Come next spring, baseball fans may be able to visit their favorite Major League venue without ever leaving Batesville. Construction is currently under way at Batesville North Complex for seven new baseball fields that are scaled-down replicas of seven major league baseball parks. According to Gary Hibner of Stonebridge Construction in Jonesboro, the new fields will be replicas of Chase Field in Phoenix; Wrigley Field in Chicago; Yankee Stadium in New York; Busch Stadium in St. Louis; Comercia Park in Detroit; Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas; and Fenway Park in Boston. Although the new facilities won’t be available this season, construction at North Complex is progressing well, said Hibner. The new baseball complex will be located at the former Independence County Youth Athletic Association’s soccer fields, and a new soccer complex is under way approximately 1 mile south of that location on East Main Street near the Miller Creek area.
