan was needed and that included selling shares of the ballpark to the public.
Shares were priced at $10 each and sold in blocs of 100, with a maximum of 500,000 shares for sale. The private owners will continue to own the controlling number of shares and will be responsible for team operations. (Baseball, Facilities, Financial, IndyLeagueVenueReport, Professional Sports)
