If you build it, they will come.

The "Field of Dreams" philosophy is being put in motion in Windsor, as plans for a $225 million, 65-field sports park were unveiled at a press conference Tuesday morning.

The Rocky Mountain Sports Park (RMSP) will be privately funded and has a goal of boosting baseball and softball in Northern Colorado.

The 413-acre site at the intersection of Colorado Highway 257 and Weld County Road 74 (Harmony Road in Fort Collins) will feature five high school/college-size baseball fields, 10 youth fields, 16 tournament baseball and 16 tournament softball fields, four T-ball fields and 12 multi-use fields. The multi-use fields can be used for soccer, lacrosse and football. All fields will feature artificial turf.

The complex will also have a 10,000-seat feature stadium. Project directors hope the stadium could land the park a minor league baseball team.

Ryan Spilborghs, a former Colorado Rockies player and current ROOT Sports broadcaster, is a vice president for the RMSP project.

“I want every single person to have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience baseball and softball,” Spilborghs said. “I want to make sure that communities that are not able to experience something like this now get to.”

The site is 3 miles north of downtown Windsor. RMSP claims the facility will be the world’s largest sports park.

Organizers hope to host weeklong youth tournaments for baseball and softball teams at the site, with the prime season for tournaments running Memorial Day to Labor Day. It could also host other big events, such as Colorado high school state playoffs.

At capacity, the complex could host 2,688 to 3,264 weekly participants.

There are plans for an athlete’s campus with dorms where all visiting teams will stay. Retail shops, restaurants and hotels are in the long-term planning goals for the site.

The first phase of planned construction includes the “stadium district,” with developers aiming for a fall 2018 completion. The second phase of the park includes all of the other playing fields ready by spring 2019.

Stacy Johnson, Windsor's director of economic development, said the first phase of the project will bring 50 full-time jobs to Windsor with many more coming as the project is finished.

Land for the plan includes 207 acres available for retail space in addition to the acreage of the sports park. The ability to bring hotels, restaurants and retail shops is also attractive to Windsor, Johnson said. Developers project that the park could attract 100,000 annual visitors.

Those leading the project declined to say from where funding for the sports park would come. 

"After years of coaching and umpiring, I knew there was a huge need for a sports park to help grow the game of baseball," RMSP president Mike Billadeau said. "This park will do that and then some."
