History of Silver Cross Field<br />
Since it first opened in 2002, Silver Cross Field has been a key<br />
component of <strong>Joliet</strong>’s downtown. With a total capacity of over 6,000,<br />
this state of the art stadium provides fans and sponsors with the<br />
most bang for their buck in independent baseball. Silver Cross Field<br />
is an intimate facility where fans can sit back and relax. Among other<br />
amenities, Silver Cross Field boasts 14 luxury suites, space for private<br />
parties, a LED video board, the Miller Lite Party Deck, the <strong>Joliet</strong> Area<br />
Sports Hall of Fame, three sizeable picnic areas and a fun playground<br />
for children. When the <strong>Slammers</strong> aren’t playing, Silver Cross Field is<br />
available for concerts and other events. The facility is also home to<br />
the University of St. Francis baseball team, the IHSA Class 1A, 2A,<br />
3A and 4A State Baseball Tournaments, the prestigious WJOL High<br />
School Baseball Tournament and the Miracle League of <strong>Joliet</strong>. Over the<br />
years, Silver Cross Field has been the site of two nationally televised<br />
commercials, with the latest featuring former Chicago Cubs Manager,<br />
Lou Piniella. The stadium celebrated its 10th anniversary last season<br />
and was once named the #2 ballpark in independent professional<br />
baseball by Baseball America. Ballplayers come and go, but Silver<br />
Cross Field is, and will continue to be, <strong>Joliet</strong>’s superstar.<br />
