Baseball on the dream field

Morningside University is utilizing the Sioux City Explorers Stadium during the fall. In the past, they have played on the South Sioux City field.

South Sioux City was great to play on, however it had bad dirt and it was difficult to experience the real thing we were going to get during season, said Aiden Bishop, first baseman for MSide.

The explores stadium is located right off the free way which is very convenient because the baseball team doesn’t have to cross the bridge into South Sioux.

I asked Wade Canaday, starting pitcher for MSide, how he felt about the stadium. “I’m blessed. not all college athletes get to play on such nice fields.”

This past year the Explorers put one hundred thousand dollars into the field. That included new speakers, new grass, new dirt, and better dugouts. These were huge upgrades for the field from what they had before.

Carter Ades, fifth year senior, has been through it all. Playing on all the fields possible in the conference and says that the Explorers stadium in his favorite. The reasons he likes it is because of the size and the feel you get from playing on it. When the stadium gets full of fans you feel electric and its like no other.

Morningside usually only plays on the field for their season, but this year they got to play on it for the fall. This is a huge opportunity for Morningside to get ahead of their competition on their home field for the future.
