Peoria Chiefs at O’Brien Field
Posted on 16. Apr, 2009 by Corey in Dayton Dragons Baseball, General Baseball.
Just finished a three game series in Peoria, Illinois against the Peoria Chiefs, minor league affiliate for the Chicago Cubs. The Chiefs play all their home games at O’Brien Field, and I wanted to share some pictures of the place with you.

– The Chiefs have a few similarities to Wrigley Field in Chicago.

– The past few seasons, the Chiefs were managed by Chicago Cub Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg. Sandberg has moved on to coach the Double A team, but his suite still exists at the stadium.

- A large number of former Peoria Chiefs players have played in the Big Leagues. The Chiefs honor their history with pictures of the players around the concourse near the concession stands.

– The Bradley Braves, a local Division 1 University in Peoria also share O’Brien Field to use as their home field.
What a great day to play ball! Go Dragons!
wHAT did you eat there at the park? I heard that you loved food and maybe you can rank the best food at all the yards you visit.
I do like my food, but did not buy anything at the stadium in Peoria. The weather was cold and nothing really stood out to me as looking great.
