Jerry Kindall Field at Frank Sancet Stadium
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jerry Kindall Field at Frank Sancet Stadium is a baseball stadium in Tucson, Arizona, on the campus of the University of Arizona. It is the home field of the University of Arizona Wildcats college baseball teams. The stadium can hold 6,500 people.
Arizona's baseball team began playing games at the current location in 1967, which is directly east of Arizona Stadium, the university's football stadium, and south of the McKale Center. The stadium was named after Frank Sancet in 1986 and in 2004 was renamed to include former coach Jerry Kindall.
The field was recently modernized, which added a videoboard and turned the protective wall in right field into the "College World Series" wall. New batting cages, a lawn seating area and a new press box were also recently added.
Ballpark traditions include the "6th Street Slam", when an Arizona player hits it over the right field fence and onto traffic on Tucson's 6th Street.
