The Utah athletic department has taken preliminary steps toward building an on campus baseball facility. The Utah baseball program has struggled since joining the Pac-12 finishing last in the Pac-12 the past four seasons. This season has been one of their most successful in recent years (they currently are tied for first in the Pac-12 with a 9-6 conference record despite being just 14-22 overall). The University hopes an on campus stadium would boost fan interest in the program and help with recruiting. Currently the Utah baseball program shares 15,411 seat Smith's Ballpark with the Salt Lake Bee's.
Renderings have been drawn up for a 2,000 seat stadium which would be built on the sight of the current practice field on Guardsman Way adjacent to Sunnyside Park.
