The Regina Red Sox and Living Sky Sports and Entertainment (LSSE), a group that operates sports teams throughout Saskatchewan, have reached an agreement on plans for a new baseball stadium.
The new building would replace Currie Field, the 60-year-old ballpark that is currently home to the Sox. The plans would see capacity upgraded from 1,000 to at least 2,500, along with the addition of new amenities, such as a fieldhouse and paved parking.
The stadium is set to be constructed on the Dewdney Avenue rail yards, and it could cost $12 million to $23 million, depending on the amenities included. Plans for a multi-use building on the site have floated around for a while, but the partnership with LSSE could help the Red Sox make it a reality. The new stadium could also host outdoor events, such as concerts and festivals.
The Regina Red Sox are part of the Western Canadian Baseball League, a summer league that features collegiate players. New stadiums frequently make use of banner printing and other decorations when they first open, advertising their improved facilities.
The plan still has to be approved by the Regina municipal government. The team is currently on hiatus, choosing not to participate in the league’s altered 2021 season along with the other Saskatchewan-based WCBL teams, but it plans to return in 2022.
