A 70-acre complex with ten softball fields, a ten-stall batting cage and a pro shop, the Mid-America Sports Complex has been designed to accommodate both players and fans. It's the only spot in the metro with AstroTurf fields, which shortens rain delays and gives ground balls that extra bounce. It's polished but not pretentious: Players in the dugout can still dip and drink without hassle. And whereas spectators at middling ball fields wind up drinking lukewarm brew from coolers in the bleachers or the parking lot, Mid-America has embraced the sports fan's lust for libation with Dingers, a two-story, patio-style bar that sits in the center of the complex and connects to four main fields, making it home base for fans and players to chill and foster community spirit.
