Project Engineering

• Field level is 23ft below street level which is also beneath the water table

• A system of sewer lines and draining pipes were of crucial importance to the design and current functionality of the stadium.

• Geotechnical Engineers were used to determine how much ground water needed to be removed to keep the construction site dry.

• A series of deep wells and drains keeps the water at bay.• Also, a deep foundation system (comprised of steel H pipes) was

required due to the upper layers of sediment being comprised of mainly sand and clay.

More Project Engineering

• Concrete shear walls and piers were used beneath the lower levels of the buildings and the seating bowl to provide lateral resistance to wind, seismic forces, and earth pressure.

• The seating bowl itself is one of the most distinctive features. The concept features a series of straight seating sections, each angled toward home plate all around the field.

• The resulting geometry maximizes views of the infield

from each of the 43,500 seats.
