The official debut of BYU baseball’s new state-of-the-art field is Thursday against Nebraska Omaha to start a three-game series.
This week, for the first time, the Cougars will play an NCAA game on the new field at Miller Park. In the history of BYU baseball, it has always played on natural grass, including the past 48 years at the present site at Larry H. Miller Field.
The field is now a synthetic turf field. The most valuable upgrade is the heating and drainage system that was installed underneath.
The new system can melt three to four inches of snow and drain 19 inches of water per hour, allowing a lot more field time during the winter months.
