Populous Partners with College Baseball Foundation to Design College Baseball Hall of Fame

The partnership teams the College Baseball Hall of Fame with one of the most renowned global design firms to construct a dynamic showcase of college baseball within a community they both call home. In addition, the Kansas City metro area is also the location for the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. The addition of the College Baseball Hall of Fame will further embed the deeply rooted connection between Kansas City and America’s favorite pastime.

College Baseball Hall of Fame will be located within the iconic Museum at Prairiefire. Following an extensive search to find the permanent home for the College Baseball Hall of Fame, Overland Park and the Museum at Prairiefire emerged as ideal partners for the College Baseball Foundation through its purposeful vision and united support from the community. Visit Overland Park estimates that the College Baseball Hall of Fame will have a multi-million dollar impact on the local economy when its doors open in 2025.

Brian Mirakian, Senior Principal, states:

This moment in time is incredible for the College Baseball Hall of Fame — one that celebrates the amazing legacy of great players, coaches, philanthropists and personalities who’ve helped define the game. For Populous to be part of this storyline is an immense honor for our team.

Jason Michael Ford, Principal, comments:

The sport of baseball holds a special place in the history of Populous, so we’re honored to work with the College Baseball Foundation to design a space and experience that reflects baseball’s finest. This new hall of fame will preserve the legacy of the collegiate game and create a place that not only reflects its traditions but tells the stories of all those enshrined.
