Community: Ribbon Cutting Ceremony to Celebrate Newly Renovated Santa Ana Stadium/ Ceremonia de Reapertura del Estadio de Santa Ana

SANTA ANA, CA – The City of Santa Ana invites you to the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the Santa Ana Stadium on Tuesday, October 18, 2016 at 3:30 p.m.

The purpose of the event is to celebrate the re-opening of the Stadium after extensive renovations of the structure’s concrete surfacing was completed. Along with the structural renovations, modern upgrades were also made to the facility’s existing press box and press box restrooms.

Due to age and weather, various sections of the concrete structure of the Santa Ana Stadium had cracked and broken off, exposing the reinforcing steel and causing it to become corroded. In addition, the protective fencing adjacent to the lateral seating areas was damaged and rusted in various sections.

The City conducted two studies to identify the extent of the damage and estimated cost for repairs. In 2015, funding was provided to begin the design and renovation work. During the concrete renovation process, other major structural repairs were identified. City Council approved an additional $800,000 funding for the project, providing a total of $1,570,300 for the much needed renovation and repairs. The improvements were completed in August 2016 and the Stadium is now open for field reservations and community use.

Local residents, adult and youth sports organizations and the general public are invited to join us for the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on Tuesday, October 18. Light refreshments will be provided. The Santa Ana Stadium is located at 602 N. Flower Street in Santa Ana.
