Opening
Sandlot Social
Sandlot Social is targeting a June 8th grand opening in Lenexa, and sign-ups for suite bookings in July and adult baseball leagues are now open.
Indoor Dingers: Sandlot Social will be a “next-level indoor entertainment venue where the spirit of baseball meets the energy of backyard fun.” They will offer cutting-edge baseball simulators, classic lawn games like cornhole and giant Jenga, and more. Think golf simulators, but for baseball.

Leagues launch with an any-gender option on Mondays and a coed league on Tuesdays, with both recreational and competitive formats available.
