- Renovations are estimated to cost around 1.4 million.
- These upgrades should bring more fan attraction and raise ticket sales.
- The parking lot will be the first to get upgraded then the stadium will follow.
The Kern County Board of Supervisors approved the bidding to begin to remodel integral parts of Sam Lynn’s ballpark. I’m Eric J. Dockery your Bakersfield neighborhood reporter. To name a couple the county plans to revitalize the locker rooms and scoreboard.
The current tenants of the ballpark the Bakersfield Train Robbers. Are happy to call Sam Lynn their home. With all the historic memories, and features that it brings like being one of only two ballparks in the country that faces west.
Luke Eskew Bakersfield Train Robber said “It’s important to get more fanfare here just to get recognized as a professional team in town. I know when the blaze left, a lot of people missed them being here. So hopefully these upgrades can encourage more people to come to games. Hoping we can get more exposure to bring more fans here.”
