Texas baseball coach David Pierce wants UFCU Disch-Falk Field upgrades to begin in 2017

Planned upgrades to UFCU Disch-Falk Field to improve the facilities for the Texas Longhorns baseball program detailed in the University of Texas Master Plan released in late May could be underway as soon as the summer of 2017 if school officials follow through on the wishes of new head coach David Pierce.

The Master Plan shows an on-site player development facility that will feature an air-conditioned training space with four mounds, six batting cages, and storage, in addition to serving baseball operations and featuring video equipment.

Presumably it will take some more time to implement an off-site player development facility that will require the purchase of additional land and provide an indoor practice area with full baseball and softball infield and club areas for pre-game meals.
