Lenz Field & Sports Complex

Lenz Field & Sports Complex

Lenz Field & Sports Complex sits nicely in a corner pocket Northwest in Jacksonville, Illinois.  This complex was finished in 2009 and is probably the best sports complex in the Midwest.  The complex  started out from being a dream.   That dream of constructing baseball fields similar to The Ripken Experience in Myrtle Beach, S.C., the university of Illinois Baseball Field in Champaign, IL; and the Tampa Bay Rays Tropicana Field.  

Well, the dream can true with the construction of the first field here in Jacksonville, Illinois (which is now called Field #4).  Field #4 was constructed in 2007 with 100% turf and has not been rained out for over 3 years!  With a total of 5 complete fields, Lenz Field & Sports Complex held over 100 teams throughout the year in numerous tournaments. 

I began working at Lenz Field in August and am pretty stoked.  I never knew that I would get a job working within my field here in Illinois.  I thought I was going to settle for a managers position at some podunk retail store, but nonetheless, something else caught my interest.  My intended goal was to get a normal job and maybe go back to school to obtain my Masters degree.  That goal is still intact but the options are endless with the possibilities of what field I want to get it in.
