Sometime next month three design-build teams including the nation’s primary stadium design firms will submit proposals for a renovated Cheney Stadium.

While those teams will come up with their proposals, the winner is expected to meet a detailed list of requirements drawn up by the city and the Rainiers – all for less than $30 million.

Construction would start in March and run through the 2010 season. Completion is set for the start of the 2011 season.

Based on that Project Summary, here’s what the new ballpark will offer fans:

– a main seating bowl with 6,000 fixed seats and 2,000 bleacher seats plus a party deck.

– new, larger dugouts with connections to new, larger and fancier home and visiting team clubhouses (with 11 plasma screens for the home team and six for the visitors). The clubhouses will include a player lounge and a family lounge.

– a bunch more bathrooms in the main concourse, in the bleachers, in the party deck area and near a grassy berm.

– a kids play area.

– an outfield berm where fans can watch the game on the grass. Think Tightwad Hill that you have to pay for.

– ticket windows and entrance in left field.

– an outfield concourse behind a new outfield fence.

– new bullpens outside the field of play.

– a lot more concession stands, many with a 42-inch plasma screen so fans can keep an eye on the game while in line, a team shop and other stores.

– six large suites (seating 20 fans) and 10 smaller suites (12 fans) with their own restrooms, their own hallway, their own commissary. The large suites must have two 42 inch plasma screens and the small suites must have one 32 inch screens.

– dugout suites behind home plate and between the player dugouts that will offer fans a ground-level view of the game.

– a restaurant on the suite level with at least four 50-inch plasma screens.

– a remote-controlled camera system to capture the game and feed it to all of those TVs.
