PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- The Hillsboro Hops are getting ready to say goodbye to their home stadium Sunday afternoon, playing their final game before moving to a new ballpark next season.
The Hops have played at the Hillsboro Ballpark, formerly Ron Tonkin Field, since their inaugural season in 2013. But the current stadium doesn’t meet MiLB’s new facility standards.
Once completed, the stadium will be able to hold 6,000 for baseball games and 7,000 for other events such as concerts and community gatherings. It will be a 229,000-square-foot facility and will include a kids’ play zone and beer garden.
It will also feature a 32-foot cantilevered canopy for protection from rain and sun. • Mortenson, SRG and Populous make up the design team behind the Hillsboro Hops' soon-to-be baseball sta
