Renovations
In 1991, the facility underwent major renovations. The most notable was the addition of an AstroTurf infield and new drainage systems; these allowed for better field conditions following inclement weather. Also, field dimensions were altered, and the dugouts were improved. The field features a 24 foot high fence in right field. Seating capacity was expanded as well.
In 2010, the AstroTurf infield was replaced with Sport Turf.
