2020 Tink Larson Field of the Year

Waconia Lions Field Wins 2021 National High School Baseball Coaches Association Field of the Year

 

Press Release from the Waconia Baseball Association - Waconia, Minnesota Dec. 2021

 

Lions Field in Waconia, Minnesota is the winner of the 2021 NHSBCA National Field of the Year.  This honor is given to the field, chosen by the National High School Baseball Coaches Association, that best exemplifies outstanding quality in field, player, and fan experience.  The award was announced on December 3rd at the 2021 NHSBCA National Convention in Scottsdale, AZ.  Lions Field, representing Region 5, beat out elite fields, from California, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Utah, Ohio, Maryland, and Rhode Island to win the prestigious award.

The all-natural surface at Waconia Lions Field won the Minnesota Baseball Coaches Association Tink Larson Award in 2020 and moved on to be named Region 5 Field of the Year.  Lions Field is home to over 100 games per year supporting high school and amateur baseball teams from April to September.  Vice Presidents of Facilities and Grounds, Mike Schultz and Leroy Hendricks, accepted the award on behalf of the dozens of volunteers that made this honor happen.  “We are extremely humbled and honored that Lions Field is considered to be one of the best fields in the nation,” said Schultz.  “It’s truly a testament of the community of Waconia coming together to make this happen.  This award isn’t about a few people.  It’s about all of us (Waconia) coming together as one.”

Since its inception in 2017, Waconia Lions Field has hosted major events, ranging from local, regional, and national level tournaments.  The award is sponsored by Turface Athletics a leader in the sports field industry.  “To think that Turface and SiteOne would consider our field at the top, for baseball fields, makes you appreciate all the hard work our people do to make it happen.  We want to continue to offer an elite experience for teams and fans that come to Lions Field.  We hope to continue to improve our facility and offer opportunities that make everyone in the nation want to come back to Waconia,” Hendricks added. 

Waconia now joins an elite field of baseball stadiums recognized as National Field of the Year.  This is the first for a Minnesota field since the awards began in 1992.  Other fields in Minnesota that have been honored as Regional Field of the Year are St. Cloud (1993), Jordan (1995), Chaska (1997), Brainerd (1998), Delano (2014), Forest Lake (2016), and Waconia (2021).  For more information about the NHSBCA go to www.baseballcoaches.org and for Waconia Baseball Association go to www.waconiabaseball.com.
