A Trusted Partner in Queens 

Our relationship with the New York Mets began with a shared goal: to keep Citi Field operating at the highest level while continuously improving the fan experience. Under a master services agreement, we’re providing ongoing structural, renewal, forensics, and resilience engineering, as well as protective design and security services, across the ballpark. 

That partnership has grown into a close collaboration with design teams, including Populous, Rafael Viñoly Architects, and Gensler. Over time, we’ve become a reliable engineering resource – a trusted partner – supporting both headline-grabbing upgrades and behind-the-scenes infrastructure planning. 

The Largest Scoreboard in MLB History

The centerpiece of the latest upgrades is impossible to miss: the most massive scoreboard in Major League Baseball history. We engineered the structural support system behind this enormous installation, whose scale demanded careful coordination and robust design to ensure long-term performance. 

For fans, the impact is immediate: larger-than-life replays, ultra-high-resolution graphics, and expanded stats bring new intensity to every inning.

Expanding Premium & Hospitality Spaces 

Renovations throughout the stadium introduced a range of upgraded premium spaces designed to make the fan experience more comfortable and flexible. We added and reworked suites, enclosed formerly outdoor areas, and incorporated movable partitions and new roof structures to make layouts easier to adjust for different events. Structural upgrades also supported new amenities, refreshed seating areas, and improved ADA access. 

Together, these changes mean more inviting, adaptable spaces for fans to gather, celebrate, and enjoy the game while enhancing revenue for the ball club. 

Planning for Performance & Resilience 

Beyond visible upgrades, we’ve also helped safeguard the ballpark’s long-term health.

Support Through Construction & Beyond 

Our involvement didn’t stop once construction began. We implemented vibration monitoring and developed mitigation strategies related to pile driving at nearby Etihad Park. Protective design and security reviews strengthened perimeter conditions and parking controls, reinforcing day-to-day safety and operations.

From a record-breaking scoreboard to expanded hospitality spaces and strengthened infrastructure, the upgrades at Citi Field deliver on multiple levels. Owners get a more competitive, resilient asset. Fans get sharper views, better amenities, and more memorable moments. 

Every action on the field now plays out against a bigger, brighter backdrop engineered to keep the energy high, from the opening pitch to the final out.
