Each field is made with synthetic turf to mimic what many professional and college teams use. It doesn’t stop at the turf. Each field at The Ripken Experience is modeled after a famous ballpark with signage that explains its historical significance. They also have bullpen mounds, batting cages, infield training and bunting practice areas for pregame warm-up.
