Dodgers: Centerfield Plaza Taking Shape in Dodger Stadium Renovation
As part of your weekly update on the status of the renovations taking place at Dodger Stadium, it seems that some good progress has come over the last week.
YouTube user John Kay shared a new video with some aerial shots of the update.
Last week, the Dodgers provided a full update on the construction taking place. In the update, LA VP Janet Marie Smith shared information on how the renovation is on schedule, despite the visuals telling a different story.

However, in this latest video, you see much more of the centerfield plaza taking shape. The frame of the batter’s eye has been put up, and the outlines for some of the food pavilions (being built off site) have been laid. Additionally, the concrete has been poured for the new home run seat section at the front of the pavilion.

Latest Renderings
New renderings of the Dodger Stadium renovation were released on Thursday.
Excited for the sports bar idea under the old pavilion but wonder who will pay the premium rates to attend a game (ticket plus parking) only to watch in a bar under bleachers.

Opening day is just over one month away and construction crews are working around the clock at Chavez Ravine.
More from the Dodgers
The project will create a new “front door” to Dodger Stadium with two acres of food and entertainment offerings in the new Centerfield Plaza and renovated Pavilions, and also improve ballpark circulation through the addition of elevators, escalators and bridges – all without changing the look and feel of one of the most picturesque stadiums in sports. Further details on this project will be announced as Opening Day approaches, including food and beverage concepts and interactive experiences.

Once the foundations are poured and ready, things should speed up.
Will it be ready by Opening Day? I doubt it. Unless it’s a 24/7 work schedule, but as the Dodgers are all about the $$$, they probably won’t want to pay the O.T..
Not even throwing the division series gave them enough time
If this was Minute Maid Park (Houston) they’d be way behind schedule now. Those high tech survellience systems are expensive, and costly to integrate seamlessly into the architecture to achieve ideal concealment. Those CIA installation crews don’t come cheap either.
