The MLB's Los Angeles Dodgers broke ground Monday on a 190-acre athletic complex in Ontario, Calif., which will feature a professional baseball stadium that will serve as the home of the new Dodgers Class-A franchise.
The Quakes, the Dodgers' Single-A Minor League team, currently plays at LoanMart Field at 8408 Rochester Ave. in Rancho Cucamonga.
In 2025, the team’s contract with Rancho Cucamonga will expire, and the team will move to the new 8,000-seat baseball stadium at the Ontario Sports Empire in 2026.
Meanwhile, Ontario Professional Baseball LLC. President Brent Miles and his team announced that they are inviting the community to help name the newest addition to Ontario’s sports scene.
Those interested can send the organization their ideas for a team name online at ontarioprofessionalbaseball.com. Nominations will be open through Friday, Nov. 8. [Victorville Local Press]
