The Navs are excited to feature promotions and theme nights in conjunction with local businesses throughout the 2024 season. Further details will be announced in the coming months. The popular Field of Dreams Baseball Clinic will return in 2024, with a pair of three-day clinics running from June 24-26 (Monday-Wednesday) and July 10-12 (Wednesday-Friday).
