Renovations

In June 2011, both venues underwent an $8.3 million renovation project[4] to replace the aging bleacher sections and press box on the east side of the stadium, along with the adjoining first base bleachers at Suplizio Field, with a new section that includes new seating for both venues as well as a new two-story press box and handicapped-accessible mezzanine level which was ready for use by May 2012.[5]
