Architectural Excellence : Made from 36 cut containers, Great Dane Duck Blind & Suites now hosts a three-tiered general admission “Duck Blind” area that offers better sight-lines and additional seating will improve the game-watching experience. The 7,500 square-foot area holds up to 700 guests and runs parallel to the foul line on the first base side.
The first tier of the suites is a field-level area that features entertainment space and a bar. The bar features expanded views and an additional three tiers for added spectator visibility. Climate-controlled suites and an outside seating area occupy the second level. The third level includes an indoor/outdoor patio for added visitor enjoyment, while the fourth floor features a roof-top suite. A 40’ refrigerated unit was added to the structure and was modified in order to serve beer from tappers to patrons.
The Great Dane Duck Blind & Suites was awarded the Best Ballpark Improvement (Over $1M) by Ballpark Digest.

Cost Energy Effectiveness : The ballpark was out of date and was not equipped to hold a growing number of fans. This customer was motivated to move quickly on this project, as the upcoming baseball season was right around the corner. By building with shipping containers, Pac-Van helped the customer save on both time and cost. The durability of these containers ensures that the new “Duck Blind” area will last for many years; the containers’ ability to be stacked means they can continue to easily expand the ballpark if and when necessary.
