In 1991, new dugouts were added, foul territory fencing was replaced, and fencing was built around the bullpens. In 2002 and 2003, 70-foot sunken dugouts with fencing were constructed. In 2004, the warning track was resurfaced. In 2006, a new electronic scoreboard, located beyond the right center field fence, was installed.
