Our student-athletes\u2019 and fans\u2019 experience will be\nelevated with this unique opportunity to compete at a minor league park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not the first time the Pioneers have taken the field at\nWhitaker Bank Ballpark. Over the last few seasons, the team has hosted several\nseries with visiting teams, as well as participated in multi-game conference\nseries outings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have\nenjoyed our partnership with Transylvania University and the Transy baseball\nteam for many years,\u201d said Lexington Legends President and Chief Executive\nOfficer Andy Shea. \u201cThis new, expanded partnership is something we have coveted\nfor years and are now thrilled it has come to fruition. Our values to the\ncommunity and the baseball industry, coupled with the close geographic\nproximity make this partnership a no-brainer\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs we go\ninto our 20th season at Whitaker Bank Ballpark, we take tremendous pride in our\nfacilities and property, both of which we are excited to share with\nTransylvania as we move forward,\u201d Shea added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The proximity\nof Whitaker Bank Ballpark to Transylvania reduces travel time for Pioneer\nstudent-athletes to and from games and practices. At the ballpark, below-ground\ndugouts, professional-league standard batting cages, and locker room access are\nall new amenities for Transylvania\u2019s student-athletes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The move to one\nof Lexington\u2019s enduring sports landmarks will give the Pioneers access to one\nof the premier ballparks among their Division III peers. It will also offer new\nways to enhance the Transylvania baseball fan experience. Expanded stadium\nseating will give fans an up-close look at the Pioneers, while 26 luxury suites\nare also available for use, offering another elite experience for Transylvania\nfans and friends. In-stadium restrooms, concession stands, and a press box with\nview of home plate toward the upper level of the stadium are all new features\nfor the Pioneer baseball program.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Information on season and individual game tickets will be available in early 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>For more on Transylvania baseball, follow @TransyBaseball on
