Estimated to cost $42.5 million, the project will renovate the Hammond Stadium, which houses the Minor League Fort Myers Miracle in addition to the Minnesota Twins. It will increase its current seating capacity from 8,000 to 9,300.
In order to provide an enhanced experience to the fans, the Hammond Stadium field will be reconfigured according to the dimensions of the Twins home ballpark, Target Field, also designed by Populous.
In addition to that the project also includes upgraded concession services, restroom renovations, premium seating improvements, a new retail store, a 360 degree boardwalk area in the outfield, new group areas and press box renovations.
Keeping in view the convenience and comfort of the staff as well as players, the project will add new residential Twins, a new practice field, clubhouse renovations, a new parking area, and an agility field and training area.
The construction management team will be the Manhattan Twins Joint Venture, which is a partnership between Manhattan Construction Group, Chris-Tel Construction and Casey Construction. Construction on the project will begin in April 2014 and is expected to be completed in time for Spring Training 2015.
