Just a year ago Tuesday, the dirt lot that became Polar Park saw the first steel beam go up as construction on Worcester’s new ballpark got underway. These days, it’s looking just about ready to welcome the new Worcester Red Sox as the park finishes taking shape.
With Opening Day at Polar Park pushed back to May 11, the construction has primarily focused on making sure the players have everything they need in April, when the park will open as the Red Sox’s alternate site. The delay gave the construction crew a little leeway to complete areas like the concourses, press boxes and suites. But the field itself, aside from some patches of snow and ice that don’t ever seem to get any sun, looks ready for baseball.
