Ribbon cutting opens Aaron Pointer Field

The recent ribbon-cutting ceremony on January 15, 2025, celebrated the opening of Aaron Pointer Field at the Peck Athletic Complex, a significant addition for Stadium High School students. This facility, named after Major League baseball legend and retired Parks Tacoma commissioner Aaron Pointer, will serve as the school's new home baseball field. The event was attended by Pointer alongside his family, coaches, and community members, showcasing the local support for youth sports development. Pointer shared his surprise and appreciation for the honor, reflecting on his enduring legacy in the Pacific Northwest sports scene. The field prominently features the Stadium High School Tigers emblem, designed in the school's colors of gold and royal blue, symbolizing pride and unity among students.

This initiative stems from a collaborative effort between Parks Tacoma and Tacoma Public Schools, reinforcing the importance of investing in athletic facilities for youth. Such developments not only enhance local sports but also foster community engagement and support for student-athletes. The establishment of Aaron Pointer Field is a testament to the region's commitment to nurturing the next generation of athletes.
