  • A new complex will serve as home fields for UNO baseball and softball. In addition to enhancing UNO’s brand as a Division 1 athletic program, the complex will provide intramural and recreation opportunities for all UNO students.

  • Just like Baxter Arena, the complex will also be an asset for Omaha, providing practice fields for College World Series teams and hosting community high school and youth sporting events.

  • The complex will be entirely privately funded. The goal is to have the project completed by spring 2021.
