KATY, TX - June 23, 2025 - Home Run Dugout is pleased to announce the debut of its immersive Batting Bay Experience™ at Chasing Aces, the new 27‑acre sports and entertainment destination in Bossier City, Louisiana. Opened to the public on Monday, June 16, following a ribbon-cutting ceremony by the Bossier Chamber of Commerce, this marks the first Home Run Dugout Batting Bays installed in the region.
Chasing Aces offers an innovative combination of radar-tracked driving bays, a nine-hole Par‑3 course, an 18-hole putting zone, a full-service sports bar, and event spaces, all built to be informal, inclusive, and vibrant. Now enhanced with these new Batting Bays, the venue expands its lineup to include helmet-free, pitcher-free batting experiences enhanced with real bats and tracked by a
dvanced ball-tracking technology .
We'd like to congratulate the leadership team at Chasing Aces, including CEO John Dudley and COO Mike Mitton, on their successful grand opening of this $25 million complex next to the Margaritaville Resort Casino. Their vision to create an “all‑ages, all‑abilities” gathering spot is clearly realized in this entertainment hub built to welcome both seasoned athletes and newcomers to sports.
As described on Chasing Aces' website: “Golf should feel welcoming, exciting, and accessible—no dress codes, no pretension, just pure fun”. We believe the Batting Bay Experience perfectly aligns with this vision designed for fun, social engagement, and accessibility, with no helmets, no fastballs, and a design catered to a social environment. Guests can now enjoy one-of-a-kind baseball gameplay in the two HRD batting bays while also engaging with all new innovative golf competitions and enjoying food and beverage that's sure to hit the spot all day long!
Chasing Aces is open daily, driving bays and batting bays from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. (extended to 1 a.m. on weekends), with golf courses and putting zones opening as early as 8 a.m., combining sport, food, music, and social entertainment on a grand scale.
