South Shore
Little League
Staten Island, NY
The grandstand is envisioned as a series of glue-laminated wood “bents” forming the structure for seating and roof. Super-graphic signage on the perforated metal screen along the back of the grandstand, addressing visitors approaching from the street and parking lot, giving a clear sense of identity for the League. The new grandstands provide elevated seating for 275 fans, covered accessible seating and spectator standing areas along first and third base lines; a press box elevated above home plate; a conference room; trophy display, seating areas, and storage under the grandstand; recessed dugouts for the home and away players; a relocated memorial statue of Joseph A. Verdino Jr., and new more energy-efficient lights.
