A tour utilizing COVID-19 protocols of social distancing and mask wearing followed the ceremony and included the new Press Box and remodeled Track Storage Shed. The new Sullivan Field House includes locker rooms for home and away teams, concessions, ticket booths, a spirit store, public restrooms, a training room and 1,000 square-feet of storage.
