SALT LAKE CITY - The Utah baseball team can see the light at the end of the tunnel on construction of its new on-campus home, Charlie Monfort Field at America First Ballpark.
Interior spaces are beginning to take shape, including the locker room, film room, coaches' offices and indoor training facility among others. Netting has been installed and is functional for the indoor hitting tunnels and pitching lab.
Voice of the Utes
Bill Riley and associate AD for facilities, operations and capital projects
Gavin Gough walked through the ballpark recently to showcase the progress on the facility's interior spaces.
Utah begins the 2026 season on February 13 and will play its inaugural series in the Utes' new home from March 6-9, welcoming Grand Canyon to Salt Lake City.
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.
