Neben einer Sanierung der Rasen- und Tennenflächen des Spielfeldes,  der Zaunanlagen und der Bewässerung, fokussieren sich die Bauarbeiten zu  Beginn auf die Errichtung einer Flutlichtanlage, die noch während der  Saison 2018 in Betrieb genommen werden soll. Die übrigen Bauarbeiten  werden vor allem in der spielfreien Zeit vorgenommen. Insgesamt  investiert die Stadt Bonn 1,5 Millionen Euro, wobei das Land  Nordrhein-Westfalen die Investitionen mit knapp 50 Prozent fördert.

Die Baseball-EM 2019 wird im September 2019 in Bonn und Solingen ausgetragen.
