In 2022, the Cleveland Guardians initiated a multiyear project to revamp Progressive Field, focusing on the fan experience, player amenities, and operational efficiency. As the architect of record, Moody Nolan worked with MANICA and a construction management team to create transformative spaces for fans and athletes.
Join us to hear from representatives from Moody Nolan, the Guardians, and Mortenson. The team will discuss stakeholder alignment processes, lessons learned, and the importance of the community benefits agreement in optimizing the game-day experience. Plus, learn how communication paired with a positive team environment fostered cross-team collaboration to deliver an award-winning ballpark.
