The Lehigh Valley IronPigs, in conjunction with Lehigh County, announced the ballpark construction project has been funded in its entirety and the construction remains on time for Opening Day on April 4, 2023. During the press conference event, local media and guests received a tour of the construction progress.

Also, the Philadelphia Phillies have joined the construction project and are investing with additional facility features and improvements above the minimum requirements in further supporting their player development and minor league system.

“We are thrilled to invest in the Lehigh Valley and Coca-Cola Park,” said Phillies President, Baseball Operations, Dave Dombrowski. “Lehigh Valley is our long-term home for our Triple-A players, and we want their experience to rival that of our Major League players in Philadelphia. With the public support from Lehigh County and others, along with the IronPigs’ commitment, together we’ll have the best Minor League facility in the country.”

“The Lehigh Valley IronPigs are proud to call the Lehigh Valley home and to be the Triple-A Affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies. With our recent lease extension through 2052, we look forward to decades upon decades ahead together at Coca-Cola Park,” said IronPigs President and General Manager Kurt Landes.

“The IronPigs are part of the Lehigh County family,” said Lehigh County Executive Phillips Armstrong. We’re so happy we were able to work together with so many groups to keep them home with us!”

The construction project, mandated by new Major League Baseball facility standards, will update the home and visiting clubhouses including managers and coaches’ offices, locker rooms, training rooms, medical areas, weight rooms, a female locker room and more.

The Press will have a more in-depth story on Coca-Cola Park in an upcoming edition.
