As the largest entertainment venue in Southern Arizona, the complex is equipped to host tournaments, concerts, fundraisers, training sessions and more. Being split into three main subsections allows the facilities to cater to far more than just baseball, which was its primary purpose when opening in 1997. The North Complex is composed of playgrounds, an event center, softball fields, and a basketball court while the South Complex includes accommodations for rugby, football, soccer, lacrosse, and field hockey.
