The Frontier League team opened its new ballpark in 2001 after several years of delays in arranging financing.
The ballpark features picnic tables seating four that lease for $36. Suites lease for $280 per game.
Open-air Chevy suites cost $120 to $240 for groups of 12 and 24 people. The ballpark has two hot tubs leasing for $165 each for 15 fans. (BaseballMinor, Facilities, Financial, Professional Sports)
