Lancaster Bible College (LBC) is beginning construction on the expansion of its baseball field in order to align the field with NCAA distance standards.

Planned phases include the addition of a retaining wall behind the outfield fence, as well as land development; fencing; a windscreen; and netting along left field to provide safety for players, fans, and property.

The NCAA standard fence distance at centerfield is 400 feet, and LBC's current field is 320 feet. The outfield fence will be moved back to 375 feet at centerfield, which will bring the field in line with NCAA standards.

The work will be completed by D.H. Funk & Sons, and the project is fully funded through donations. The completion date is slated for Sunday, Feb. 1, in time for the Chargers' 2026 season.
