Financing
The venue was publicly funded.

The Harrisburg Senators worked out a deal for $45 million in upgrades to Metro Bank Park. Some work was done for the 2009 season and the job will be fully complete by 2010.
The announcement comes after nearly a decade of city and team officials publicly calling for and speculating on upgrades necessary to keep the Senators – a Class AA affiliate of the Washington Nationals – competitive in attendance races with other Eastern League clubs.
The city's portion of the funding, estimated at $18 million, has been in place for more than three years, Mayor Stephen Reed said. All that was needed to proceed with construction was money from the state. That finally came through.
Harrisburg officials watched this past decade as the state government allotted more than $200 million each to Philadelphia and Pittsburgh for major-league ballparks, along with money to a handful of minor-league venues, including independent league teams in York and Lancaster.
Construction was been divided into two phases, with most of the cosmetic changes, including upgraded seating bowls and the addition of 20 luxury suites and new activity centers, that began after the 2009 season.
The venue’s first corporate name was Commerce Bank Park, but was later altered because of a company name change. (Baseball, Facilities, Financial, Professional Sports)
