In the shadows of the Citrus Bowl sits the historic Tinker Field, which will be demolished and moved with the renovation.
It will be moved kitty-corner to where McCracken Field sits now, and takes Orlando's richest baseball history along with it.
Built in the early 1920s, Tinker Field served as a spring training stadium for the Reds and the Dodgers.
It then played host to the Washington Senators, now known as the Minnesota Twins, from 1930s all the way to 1989.
During that time, the biggest names in baseball played at Tinker Field.
"From Babe Ruth to Lou Gehrig, Ted Williams, Bob Feller, the list goes on and on, they all played here they stayed right here in downtown Orlando," said Michael Perkins with the Orange County Regional History Center.
Tinker Field is named after Joe Tinker. After retiring from the Chicago Cubs, Tinker came to Orlando and helped it become a baseball city.
"The Tinker name is very important to our history and we would hope the city keeps the name in whatever endeavor they do to re-create this field," said Perkins.
In addition to hosting baseball greats, the stadium also played host to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1964.
"One of the very few times he came to speak in Orlando and he spoke at tinker field in 1964 to a crowd of about 2,000 people," said Perkins.
The city announced Monday the historic ballfield would be demolished and moved.
They said it has to go because they need the room for the Citrus Bowl, which is in need of structural repairs.
The new field will have covered seating for 500 people and other new amenities, along with some old artifacts.
The demolition of the field is already underway and is expected to take a few weeks.
They expect construction to be completed by spring 2015.
