Ewing Cole

Following a stadium assessment report in 2009, EwingCole was asked to develop various concepts for a major renovation to the AAA Scranton-Wilkes Barre Yankees’ 10,500 seat multi-purpose stadium, which opened in 1989. The original multi-purpose stadium design, with a steep upper deck, lacks the intimacy, charm and fan amenities found in newer minor league ballparks. The proposed $40 million renovation completely reinvents the ballpark. It entails demolishing everything but the lower seating bowl, playing field and the home clubhouse, which was rebuilt in 2005. In the new renovation scheme, all non-premium seating will be confined to the lower bowl, Only suite and club seating will be located above the main concourse. General admission patrons will have a variety of new seating options from which to choose, such as tiered picnic areas and lawn seating. The concessions, restrooms, operations and administrative facilities will all be new. The stadium renovation is currently awaiting funding sources.
