Minor league teams have been asked to hit facility standards as part of the affiliation deals they signed with big\u002Dleague clubs in 2021.
The C’s, according to team president Andy Dunn, are set to upgrade the current home clubhouse on the third-base side this off-season as part of complying with new facility standards brought into effect when Major League Baseball revamped the minors ahead of the 2021 season.Start your day with a roundup of B.C.-focused news and opinion delivered straight to your inbox at 7 a.m., Monday to Friday.
The C’s have been a Blue Jays’ farm team since 2011. They signed a 10-year extension with Toronto in February 2021, and are their high-A affiliate in the six-team Northwest League. According to Baseball America, both home and visitor clubhouses in minor league parks going forward must be 1,000 square feet or larger and have 32 lockers for players with lockable storage. The current visiting team clubhouse at The Nat would definitely fall short of that standard.
There’s more structure in scheduling in the minors now and teams are spending more time at a single ballpark each week now. With only a couple of exceptions all season, the C’s played a six-game series against the one team every Tuesday to Sunday. Monday was a travel day. The C’s wound up this season with an announced attendance average of 5,135 at The Nat, which was down from the 6,210 they recorded in the last year of short-season, single-A in 2019 but up from the 3,833 on the books from 1999, which was the last time The Nat was home to full-season baseball with the triple-A C’s.
