PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – The Hillsboro Hops released new renderings of their upcoming stadium that is set to open in time for the team’s 2026 season.

Since breaking ground

on the new $120 million stadium in late 2024, crews completed the stadium’s steel structure and have begun working on the enclosure and interior walls. The construction is expected to wrap up by December 2025.

President and General Manager K.L. Wombacher said the stadium will set a new standard for minor league baseball.

“This ballpark will be a regional centerpiece, where fans can enjoy the best experience in minor league baseball,” Wombacher said. “For players, it’s a major league-quality facility that will be the best in baseball. For the region, it’s a year-round destination that will drive premier events and economic growth for decades to come.”

The Hops have played at the Hillsboro Ballpark, formerly Ron Tonkin Field, since their inaugural season in 2013. The current stadium doesn’t meet MiLB’s new facility standards.

Once completed, the stadium will be able to hold 6,000 for baseball games and 7,000 for other events such as concerts and community gatherings. It will be a 229,000-square-foot facility and will include a kids’ play zone and beer garden.

It will also feature a 32-foot cantilevered canopy for protection from rain and sun.

“The Hillsboro Hops’ new ballpark is a premier venue — not just for baseball, but for the entire region’s sports and event landscape,” said Jim Etzel, the CEO of Sport Oregon. “It’s the kind of bold investment in infrastructure and experience that strengthens Oregon’s economy and reputation as a premier destination for sports and entertainment.”

The Hops have already begun encouraging fans to secure spots in the new ballpark ahead of its opening. Those interested can submit waitlist deposits for the 2026 season.
