The Single-A Suns have sought a new ballpark for some time and Mandalay officials say they will continue to seek a new venue.
In 1999, Washington County Commissioners agreed to support construction of a new ballpark for the Single-A Hagerstown Suns, but backed away from approving money for the project. Instead, the commissioners voted in favor of an increase in the hotel/motel tax with the money to be used for the ballpark/museum project. The Maryland Legislature must vote to increase the tax and allocate the money to the county. The approval never came and the project died.
The city made $50,000 in upgrades to the venue in 2004. (BaseballMinor, Facilities, Financial, Professional Sports)
