OSPORTS provided professional design services for renovations at VyStar Ballpark, focusing on enhancing the right field, center field, and home plate areas. Situated in the heart of Jacksonville, this beautiful ballpark is ready to support more fan activity and year-round use, given its proximity to downtown and the Jumbo Shrimp’s success as a Triple-A club. This initiative marked the first major renovation at VyStar Ballpark since its establishment in 2003. While aiming to meet MLB requirements, the project has revolutionized the Crustacean Nation fan experience. 

Key features include the new Right Field Building, the PNC Home Plate Club, and the inviting New Center Field Front Porch, positioned as the primary entrance for fans and a focal point of activity. These enhancements will welcome fans to the ballpark in unprecedented ways. The new multi-level building in right-field houses the Jumbo Shrimp VyStar Credit Union Souvenir Store on the street level and offers a versatile space for banquets and meetings on the concourse level, further enhancing downtown Jacksonville’s offerings.

The project scope included renovations to the lobby, hospitality, and spectator areas, as well as Jumbo Shrimp/administration facilities, and operations and support facilities. The improvements promote exploration of the ballpark through experiential areas such as the new CF fan plaza, food and beverage locations, kids’ spaces, and interactive elements. The project demanded expertise in venue operations, food service, scheduling around baseball games, and capturing the lively essence of a Minor League venue.
