SPORTS BALLIN’ OUT TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME By Lawrence “King Law” Davis After the Bulls captured their fourth Governors’ Cup title in 2013, they began a $19 million transformation of the Durham Bulls Athletic Park (DBAP). The renovations were in preparation for the 2014 MiLB All-Star Game coming to Durham July 16-18, 2014. The DBAP now has an all new playing surface, improved field lights, new seats, additional group picnic areas, and upgraded video displays and sound system. With a focus on improving the stadium’s concessions experience, a new 10,000 square foot landing area along the 1st base line will feature themed food and beverage kiosks that will allow fans an uninterrupted view of the game.
