Fielder's Stadium Schedule

Did You Know?

Eventually, when the city of Zion proved unable to secure funding for the purchase of the property, the city announced in April 2010 that the stadium site was moved several blocks south to a new location at the corner of Illinois State 173 and Green Bay Road.

The Fielders would eventually move back to Zion on July 2, playing at a field that was not much more than a field and bleachers.

The stadium was also expected to feature five luxury suites and a year-round restaurant and banquet hall.

For the 2010 season, Zion and the Fielders hope to build a temporary facility that will resemble a "county fair" setting while construction continues during the season.

Temporary bleachers and party decks will be erected around the field.The state of the art ballpark was to have a capacity of 7,000 spectators, and promised box seats, pub style seats, and general lawn seating.

The ballpark was to be located on the corner of 9th Street and Green Bay Road in the Trumpet Park business park in Zion.Before the property for the stadium had been secured, an official groundbreaking ceremony was held on November 5, 2009, at a warehouse adjacent to the ballpark's future site.
