Kristin Anderson — aĚýsports architecture expert, Augsburg College archivist, and art history professor — was quoted in a Star Tribune article on the architecture of the new CHS Field set to open in the Lowertown district of downtown St. Paul this spring.ĚýCHS Field is the future home of the St. Paul Saints minor league team, and its architecture featuresĚýa sleek low-slung design comprisedĚýof black concrete and steel. The article presentedĚýa number of individuals’Ěýopinions of the design, noting that the structure is a standout amongst its adjacentĚýbuildings.
“The immediate expectation was that it had to match the things around it — ye old ballpark — and I don’t think that’s necessary … The subtlety of the exterior allows the action of the place to shine,” Anderson said.
