With 32 acres of land at the Hall of Fame we are able to construct several new aspects throughout our site.
We are currently fundraising for three new buildings; a dormitory, a museum and a stadium.
The dormitory will be able to sleep about 200 people for games, tournaments, clinic and camps. St. Marys currently has the beautiful Stone Willow Inn and the amazing Westover Inn, but both of these Inn's aren't large enough to host our needs. Two-thirds of the rooms will contain two bunk beds in each room while the remaining one-third will be appropriate rooms for coaches and adults. All rooms will be themed by the 30 MLB and 30 NHL teams and some the Canadian Baseball Greats such as Fergie Jenkins and Larry Walker.
Our new museum will be about 20,000 sq ft. Half of the new museum will contain interactive displays such as radar guns, batting tunnels and announcer booths. Along with the interactive displays and the Hall of Fame for our inductees we will also have a library with over 4000 baseball books for research. These books were donated by Morry Liebovitz. Also inside will be a theatre/lecture hall for about 200 people.
The stadium will wrap from first base to third base along the St. Marys Cement Company Field. We will install about 2000 seats from the old home of the Jays, Exhibition Stadium. Inside will be state of the art dugouts, change rooms, umpire rooms, equipment rooms, food booth and announcers booth. We are also going to build batting tunnels and pitching cages on both sides of the stadium so teams can train year-round.
All three of these buildings should be built in the next five years.
We are currently fundraising for these three phases of our evolution. If you would like to donate to any of these three projects please email SCOTT.
