Hawks Field is named for one of the primary donor families that contributed to the construction of the baseball stadium. It has a playground down the right field line. Hawks field is the first collegiate venue to use the SubAir system which can heat and cool the field year round.[citation needed] It was selected as the best playing surface in each of its six years of existence.[citation needed] In November of 2007, Hawks Field won the Baseball Field of the Year Award in the College/University division by the Sports Turf Managers Association (STMA) for the second time.[citation needed] The field earned its first honor in 2003 and is the only college park in the country to be a two-time winner.[citation needed]
The stadium replaced Buck Belzer Stadium, the Cornhuskers' on-campus baseball field.
