Take in an exciting collegiate baseball game in the city of Whiting. College players from the Midwest and beyond comprise the Northwest Indiana Oilmen baseball team part of the Northern League. Home games are played at the beautiful Oil City Stadium at Standard Diamonds Park, which is the premier minor league stadium in the Midwest.
Their opening game will be held at Bulldog Park in Crown Point Against the Crown Point CornDogs.
Entering their 12th season of aiding ballplayers in their baseball development while providing affordable family entertainment, the Oilmen will look to continue their tradition of on-field excellence. IN 2022 they enjoyed 10 consecutive winning seasons, made 10 straight postseason appearances, reached the league championship series on seven occasions and own three league titles.
Standard Diamonds Park was a part of the first phase of the City of Whiting’s $50 million Lake Front Development Project. It was Designed by American Structurepoint Inc. and Context, LLC, and built by Powers & Sons Construction Company, Inc.
The stadium combines a unique history, with a progressive way of thinking, to create the premiere amateur stadium in the Midwest. The name Oil City Stadium celebrates Whiting’s history as a refinery town tucked away in the Northwest corner of Indiana for over 120 years. The BP Refinery, located just beyond they outfield fence is a constant reminder of the blue collar attitude Whiting was built on.
Oil City Stadium at Standard Diamonds Park is called home to Whiting High School, the Calumet College of St. Joseph Men’s Baseball Program, and your three-time Midwest Collegiate League champion Northwest Indiana Oilmen.
This year, the Oilmen will compete in a 55-game regular season slate leading into the Northern League playoffs. The Stadium is located at 1700 – 119th Street, just blocks from the Whiliaha Beach on Lake Michigan.
