Creating CHS Field and integrating the St. Paul Saints’ new home into its Lowertown neighborhood required close collaboration to overcome budget, site and logistical constraints. The Saints’ new ballpark incorporates elements of Lowertown’s historic architecture, reinforcing a strong connection to its surroundings. The playing field and entire seating bowl are located below street level, reducing the overall visual impact of the ballpark in the neighborhood. Wells partnered to deliver an integrated prefabricated structural solution supporting 75,000 sq ft of hollowcore plank for the main concourse. The seating structure and vertical circulation were supported through coordinated prefabricated systems, including raker-supported seating areas and wall systems forming the elevator core, outfield perimeter and batter’s eye wall.
