We did.  Facility is very nice. Fields are excellent.  Mounds on grass fields are turf.  Rest is not quite completed.  Lots of "barren" dirt.  Not enough trash cans in parking lot. Etc.

 

However, beware that they may not have a rain plan yet.  Not a big deal if you're on the turf fields.  But the others it is a problem.  The last day we played there, we had very moderate rain in the am.  Pretty much ended by 8:00 am.  We where first told 2 hours and then 1:00 pm to start.  When we got there at noon, nothing had been touched.  A few guys with rakes started to show up, but didn't do much at all.  It was a joke and pushed us way late on the last day.  No reason they could not have had the fields ready hours earlier (been there and done that).  I think it had to do with money - they wanted the fields to drain "naturally."  They need to go watch the guys a Cooperstown work and see how they do it. 

 

We would definitely go back.  It has the potential to be the First Class venue in the Midwest.  But they must be able to turn around quickly after a little rain.  If not, they will never make it.
