Loras College Baseball Camps

Facilities & Directions

Graber Sports Center

The physical education and athletic facilities at Loras College are equal to those of any comparable college and superior to most other institutions.  They include the $3 million Graber Center dedicated in the spring of 1982, the lighted tennis courts constructed in the fall of 1981, the San Jose Pool and handball courts erected through the munificence of the Wahlert family in 1968, the Rock Bowl stadium built in 1940 and the legendary Loras Fieldhouse which dates to 1924.  In addition three intramural fields, the softball field and a quarter-mile track in the Rock Bowl.

Petrakis Park

Along the banks of the breathtaking Mississippi, Petrakis Park is home to the Loras College baseball team. A part of the McAleece Sports Complex and right across from the Mystique Community Ice Center built in 2010, Petrakis sees live action from the Duhawks primarily in the spring along with a few fall practices. Its name comes from John Petrakis, former "Mr. Baseball" in Dubuque, and opened its gates on May 4, 1986. The stadium bleacher capacity is "in the ballpark" of 200 patrons and close to 300 when including lawn space. The dimensions are 325 feet to left and right fields and 400 feet to center field.
