Stadium renovation and The Outfield project underway

Posted
The new $13.5 million Cooley Law School Stadium will have a new high definition scoreboard off left field, apartments beyond the outfield fence and a 360-degree concourse.

And you’ll still be able to peer through the fence to watch the game if you’re strolling by.

“We’d prefer you buy a ticket,” said Randy Hannan, City of Lansing chief of staff and director of communications. “The fence will be retained and people will be able to see the action strolling by.”

Design renderings for The Outfield, an $11 million Gillespie Group residential project, were released last week, giving the first look at the concept for the 80 new apartments overlooking the ballpark. The project is receiving up to $2.46 million in financing by the Michigan Strategic Fund through the MEDC Community Revitalization Program (CRP).

Work on the stadium renovations are well underway with construction along the baseball field outfield walls along Cedar Street.

“Combined with The Outfield, our ballpark will set a new standard for professional minor league baseball facilities across the country,” said Tom Dickson, Lansing Lugnuts owner. The Gillespie Group also built the new Marketplace apartments adjacent to the Lansing City Market, the new Midtown mixed-use development on Michigan Avenue across from Red Cedar Park, the Stadium District across from the ballpark, and the renovation of the historic Marshall Street Armory on the city’s East side.
