The most ambitious special-event game in Major League Baseball history is now aw
ash in construction, furthering the initiative to turn a massive motorsports ven
ue into a ballpark.

大聯盟史上最具野心的特別比賽，目前已經開始動工了

要將賽車場改裝成棒球場


The league, along with a series of contractors and field consultants, is now ful
ly underway on its work to turn Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee into a playa
ble baseball facility for the upcoming MLB Speedway Classic on Aug. 2 between th
e Braves and Reds.

8/2這天，勇士和紅人將蒞臨Bristol Motor Speedway

而目前聯盟已經開始進行改裝工程了

Work includes a temporary removal of some infield structures, the installation o
f nearly 18,000 tons of gravel to level off the infield, and another 340 tons of
 clay to serve as a base for the synthetic playing surface, similar to the one u
sed at Toronto’s Rogers Centre. Additional lighting will also be installed to c
ater to the specific needs of baseball.

包含暫時移除一些場內設施

鋪上約18000公噸的碎石以整平內野、並加鋪340公噸黏土作為人造草皮

並要額外加裝照明系統，以滿足棒球比賽的特定需求


“It’s kind of like Christmas for us,” said Bristol Motor Speedway president J
erry Caldwell. “We’ve been preparing for a few years now for a Christmas meal,
 and we’ve now at least gotten the food together, and are starting to prepare.
Our engineers are pleased with the progress to date, and we’ll be continuing to
 move that along over the next few weeks.”

Bristol Motor Speedway的總裁表示這對它們來說像是聖誕禮物一樣

它們為這個已經準備多年惹

對目前改裝進度也很滿意



Attendance Matters

Though set to be the largest single-game attendance of the season, the league an
d Bristol Motor Speedway have not finalized their seating manifest for the game.
 Officials, however, said the final turnout “will be historic,” and the figure
 could challenge the 115,300 who saw a 2008 exhibition between the Red Sox and D
odgers at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, the largest crowd to date to see a base
ball game.

這場預計會是本季進場人數最高的大聯盟賽事

但目前大聯盟和場地方目前尚未確定最終的座位配置方案

但官方表示數字將會是歷史性的

要挑戰2008年道奇紅襪，前往洛杉磯紀念體育競技場的115,300人(熱身賽)

要創下單場最多觀眾數的棒球比賽


While a massive crowd for baseball, that plan will still not use all of the roug
hly 165,000-person capacity at Bristol Motor Speedway, the world’s eighth-bigge
st sports venue. Because of the oval shape and massive infield at the facility,
the league has sought to balance between having as many fans attend as possible
while still ensuring proper views of the game.

當然不可能將原本這賽車場的容量全部使用(16.5萬人)

要在座位數和觀賽視野中取得平衡


The league has supplemented its Bristol game plans with on-site concerts by Tim
McGraw, Pitbull, Jake Owen, Timothy Wayne, Reyna Roberts, and Adam Doleac, as we
ll as a fan festival.

賽後也會舉辦演唱會


“We’re working to make sure that for every fan who walks through that door, th
ere’s a value proposition for them, whether they want to be closer to home plat
e, closer to the concert, or anywhere in between,” said MLB director of global
event business and strategy Aaron Kaplan.


MLB全球活動業務與策略總監Aaron Kaplan:

「我們正在努力確保每一位走進場內的觀眾都能感受到物有所值，無論他們是想靠近本壘、
靠近演唱會舞台，或是選擇介於兩者之間的任何位置」
