The corner of 56th and Watkins (click here for a map) is the new hub for entertainment in Northwest Arkansas. The vision of Springdale City Administrators and the Springdale Chamber of Commerce has chosen this location as the perfect place to begin what is certainly the newest and hottest building in Springdale.

The City of Springdale has chosen Kansas City based architects HOK to design Arvest Ballpark for the new Minor League Baseball team. HOK has been designing baseball stadiums for twenty years, with its first stadium being Dunn Tire Park, in Buffalo NY. Also owned by Rich Baseball Operations, the Buffalo Bisons new baseball stadium in 1988 marked the beginning of the renaissance of Minor League Baseball as we know it. HOK also designed Camden Yards in Baltimore, Jacobs Field in Cleveland, and Coors Field in Denver, among many others.
