For years, the dirty stain on the Texas Longhorns baseball program was the limiter restricting the possibility for maximum success by the lack of an indoor practice facility, an area where the Forty Acres lagged behind not only in the Big 12 Conference, but also nationally.
With the arrival of athletics director Chris Del Conte, that’s finally changed — ground broke on the J. Dan Brown Player Development Center in September 2018 and it opened in time for fall practice this year, becoming the first facility on campus paid for entirely by donors.
“The bottom line is, this does not happen without the generosity of our donors,” Texas baseball head coach David Pierce said.
