ONTARIO TOWER BUZZERS
ONT Field
Architecture & History
ONT Field is the newest professional baseball stadium in America — a $100M facility opening in April 2026 as part of the 190-acre Ontario Sports Empire complex. Designed with aviation-themed neighborhoods throughout.
The stadium features themed zones replacing traditional concourse sections: The Patio (social bar), The Airfield (kids zone and food hall), The Tarmac (fan entry), Arrivals (main plaza), The Ground Stop (premium home plate), The Flight Deck (elevated club), and Legends Walk (team entry).
Every design element references Ontario International Airport (IATA: ONT) and the Top Gun "buzz the tower" phrase. The bee mascot (Maverick) wears an aviator jacket. The stadium name uses the airport's three-letter code.

Statues & Exterior
EXTERIOR FEATURES
Brand-New $100M Aviation Showpiece
Entire facility
ONT Field is the centerpiece of the Ontario Sports Empire, a 190-acre complex — the largest sports development in Southern California. Aviation-themed neighborhoods inside are unlike any other minor league ballpark.
Dodger Blue Flagship Affiliate
Team identity
As the Dodgers' newest Single-A affiliate, the Tower Buzzers' Opening Day was sold out. The team's identity was designed by a former in-house Dodgers designer, making the Dodger influence explicit and intentional.
Names & History
2026–present
ONT Field
Named after Ontario International Airport (IATA code: ONT). The airport naming rights deal was the first in North American professional baseball to use an airport code as the stadium name.

The Food
Dodger Dog (Inland Empire Style)
The Ground Stop — premium concourse area
The Tower Buzzers serve a Dodger Dog variant befitting their parent club — a 10-inch all-beef frank on a steamed bun, dressed with mustard, relish, and onions. The inaugural 2026 version includes a pepper-and-onion topping reflecting the Inland Empire's Mexican food influence.
Birria Tacos
The Airfield food hall
Birria tacos — braised beef or goat in a rich chile broth, served with consommé for dipping — are the dominant street food trend of Southern California's Inland Empire. ONT Field's food hall reflects the region's deep Mexican-American culinary identity.
Elote (Mexican Street Corn)
Concourse carts
Grilled corn on the cob smothered in mayonnaise, cotija cheese, chile powder, and lime — a Inland Empire staple vendor item. Available on and off the cob.
Control Tower Nachos
The Flight Deck — upper level
A tower-stacked nacho platter served in an aviation-themed tray. One of the new ballpark's signature novelty food presentations from its opening season.
Classic Dog
Throughout ballpark
Standard Dodger-style beef frank at the base of the menu.
The Beer
Immigrant Son Brewing Runway Hazy IPA
Immigrant Son Brewing · Pomona, CA
The aviation-themed IPA from a Pomona craft brewery that embraced the Tower Buzzers' identity. A juicy, low-bitterness hazy IPA available exclusively at ONT Field in 2026.
Golden Road Mango Cart
Golden Road Brewing · Los Angeles, CA
The quintessential Southern California poolside beer — a wheat ale brewed with mango that has become the unofficial craft lager of Los Angeles and the Inland Empire.
Ballast Point Sculpin IPA
Ballast Point Brewing · San Diego, CA
San Diego's most famous export — a grapefruit-forward West Coast IPA that defines Southern California craft.
Dodger Blue Lager
Anheuser-Busch collab
The special Dodgers-branded lager served at Dodger Stadium affiliates — a novelty pour for the inaugural season.
Sun & Weather Guide
New Inland Empire ballpark — full sun exposure
ONT Field is an open-air stadium with minimal shade on the lower concourse. The Inland Empire heat — regularly 95–105°F from June through September — makes shade-seeking essential.
Upper club level exposed to afternoon western sun
The Flight Deck elevated areas face west and receive full afternoon sun until approximately 6:30PM in summer.
Best ONT Field experience
Evening games starting at 6:35PM catch the Inland Empire sunset over the San Gabriel Mountains. The temperature drops 15–20°F within an hour of sunset.
April temperatures ideal
The Tower Buzzers' inaugural April games will have ideal weather — highs in the mid-70s with low humidity. The best possible weather for opening a new ballpark.
Insider Tips
The One Thing
Go in 2026. The inaugural season of a brand-new $100M ballpark happens exactly once. Opening Day sold out in minutes — buy single-game tickets early for any of the opening homestand series.
Best Seat in the House
The Flight Deck club level offers elevated sightlines across the aviation-themed neighborhoods. For a first visit, the Airfield lawn area (kids zone / food hall with field views) is the full ONT Field experience.
Getting There
ONT Field is just south of the 60 Freeway at Riverside Drive and Vineyard Avenue. Ample parking in the 1,000-space structure. Uber/Lyft from Ontario International Airport is a 5-minute ride.
Insider Tip
The Ground Stop — the premium behind-home-plate area with batting cage access — is worth the upgrade for a once-in-a-lifetime inaugural season visit.
