Geschichte des Freudenauer Baseball-Komplexes

Der Ballpark Freudenau liegt prominent am südöstlichen Ende des Wiener Praters nahe der Hauptallee und dem Lusthaus.

Die allererste Saison wurde 1989 auf ehemaligen Fußballfeldern ausgetragen. Im Jahr 1994 bauten Mitglieder der AIBC und des WBSV das erste Baseballfeld. Ein zweites Feld wurde 1996 gebaut. Das Clubhaus wurde 2003 mit Unterstützung der Stadt Wien und substanziellem Sponsoring durch private Firmen gebaut. Im Jahr 2004 wurden professionelle Baseball-Flutlichter hinzugefügt. Auch zu dieser Zeit wurde das Baseball-Infield renoviert. Backstops wurden 2008 erneuert und 2009 wurde ein Scoreboard installiert.

Das Feld wird von der Stadt Wien an die AIBC vermietet. Alle Gelder werden von der AIBC über Mitgliedsbeiträge, Kurse, Imbissstand und Gebühren von anderen Teams zur Verfügung gestellt. Auch Gelder von privaten Unternehmen sind wichtig für die AIBC, um die Wartung und Verbesserung des Feldes und des Clubhauses zu finanzieren.

Verwendung

Mit dem separaten Softballfeld kann das Feld für Baseball-, Softball- und Jugendspiele aller Altersgruppen genutzt werden. Der Ballpark wird von mehreren Mannschaften in Wien genutzt, denn Freudenau ist einer von nur zwei Ballparks in Wien. Während der Baseballsaison (April-September) wird das Feld fast zu 100% am Wochenende und an Wochentagen am Abend genutzt.

History of the Freudenau Baseball Complex

The Ballpark Freudenau is prominently located in the south-east end of the Wiener Prater near the Hauptallee (main avenue) and the Lusthaus.

The very first season was played in 1989 on former scoccer fields. In 1994, members of the AIBC and the WBSV constructed the first baseball diamond. A second diamond was constructed in 1996. The clubhouse was build in 2003 with support from the City of Vienna and substantial sponsoring by private companies. In 2004 professional baseball flood lights were added. Also at that time the baseball infield was renovated. Backstops have been renewed in 2008 and a scoreboard was installed in 2009.

The field is leased by the City of Vienna to the AIBC. All funds are provided by the AIBC through membership fees, courses, concession stand and fees by other teams. Also funds by private companies are important for the AIBC to finance maintenance and improval of the field and clubhouse.

Usage

With the separate softball field, the field can be used for baseball, softball and youth games of all ages. The ballpark is used by several teams in Vienna, as Freudenau is one of only two ballparks in Vienna. During baseball season (April-September) the field is used almost to 100% on weekends and on weekdays in the evening.
