Field turf has been installed, with Utah Baseball beginning Fall practice soon
SALT LAKE CITY - Construction progress continues on Charlie Monfort Field at America First Ballpark, set to become the new on-campus home of the Utah Baseball program ahead of the 2026 season. Turf installation is complete, just ahead of the team's start of Fall practice.
Recently associate AD for facilities, operations and capital projects Gavin Gough brought Utah fans on a tour of the venue as it starts to take form.
Located on Guardsman Way at the program's former practice facility, the new venue will feature permanent seating for 1,200 fans with additional grass berm seating in the outfield--bringing overall capacity to 3,000. Baseball support areas on-site will include locker rooms, coaches' offices, medical space, equipment storage, indoor batting/pitching cages and press box. Every seat for fans is close to the FieldTurf playing surface--creating an intimate college baseball environment--while still offering the comfort of close access to restrooms, concessions and other amenities.
