THE FIRST CHAPTER
Something to call our own.
Summer nights under the lights. Kids chasing a foul ball. A whole town cheering for the same team. That’s the future we’re working toward with the Crystal Lake Crows.
Where we stand: The team is in development. League options, ballpark sites and funding are being evaluated. No league affiliation, stadium site or public funding is approved.
A HOME FOR THE FLOCK
Big-league feeling.
Hometown scale.
Close to the action. Room on the grass. Good food and a reason to stay for one more inning. We’re exploring a modern, approachable ballpark built around the way our community enjoys baseball.
1,500+fixed seats proposed
800+berm capacity proposed
4 seasonsof possibilities
Planning goals, subject to site selection, design, funding and approvals.
MORE THAN NINE INNINGS
Built around baseball.
Made for the community.
A Crows home game is only part of the picture. We want the ballpark to create opportunities for people across McHenry County.
More days together
Room for tournaments, concerts, festivals and community gatherings, with a calendar shaped alongside local organizations.
Local connections
Opportunities for businesses and community partners to help shape a place that feels distinctly Crystal Lake.
Community programs and partnerships are proposed and have not been finalized.
THE WORK DOESN’T STOP IN SEPTEMBER
Room to grow.
All year long.
Our vision includes a year-round Crows academy with indoor batting and pitching tunnels, camps, lessons and training opportunities for local players.
A simple, heated training building would give the next generation a place to keep working when the Illinois weather has other plans.
Follow academy plansCRYSTAL LAKE. THROUGH AND THROUGH.
Picture the first pitch.
Black. Red. Crystal Lake. Meet the marks behind a new hometown tradition.
