A team of design professionals and structural engineers were retained to renovate US Cellular Field in Chicago, Illinois. US Cellular Field is a major league baseball stadium and home of the Chicago White Sox. The structure is a three concourse (or tiered) structure that has seats for approximately 45,000 people including 84 luxury suites located on the middle club level. The stadium was originally built in 1991 for $120 million dollars. The purpose of the renovation was to bring a friendly retro style feeling to the ballpark using structurally exposed elements. The renovation was completed in 2005 at a cost of approximately $70 million dollars. The major points of the renovation included the following: 1. Relocation of both bullpens. 2. Addition of 600 club level seats. 3. Renovation of the batters eye section. 4. Integrate new brick and signage along the concourse areas. 5. Removal of a portion of the upper deck seating area, and addition of a canopy. BULL PEN RELOCATION
