架构师提供的文本描述。CHS球场首先被认为是一个公园和公共空间，然后是一个体育场所。该设计团队与圣保罗市和圣保罗圣徒协会合作，致力于提供独特的粉丝体验。设计团队在州际公路、高架桥、轻轨运营设施和历史悠久的洛城商业区边缘地带之间的残馀场地中滑行了7000座。

Text description provided by the architects. CHS Field is conceived first as a park and a public space, and then as a sports venue. Working with the City of Saint Paul and the St. Paul Saints, an independent league franchise committed to providing a unique fan experience, the design team slipped a 7,000 seat ballpark into a remnant site between an interstate highway, an elevated bridge, a light rail operations facility and the historic Lowertown District on the edge of the City’s business district.

该建筑是低和紧凑的，与大约的结构围绕着座位碗和运动场。一个轻型套房水平的结构漂浮在地面的座位碗和砖石广场舒适的建筑物之上。主入口框架第五街的结束，创造了与城市核心的重要联系。大厅和套房层的巨大开放空间与电梯套房层相结合，创造了一个对周围环境多孔的空间和一个从相邻空间可见的公园。

The architecture is low and compact, with the ballpark structures surrounding the seating bowl and playing field. A light suite level structure floats above the grounded seating bowl and masonry concourse amenity buildings. The main entrance frames the termination of Fifth Street, creating an important connection with the city core. Large open volumes at the concourse and the suite level combined with the elevate suite level create a space that is porous to its surroundings and a park that is visible from adjacent spaces.

该材料的调色板受到限制，在顶盖和套间水平的底部使用木材，再加上暗钢和砖石。设计的约束成为一种衬托和框架，为人们所熟知的精力充沛的宣传和活动提供了框架。

The material palette is restrained, using wood on the underside of the canopy and suite level, combined with dark steel and masonry.  The design’s restraint becomes a foil and a framework for the energetic promotions and events for which the ballclub is so well known.

大约公园作为一个公共空间运作；它提供了社会参与的机会以及公民和地区的身份。该设计最大限度地利用了网站的社会机会。从身体上看，这里有一个围绕着比赛场地和座位碗的公平的大厅，而且价格低廉，经济上也很经济。当球迷们在公园里散步，享受游戏的同时，大厅外的被占领空间提供了社交参与的机会。例如，这些东西有时会被设计成与巴洛克理发店或罗莎琳德修女的椅子按摩站一起，有时还会留给你进行编程的相遇。球场的身份与一种位置感紧密相连，通过结构的孔隙度将公园的体验与地区和城市的天际线联系在一起。该公园的轻盈，开放和物质欢迎所有能力的访客。通过提供充足的创收空间，该设计有助于团队为所有收入水平创造负担得起的娱乐。

The ballpark operates as a public space; it offers social engagement opportunities as well as a civic and district identity. The design maximizes the social opportunity of the site. It is accessible physically with a  level concourse which surrounds the playing field and the seating bowl, and economically with its low ticket prices.  Captured spaces off the concourse offer social engagement opportunities as fans walk around the park while enjoying the game. These are sometimes programmed, for example, with the Ballpark Barber or Sister Rosalind’s chair massage station, and sometime left for u-nprogrammed encounters.  The identity of the ballpark is closely aligned with a sense of place, connecting the ballpark experience with the district and the City skyline through the porosity of structure. The ballpark’s lightness, openness and material welcome visitors of all abilities. By providing ample revenue generating spaces, the design assists the team in creating affordable entertainment for all income levels.

位于圣保罗历史悠久的洛城区，是1800年初仓库结构的集合，该公园试图改变历史设计话语，而不仅仅是兼容性或差异化辩论，而是对上下文关系、需求和机会进行更严格的评估。圆滑的低矮球场为周围真正具有历史意义的建筑提供了强有力的景观，将体验定位在区内。当入口广场将第五街的景色定格到具有历史意义的圣保罗酒店时，这座城市的天际线将视野从外野的草护堤座位上生动地展现出来。历史仓库的详细视图是由高架套房层构成的。木料、钢材和砖石材料，间接地指仓库内部坚固的木材和铁结构。与该地区庞大而强大的仓库相邻的圆形建筑的空隙性、轻盈性和开放性创造了一个令人难忘的反差。

Located adjacent to, but not in, Saint Paul’s historic Lowertown District, a collection of early 1800 warehouse structures, the ballpark sought to change historic design discourse beyond the compatibility or differentiation debate to a more critical assessment of contextual relationships, needs and opportunities. The sleek low ballpark offers powerful views to the surrounding truly historic structures, locating the experience within the district. While the entry plaza frames a view up Fifth Street to the historic Saint Paul Hotel, the city skyline animates the view from grass berm seating in the outfield. Detailed views of historic warehouses are framed along the concourse by the elevated suite level. The ballpark materials, wood steel and masonry, refer indirectly to the robust timber and iron structures of the warehouse interiors. The porosity, lightness, and openness of the ballpark architecture adjacent to the district’s massive formidable warehouses create a memorable contrast.
