POLAR PARK: Home of the Woo Sox! The Boston Red Sox’s Triple-A, minor league affiliate, the Pawtucket Red Sox, has fostered the skills of MLB greats like Roger Clemens and Nomar Garciaparra since the team was founded in 1973. Moving forward, the team – more commonly known as the “Paw Sox” due to the team’s Pawtucket, Rhode Island homebase – will go by a new name, the Woo Sox, in recognition of its new facility in downtown Worcester, Massachusetts. IBEW Local 103 is proud to help build Polar Park, the new facility that will relocate the Red Sox’s Triple-A team here to the Commonwealth!

IBEW Local 103 and Ostrow Electric teamed up with Worcester IBEW Local 96 in a strategic partnership to build Polar Park, which is scheduled to host its Opening Day on April 7, 2021. The park will have capacity to hold 10,000 guests, and the project will create 500 full-time and 2,000 part time jobs for local families. Polar Park is located right off of Interstate 290 in the Canal District of Worcester. Phase One will create 225 market rate apartments, a 150-room hotel, a second boutique hotel consisting of approximately 100 to 110 rooms overlooking the ballpark, and 65,000 square feet of retail/restaurants by January 1, 2021.
