Stars Park has a rich history in the landscape of baseball in St. Louis and we are proud to keep that history alive. I would like to thank the St. Louis Cardinals, Clayco, and everyone involved for their commitment to making this project happen!"

Harris-Stowe State University and the St. Louis Cardinals broke ground on Stars Park on July 14th, 2020. The state-of-the-art NAIA level baseball and softball field renovation is the result of a seven-figure investment by Cardinals Care and six-figure investment by Harris-Stowe that includes fully irrigated fields, seating for 200 at the baseball field and 100 at the softball field, enclosed press boxes, enclosed NAIA level dugouts, and new scoreboards.
