How (the new) Rocky and Berenice Miller Park came to be

Northwestern's baseball facility used to be a joke; now, it's one of the Big Ten's nicer parks.

EVANSTON -- In the midst of the multimillion dollar lakeside facility being built on Lake Michigan and the recently announced renovations to Welsh-Ryan Arena, there's another major addition to Northwestern athletics that hasn't gotten nearly as much buzz as the other aspects of the master athletics plan.

Bordered by Isabella Street and Ashland Avenue and straddling the Evanston-Winnetka border, Rocky and Berenice Miller Park looks like a regular college baseball stadium, one resembling many of those belonging to other Big Ten programs.
