The single largest project involved in the Hays Field renovation was the construction of the City Bank Clubhouse, which sits down the left field line. Included in the City Bank Clubhouse are coach’s offices, a coach’s locker room, an athletic training room, an umpire locker room, laundry facilities, three hundred foot batting cages, and the team’s locker room. The batting cage area features a state-of-the art netting system, which allows for a variety of hitting options. Though the Chaps use both the long and short cages quite frequently, on days when weather prevents practice on the field, the cages can be arranged so that the players can get live at-bats with the pitchers throwing from the indoor mounds or even take ground balls. The Chaps’ locker room contains a lounge area where the team is free to hang out and enjoy the card tables, couches, and television.

The 8,000 square foot facility, which now houses the entire Lubbock Christian University Chaparral Baseball Program, was made possible by a generous donation from City Bank, a financial institution based in Lubbock that has been a long-time supporter of LCU and West Texas athletics.
