Wheeler Field is a planned 5,000-seat baseball park in Virginia Beach, Virginia. It will host the Virginia Beach Neptunes of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball starting in the 2016 season. Wheeler Capital, a limited liability company that specializes in venture capital financing and small business loans throughout the Mid-Atlantic states, purchased the naming rights for the stadium for an undisclosed amount through 2025.[1]
History
Virginia Beach Professional Baseball first proposed a ballpark plan in June 2014 near the Virginia Beach Sportsplex. The proposal also includes a 60,000 square feet (5,600 m2) building designed for Sentara sports medicine and team offices. 13 recreational athletic fields will surround Wheeler Field.[2]
