Dick Tomey’s legacy will be honored every time the Arizona Wildcats hit the practice field.
The UA announced Friday that its new outdoor practice fields will be named the Dick Tomey Practice Fields. The school’s all-time winningest coach passed away in May.
The Wildcats, who open training camp this evening, spend the bulk of their practice time on two fields adjacent to the new Cole and Jeannie Davis Sports Center.
A naming presentation, as well as a dedication, will take place later this season on a date to be determined.
“Our Wildcat family is proud to honor Coach Tomey in a very special way,” UA athletic director Dave Heeke said in a news release.
