Ever since it hosted its first regular season baseball game in 2007, PeoplesBank Park in York, Pennsylvania, has been one of the best ballparks in baseball.
It will get another chance to shine from May 17-21 as the York County Convention & Visitors Bureau’s Sport York program and the York Revolution are bringing the 2018 NCAA Division III Baseball Mid-Atlantic Regional to PeoplesBank Park.
It will mark the third time the NCAA Division III postseason baseball will be held at the stadium — the first event was in 2015 and again in 2017. For the event, more than 600 participants, coaches, officials and spectators will stay in York County, generating more than $537,000 in economic benefits.
The teams to play include:
- Rowan
- Babson
- Arcadia
- Virginia Wesleyan
- Misericordia
- Union
- Catholic
- Castleton
