Xenia's The Athletes in Action certainly have a home-field advantage on their newly created ballpark. The three-million dollar project also includes two new softball fields and two soccer fields all thanks to various private donations.
The longtime vision to create the facility started six years ago, with the completion drawing to a close in the next half a year. The team has already started playing on the brand new all-turf field, but the completion will bring stands holding more than a 650-person seating capacity.
General Manager for the team, John Mclaughlin, has nothing but optimism for the new ballpark, stating that it is a positive baseball enviornment which will have nothing but positive feedback-- not only the team-- but for for the league as well. Before, the Athletes in Action played their home games at Wilmington College. And while they are thankful for the college's services, they are glad to have a field of their own minus the thirty minute car ride.
Manager Mclaughlin is confident the new stadium will boost attendence and serve as a great facility that all teams in the league can enjoy and get the chance to play ball on.

I didn't have the chance to make the trip to Wilmington College but I can't wait to make this trip with the Terriers. Thanks for all your hard work to get this up and running. See you on Saturday.
