-
The Fargo Park District will be responsible for design, bidding and construction of the backstop wall, making necessary modifications for new seating, and repairing any field damage caused by the construction. This includes drainage, irrigation, turf, agrilime and walkways.
-
Fargo Post 2 Baseball Club will be responsible for the costs of removing current seating behind the backstop wall and purchasing and installing new seating.
Both the Fargo Park District and Fargo Post 2 Baseball Club aim to minimize facility programming impacts, with a goal of substantial project completion by October 15, 2025.
