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.
Numerous concessions points of sale will be added throughout the main
concourse, with the goal of reducing wait times. The “crown jewel” of
the renovations will be the 5,000 square foot Triangle Club, an upscale
space that will provide a whole new level of exclusivity for premium ticket
holders and groups looking to host special events at the DBAP.
CUTLINE:
