2024 SEASON MARKS 23RD CONSECUTIVE SEASON OF HAYMARKET PARK BEING HONORED

LINCOLN, NE – Haymarket Park has been voted as the American Association’s “Playing Surface of the Year” for the 23rd time, the league has announced.

“We’re honored and very appreciative to receive the “Playing Surface of the Year” award as it is very rewarding to know that members of our league recognize Haymarket Park as the best playing surface in the American Association and one of the premier fields in all of baseball,” stated Saltdogs President Charlie Meyer. “I would like to thank and congratulate Kyle Trewhitt and his staff for their hard work and dedication to assuring the playing surface is in pristine condition year-round.”

The ‘Dogs have now won the award in all 23 years the organization has played since 2001, and every year since joining the American Association in 2006.

“My staff and I are honored and grateful that our hard work this year is being celebrated with this award,” said Trewhitt. “This was only possible with the leadership in place from NEBCO, Charlie Meyer, Shane Tritz and the best Grounds Crew in the country. Our season could not have been as successful without the dedication and efforts from Joseph Boutain, Avery Wischropp, Brenden Gerlach, Garret Appleget, Peyton Hutzel, Trey Mieth, Kohl Tyser, and many others.”
