The Athletics, along with Regensburg Legionäre, is one of the largest clubs in the Baseball-Bundesliga Süd in terms of membership, claiming to have hundreds of active players.

The club has played in the Baseball-Bundesliga for more than two decades, winning the German Championship in the 2007 and 2016 season.

The field is located between the neighborhoods of Mombach and Gonsenheim, an area that was previously the grounds of an American military installation.

The field also hosted the 1999 Junior European Championship and in the inaugural 2002 Softball All Star Game.

In 2011 the club played their first game in a new ballpark along the Hartmühlenweg, about 500 meters east of the former facility.
