Located in famed Kelley Square, Worcester’s new ballpark sits in the heart of the city’s resurgent Canal District. The ballpark is the new home of the WooSox, the Red Sox Triple-A affiliate. As fans sit in their seats, they can see the Providence & Worcester Railroad train pass by over the left-field wall. Designed by renowned sports stadium architect, Janet Marie Smith, the new park fits in seamlessly with Worcester’s industrial, mill-town roots.

Manafort-Precision was selected to perform the concrete work for the 10,000-person ballpark, the Left Field Office Building, and the 500-space Parking Garage. Manafort’s scope of work included the foundations, slabs on grade, slabs on deck, stadium light tower bases, terraced bowl seating, and dugouts. Of special importance to our crews was building the Worcester Wall in the right field. The project consisted of over 17,500 cubic yards of concrete and over 850 tons of reinforcing steel. All work was self-performed.

Manafort worked tirelessly through the Coronavirus pandemic to complete the project on time under a very fast-tracked schedule.
