'But really, it's trying to finalize things from a Major League Baseball standpoint as well, and figuring out what exactly we want to do with the field.' 'We have a rolodex of vendors for bleachers and things like that for large-scale events that we would always contact in terms of that,' Weinberg said. Weinberg wouldn't say when that will take place. That could create an issue for Go The Distance, which may have to replace those items after MLB leaves and eventually hands over the stadium. The locker rooms, lights, seats and bleachers will all be torn down. Weinberg said the field, dugouts, bullpens, fences and irrigation system will stay at the site after Thursday's game.īut a week or so after the game, Weinberg expects MLB to start disassembling other parts of the park.

The specially constructed stadium around the MLB field, which seats 8,000 fans and was built next to the original diamond at the movie site, is a temporary facility for Thursday's game.
