Team president Stan Kasten confirmed Dodger Stadium would be ready by the time the Dodgers returned from Japan.
“We’re there,” Kasten said. “We’re going to be ready for our first exhibition game with the Angels on the 23rd, and of course, for our big opening series starting on the 27th.”
The focus of the offseason remodel was on the clubhouse, which had not been updated in over a decade, but there were also minor updates to the plaza.
“We have tinkered around the edges for fans like adding a couple new things in the plaza, which has become such a smash popular area, something we opened in the last five years,” Kasten told McKain on Dodgers Dougout Live.
“This was about the long overdue renovations to the clubhouse, adding another batting cage, making the clubhouse kind of a more modern clubhouse,” Kasten said. “Twelve years ago when we did it the first time, we were state-of-the-art and there’s an arms race among teams that are always competing with each other and we had become no longer state-of-the-art. Now, we’re top of the pyramid again in terms of areas for players to train, areas for them to practice, tools for both coaches and players, modern technology that wasn’t available 12 years ago. We’ve also built in adaptability for things that might be coming down the road in the next five or 10 years. That was overdue, and it’s going to be great.”
