Last evening the ribbon was cut on the new Diamond Club and Day Air Ball Park. This beautiful 5,000 feet plus venue is available for bookings 365 days a year. One unique feature is that the windows facing the field can be opened up to allow the outside in.
25 years ago half the population of Dayton thought that baseball would be a non-starter. But look at where we are today and the Dragons are a true treasure to the City and the region.
