Construction on UK baseball’s new $49 million stadium will begin in February 2017 and is expected to take 18-20 months. The stadium is projected to open in late fall 2018 and in time for the 2019 UK baseball season. It will be located off Alumni Drive between the new Kentucky Football Training Facility and the Wendell and Vickie Bell Soccer Complex, adding to the cluster of UK Athletics facilities in the area. The new stadium will feature a team lounge, locker room, training area, indoor hitting and pitching areas, and coaching offices, as well as a recruiting room. All spaces are either new to UK baseball or significantly larger than ones currently in use.
- The stadium will feature permanent seating for nearly 2,500 fans with additional space on grass berms to accommodate a total of more than 4,000 fans for regular-season games.
- Beyond the outfield wall, temporary bleachers can be installed for NCAA Tournament games to bring the seating capacity to more than 7,000. Fan amenities also will include suites and a new club area.
There are naming opportunities available throughout this facility. If you are interested in supporting this capital project through naming rights please contact the K Fund at (859) 257-6300 or email KFund@uky.edu.
