ONT Field Named 2026 Ballpark of the Year for Aviation-Themed Fan Experience

Ontario, Calif. – September 07, 2026 -- ONT Field, home of the Ontario Tower Buzzers, the Single-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers, has been named the 2026 BaseballParks.com Ballpark of the Year, an honor recognizing it as one of the top fan experiences in Minor League Baseball.

The ballpark leans fully into its airport-adjacent identity.

Designed by global design firm Populous in partnership with the City of Ontario, Diamond Baseball Holdings and the Tower Buzzers, ONT Field features a center field food hall modeled after a baggage-claim carousel and a left field concourse built as an interactive runway. A vintage airplane and the runway lighting activate whenever the Tower Buzzers hit a home run.
