Widely recognized as one of the best collegiate baseball
facilities in America, Disch-Falk Field has been home to Texas
Baseball since 1975. The facility opened on Feb. 17, 1975,
when the eventual national champion Longhorns swept a doubleheader
from St. Mary's by scores of 4-0 and 11-0. Named for former
Longhorns coaches Billy Disch and Bibb Falk, the facility
seats more than 8,000 spectators and features chairbacks on
more than 5,000 seats and covered seating throughout most
of the stands. The current surface and warning track are AstroTurf
which was completely reinstalled in 1999. The dimensions are
340 feet down the left field line, 325 to right and 400 to
straightaway center field. There are eight light towers plus
banks atop the covered stands. The candle power is comparable
to major league parks. |
