Overview
- Team-released specs show the corners pulled in nine feet to 347 feet in left and 344 in right, the power alleys moved to 379 feet, center field unchanged at 410, and most wall heights reduced to 8.5 feet.
- Construction has begun with completion targeted before the March 30 home opener against the Twins.
- The analytics project, led by Dr. Daniel Mack with senior analyst Alan Kohler, modeled run value per fly ball with wind, temperature, and altitude, and the club projects roughly 1.5 additional home wins per year.
- About 150 seats will be added in left field and roughly 80 drink-rail spots in right as the new walls bring fans closer to the action.
- Leadership says the goal is a fairer, more neutral park rather than a hitter-friendly bandbox, noting past fence changes from 1995–2003 that were restored in 2004.
