However, the new ballpark’s already raising concerns due to its proximity to I-90.

According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the stadium authority will be adding a 25 foot high netting to the areas where I-90 comes the closest to the ballpark – about 500 feet away, covering some foul ground along the RF wall, and an extreme RF home run.

The new park will have a 5,000 seat capacity, including 2,600 box seats and 11 private suites.  The Crushers are an independent Frontier League team, and will christen the new park with a 6 game homestand, starting with the Windy City Thunderbolts and Rockford Riverhawks as their 1st two opponents.
