Field of Dreams
Come 2015, Maverick softball and baseball players will have clubhouses, training facilities, and press boxes worthy of the nation’s best collegiate programs. A planned $5.5 million expansion and renovation will add field houses to Allan Saxe Field, home of the softball team, and to Clay Gould Ballpark, home of the baseball team. The work will include field improvements and upgrades to the sound systems and bleachers. “This is a pivotal year for UT Arlington athletics as we move to the Sun Belt Conference and compete with a new cohort of like-minded universities,” Athletics Director Jim Baker says. “World-class facilities allow our student-athletes to be their best, both on and off the fields.”
