The second oldest ballpark in the MLB (and the oldest in the National League) has been undergoing a series of renovations in recent years to update and improve the fan and player experiences.
The most recent round of updates took place this offseason between October 2017 and April 2018. The latest construction phase focused on an enhanced concourse and new box seats for the fans, and wider dugouts, two new batting cages, and a new trainers room adjacent to the third base dugout for the players.
Courtesy of EarthCam, you can now watch a time lapse video of the construction process from along the first base line, the third base line, and center field.
