It is the home field of the Northern Kentucky Norse baseball team, a member of the NCAA Division I Horizon League.
The complex is named for Bill Aker, who was the head coach of Northern Kentucky baseball from 1971 to 2000.
[2][3] From 2006 to 2008, the Norse played home games at what was then named Champion Window Field in nearby Florence.
The facility underwent $500,000 renovations in spring 2013, immediately prior to Northern Kentucky's first season in Division I.
[2] Prior to the 2017 home opener the outfield, warning track and bullpens were also resurfaced with artificial turf, making the entire playing surface synthetic.
