The Ontario Tower Buzzers, the new single-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers, in partnership with the City of Ontario, Populous, and Tilden-Coil Constructors, officially celebrated the grand opening of ONT Field with a ceremonial ribbon-cutting that marked a transformative moment for the Inland Empire.

ONT Field, designed to reflect both innovation and the local identity, serves as both a premier sports venue and a year-round community destination. Key features include:

Contemporary seating and enhanced sightlines
Premium hospitality and group event spaces
Family-friendly amenities
MLB-aligned player development facilities
Multi-use capabilities for events beyond baseball

"The venue is more than a ballpark; it is a community gathering place that will drive economic activity, tourism, and civic pride for years to come."

“ONT Field represents a $125 million investment expected to generate hundreds of jobs and drive increased visitation to Ontario’s growing sports and entertainment options,” said Paul S. Leon, Mayor of the City of Ontario. “The venue is more than a ballpark; it is a community gathering place that will drive economic activity, tourism, and civic pride for years to come.”

Located near Ontario International Airport, the ballpark strengthens the city’s position as a regional destination while providing accessible, affordable entertainment for local families.
