At last Sunday's home game against Rivier College, the Lions experienced some unexpected distractions on the field.
"There were some kids playing soccer in the outfield that interfered with the game a bit," said Anderson. "At one point one of them picked up the ball and threw it at the outfielder on the other team."
Crosley said that sometimes people do not always abide by the field's previously reserved time slots.
"The Park and Recreations Department told us to either bring one of our police officers or call the Boston City Police if people don't leave the field when a game starts," he said. "The Park and Recreations Department is going to try and deal with that in the future."
In previous years, Emerson has used Adam's Field in Quincy, MIT's baseball diamond and other stadiums in Danvers and South Boston for home games. Hanley, who has been the team's coach since 2005, said he doesn't believe Emerson will ever acquire a baseball stadium.
"Baseball fields are a huge expense and require about an acre of land," he said. "It would be great to have a field, but this is Boston and land is expensive."
Crosley said the park offered the best option for the Lions when they were considering possible places to call home.
"The field is perfect; it is accessible by T for the fans and players and is brand new," said Crosley. "It was our first choice for the season and is the perfect place to play."
