The University of Kentucky is nearing completion on its new 50M stadium and practice facility entirely dedicated to its men's baseball program. Set to open in 2019, the new stadium will have 2,500 permanent seats with additional grass berms that will enable up to a total 4,000 person capacity. It will replace Cliff Hagan Stadium, which had been home to UK baseball since its opening in 1969. Most of the funding for the new stadium will come from private fundraising, while a $6.5 million five-year loan from UK’s General Fund will cover the rest.
