Santa Ana Star Field received a major upgrade that started before the 2013 season. It received a FieldTurf playing surface, upgraded scoreboard, dugouts, bullpens, and bleachers as a part of the first phase of the Santa Ana Star Field renovation. Further renovations and phases will enhance the concessions areas, the fan plaza between Santa Ana Star Field and the softball field, the press box and the bleachers. Lights were installed in the fall of 2013.
“We have lights because of (former Lobo) Dee Dennis and a bunch of guys who chipped in to help me and Dee do this,” Birmingham said. “This is Lobo Field. This is (the state of) New Mexico’s baseball field, at least that’s how I feel about it. … There will not only be Lobo games on here, but there will also be state championship games here. We hope to bring in some great big tournaments over the years to this city and let our kids experience the world. We think New Mexico kids can get the rest of the experiences that the rest of the country has, then they will grow faster and realize they’re as good as anybody.”
For more information or to get involved with the renovations at Santa Ana Star Field, contact Ed Manzanares with the Lobo Club at 505-925-5607.
