Construction, at the site off Vineyard Avenue and Riverside Drive in Ontario, started in October and steel support beams have gone in — giving rise to the stadium structure.
“It will be the largest sports complex of its kind west of the Rocky Mountains,” the city’s website says.
Along with the minor league baseball stadium, the complex will also be home to other sports fields, including soccer, football and softball. Additionally, tennis, pickleball and basketball courts will also be part of the complex.
