The New Newman Park
Renovation Campaign Goals
The Campaign for Newman Park will fund a restoration which entails both field and stadium improvements that will enhance the overall game day experience for players and spectators. From amenities to accessibility, stadium improvements create a positive spectator experience that will bring fans back and build a strong case to continue supporting the organization. Field improvements that provide dedicated training and playing spaces and amenities foster player growth and provide the tools for a successful team. The Campaign for Newman Park seeks to raise a total of $12,000,000.
