Renovation:

A $2.5 million dollar renovation project was completed in 2019 to Veterans Memorial Ballpark and BNC National Bank Field.  The project included the installation of artificial turf to the entire playing surface and bullpens.  

Seating Capacity:

1101

Main Grandstand 213,  Club Level  388, Standing Room Only 500

Unique Features:

The 26 foot "chain link monster" is located in left field. The scoreboard in right field is in play and if a ball is hit in the 2 foot space between the scoreboard and the foul pole, the hit is a home run.

The ballpark also includes a pitch speed indicator for the fans enjoyment.

Press Box:

The "best seat in the house" is located on the third base side of home plate. The newly renovated press box is equiped with wireless internet, heat and air conditioning, and printing capabilities.  During tournament season the press box is occupied by the public address announcer, scoreboard operator, statisticians, and media.

Media Area:

The press box is available for the media, but has limited space. If crowded, the radio has first priority as they need equipment connections. Memorial Ballpark does have wireless internet accessibility.

Coaches Office:

Coaches' Office is located under the 1st base wing seating area.  It is furnished with air conditioning and is adjacent, but seperate from the players' lockerroom.

Locker Rooms:

Both the Chiefs and A's enjoy their own lockerroom facilities.  Both enjoy the comfort of airconditioning.  The A's lookerroom is located under the 1st baseline club seating.  The Chiefs' lockerroom is located under the 3rd baseline club seating.  

Umpire Changing Room:

This comfortable space for umpires working games at the ballpark includes: air conditioning, hooks for equipment/uniforms, chairs, refrigerator, sink, and toilet facilities. The umpires' room is located under the 1st baseline club seating.

Meeting Room:

Available for meetings, tournament headquarters, or any other uses as needed.

Dugouts:

Each dugout has ample space for baseball teams. The hooks along the back help organize equipment. The helmet and bat compartments on the home plate side of each dugout should be used to avoid unsafe conditions for players around the dugout.  Rubber flooring has been installed to provide secure footing for all.  Electoral outlets are available in each dugout. Water jugs/cups or bottled water will be provided by Mandan. The railings in front of the dugouts are designed to help protect, but all team members are asked to pay attention at all times, as foul balls hit toward the dugout can be dangerous.

Batting Cages:

Two batting cages are located 'out of play' down the right field line. For the safety of all players and coaches, management asks everyone in the batting cages should wear a helmet. Coaches are asked to require their players to wear turf or tennis shoes while hitting in the cages. The turf mats will not wear out as quickly if turf or tennis shoes are used rather than cleats.

Bullpens:

The two bullpens are located out of play down the respective foul line. Each bullpen has artificial turf.

Concessions:

The Dakota Community Bank concession stand is sponsored by the Mandan Baseball  Club and is located near the front entrance of the ballpark. A wide variety of items will be sold. All proceeds will be used to support Mandan Baseball.

Restrooms:

Located just across from the concession stand near the front entrance of the ballpark.

Ticket Window:

Located next to the restrooms near the front entrance of the ballpark. During tournaments this is sometimes referred to as 'gate A'.

Players Entrance:

Located behind the first base dugout. This gate is not designed to allow fans in the ballpark. During tournaments, this is sometimes referred to as 'gate B'.

Parking:

Buses are asked to park west of the concession stand, on the grass beyond the outfield fence of the little league diamonds. Cars and any other vehicles are able to park on the small parking lot on the west side of the concession area and also in the large parking lot on the east side of the concession area and south of the ballpark. Fans are asked to remember that foul balls are more likely to land in the parking lot south of the ballpark.
