History
Crestwood, IL; August 13, 2007 --- The Windy City ThunderBolts
and Standard Bank and Trust Co. announced that Hawk Ford Field
will now be known as Standard Bank Stadium. Built in 1999, the
former Hawk Ford Field was home to the Cook County Cheetahs
until 2004 when the team came under new ownership and became
the Windy City ThunderBolts.
Crestwood is home to the professional minor league baseball
team. The Windy City ThunderBolts are an independent team competing
in the Frontier League. The stadium holds up to 3,200 people
and features one of the few upper decks in a minor league ballpark.
The stadium also features a fan deck on the first base line,
a kid’s zone, catered picnic areas, skybox suites, concession
stands and a beer garden.
On September 4th, 2007 the re-naming ceremony took place before
the start of the first play off game against the Rockford RiverHawks.
Tim Gallagher Chairman of the Board threw out the first pitch
to a nail biter of a game. The T-Bolts tied the game in the
bottom of the 9th and the winning run was walked in during the
10th. |
