Project Progress

 
December 2024 // Photo Gallery
Construction crew members are working on the home team dugout space, as well as making progress on concrete footings, walls and column piers throughout the ground level.

November 2024 // Photo Gallery
Concrete has begun pouring into footings along the West side of the ballpark, into what will eventually become the visiting team dugout. Footings are being dug elsewhere on site and utility work is progressing throughout the ballpark. Miscellaneous ground work and preparation is taking place for next stages in construction, including larger material being crushed down into finer material for backfill.

Construction crews are continuing work on the ballpark site; at this stage work is progressing on utility tie-ins and storm lines. In addition, crew members are digging for footings and preparing the footings for concrete pouring.
 

August 28, 2024: Construction Celebration // Event Recap + Quotes // Photo Gallery
Over 150 guests gathered for a construction celebration at the future site of Charlie Monfort Field at America First Ballpark. Once the main event program concluded, guests stuck around to enjoy hot dogs and light refreshments—all while looking ahead to a new era of Utah Baseball.
 

Summer 2024: Ground Broken
Construction has begun on Charlie Monfort Field at America First Ballpark. Initial site preparation involved removing elements of the former Utah Baseball practice field, including the backstop, dugouts, outfield fence and scoreboard. The former indoor hitting building was demolished and the field surface was cleared.
