Brownsburg resident and former MLB pitcher Bill Sampen, owner of Samp’s Hack Shack, has purchased the shuttered Hoosier Athletic Center with plans to revive and expand the softball and baseball complex.
“We are excited to announce the acquisition of the property formerly known as the Hoosier Athletic Center in Brownsburg near I-74 and Ronald Reagan off US-136,” Samp’s Hack Shack said in a Facebook post Wednesday. “This location will serve as the current and future site of our indoor and outdoor facilities.”
The Hoosier Athletic Center features four fields, stadium lights, irrigation, concessions and a sports bar with a second story viewing deck. Sampen’s redeveloped version of the complex will have more fields and added amenities.
