Get ready, Dayton—Day Air Credit Union Ballpark is stepping up to the plate with a game-changer! On June 3, 2025, the Dayton Dragons unveiled the Dragons Diamond Club, a $6 million, state-of-the-art event center set to transform downtown’s entertainment scene. Blending urban never seen before upscale vibes, this sleek venue—complete with folding glass walls, killer field views, and a high-tech edge—celebrates over 25 years of Dragons baseball while hitting a home run for weddings, corporate events, and more. Opening with a soft launch in fall 2025, this is one debut you won’t want to miss!
What Sets It Apart
The Dragons Diamond Club isn’t just another event room—it’s a showstopper, bringing a diverse audience together,” says Robert Murphy, a key figure behind the project. Here’s what makes it special:
- High-tech sound system and 98-inch TVs for an immersive experience.
- Floor-to-ceiling folding glass windows with panoramic views that tie the indoors to the vibrant ballpark atmosphere.
- Indoor seating for 200, perfect for weddings, corporate gigs, or private bashes.
- 110 premium outdoor seats on the second level with killer sightlines of the field, a buffet, a full kitchen, and expanded restrooms.
This sleek setup is backed by a powerhouse partnership with the Cincinnati Bengals organization. Robert Murphy called it “astounding” and a “real team effort,” underscoring the collaboration that’s birthing this gem.
Fall Soft Launch on Deck
Though the announcement hit in June, the Dragons Diamond Club will ease into action this fall with a soft launch. This trial run lets the team fine-tune operations—think food, drinks, and security—before the full rollout. “The soft opening is very valuable to us,” Murphy noted, hinting at a flawless experience when it’s game-on, Batter up! Event planners, take note: holiday bookings will likely vanish fast.
Boosting Dayton Year-Round
Open 365 days a year, the $6 million, 5,000-square-foot venue is built to draw a diverse audience for the ultimate baseball-themed experience in a spacious, unforgettable way. With a folding glass system blurring indoor-outdoor lines, 98-inch TVs, and a top-notch sound system, it’s ready for anything—fraternity parties, upscale weddings, you name it.
The economic perks are just as big. The Dragons Diamond Club will create jobs and promotions for current staff, plus opportunities for locals—high schoolers, college students, and retirees—keeping the Water Street District buzzing. Murphy revealed a celebrity softball game featuring Bengals players and coaches is in the works, tying the Dragons’ NFL partners into the grand debut.

Nestled in downtown’s Water Street District, with a new batting cage below and skyline views above, this venue is set to rewrite Dayton’s sports playbook.
