Grand Slam Sports and Entertainment, parent company of the Lake County Fielders, has filed a lawsuit claiming Zion city officials and a developer misled the team so it would return to this temporary stadium in 2011. Fielders staffer Daniel Zea was getting the crowd fired up in July.

Zion's former economic development director says the Lake County Fielders could have received a city-owned ballpark if the team had paid its bills. J. Delaine Rogers said, in response to a lawsuit from the Fielders' parent company, “If Richard Ehrenreich had paid his vendors, employees and rent in Schaumburg, the Flyers would still have a stadium to call home.”
