EVANSVILLE — One of the oldest baseball stadiums in the country will undergo a major change.
Bosse Field was approved to receive synthetic playing field turf by the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp. during its board meeting on Monday, July 6. Along with an update to the drainage system which flows into Garvin Lake, the cost of the project was set at $2,136,856 with RiverTown Construction being awarded the bid.

EVSC director of communication Jason Woebkenberg said work is scheduled to start following the Evansville Otters' season. That earliest possible date is October.
"This is going to create more opportunities for our high school athletes to play on that field," Woebkenberg said. "We're going to lose fewer games to rainouts when we have rainy springs. We're very fortunate in this community to have such a historic venue like Bosse Field. When you have a historic venue, you have to invest in it."
