Giants resume construction on Oracle Park outfield walls, new bullpens

Share

If you've spent part of the last three months playing at Oracle Park on your PlayStation, you have a decent idea of what the outfield will look like once construction is finished. But in real life the work continues, and after taking a break because of shelter-in-place restrictions, the Giants have resumed the relocation of their bullpens. 

As part of a release sent out Monday, the Giants included a couple of pictures showing what the center field wall and Triples Alley look like right now:

The deepest part of the yard, shown in that first picture, is coming in just six feet -- from 421 to 415 -- to make room for the visiting bullpen. The center field wall is coming in eight feet and left-center will be five feet shorter. Seats were cut out of the bleachers to accommodate the bullpens, which are being moved off the field to make it safer for outfielders. 

The Giants had to pause construction in March but knew they were close enough to completion that they could get everything in place before players returned. As it turned out, they have plenty of time, as owners and players remain far apart in talks.

You'll surely see completed images of the bullpen in the coming weeks. For now, here's a pretty good sneak peak, courtesy of "MLB: The Show."
