Description
Populous restored the park's original brick facade and 1926-era arches at the Legacy Gateway entrance while adding premium seating, suites, and modern amenities. The signage and wayfinding system, led by Populous designer Nick Abele, drew on baseball ephemera (tickets, scoresheets) and a recurring pattern of three circles referencing baseball's numerology, fabricated by Identity Group and DCL.
