Field during game play 2012

In 2012, we cut the outer rim of the infield to make it more circular and clean a bunch of weeds out as well.

In the Fall of 2012, the visitor dugout was torn down and replaced. Mr. Birkey's Construction class built the new dugouts from start to finish.

In the Spring of 2013, the visitor dugout was painted. The Emmetsburg Baseball letters and the "Muscle Bird" Logo were hung that spring as well.

New designs were also cut into the grass by 1st and 3rd base. This is the before picture.

We also started mowing a pattern into the outfield this year.

Before the season, we widened the circular areas around the mound and home plate areas.

In the Fall of 2014, the right handed batters box and catchers area were dug up and replaced with clay bricks.

We improved the grass/dirt areas in front of the home and visitor dugouts this fall as well.

We also started on our bullpen project in the Fall of 2015. The visitor bullpen is located outside the fence behind the football track concession stand. The home bullpen is located inside the fence down the left field line.

Starting in the Fall of 2015 and completing in the spring of 2016, we seeded in the side warning track down the left and right field lines. This will save on time on the maintenance of the old warning track and improve the overall appearance of the field

Finished - Coming soon!

In the fall of 2016 our pitchers mound was renovated. A new pitching rubber was installed plus Flex-Clay was added to make the appropriate height.

This was with renovations around 80% complete.
