East Los Angeles College Interim President Robert Isomoto was joined by former President Ernest Moreno, past and present coaches and former players in a ribbon-cutting ceremony Saturday January 20 to mark the opening of ELAC’s modernized baseball field.

Improvements to the facility include new dugouts, a state-of-the-art training center, locker room; rehabilitation training room, coaches’ offices, announcer’s booth, snack bar, public restrooms and barrier fencing. The project was funded by the Los Angeles Community College District’s $2.2 billion Proposition A/AA Bond Program.
