Pfitzner Stadium – the home of the Potomac Nationals baseball team – is getting a facelift.
The stadium, which opened in 1984, is owned by Prince William County. According to Potomac Nationals General Manager Josh Olerud, the county has leased the stadium to the team for more than 20 years.
The county board of supervisors has agreed to pay $230,000 for the stadium’s improvements, stated Olerud.
The focus of the project is to expand the Potomac Nationals’ clubhouse.
“We are expanding the visiting team’s clubhouse. [It] hasn’t been touched since stadium has been built, [it’s] probably the smallest clubhouse in all of Minor League Baseball,” stated Olerud.
According to Olerud, the stadium is currently out of compliance in some areas, as assessed by Minor League Baseball.
“The stadium gets surveyed by Minor League Baseball every other year to assess every stadium. Although we are grandfathered into many areas, we fall under compliance in several others,” stated Olerud.
The improvements to the stadium are currently taking place, and will be finished by mid-September, stated Olerud.
The Potomac Nationals organization announced in 2012 it would build a new stadium at Stonebridge at Potomac Town Center behind Wegmans. Ground has yet to be broken on this project.
