call for a turf field, stands for 4,000 spectators, a press box, concessions … and easy-access parking.

The lot is shared by both the school and team. The IronPigs hold easement rights for the lot.

“That’s
why we came up with the deck idea, because we don’t want to take away
parking spaces. We want the IronPigs to have the same amount of parking
they have right now. That was very positive to be able to work with the
IronPigs organization and Lehigh County to pull it off,” Lysek told The Morning Call.

The
parking structure is expected to be complete in spring, in time for the
start of the Iron Pigs’ season, with the stadium targeted for
completion six months later. It would connect to the school.
