UFCU Disch-Falk Field
Originally named Disch-Falk Field after former Longhorns coaches Billy Disch and Bibb Falk, the facility has been home to Texas Baseball since 1975. Currently undergoing renovations largely funded by Austin-based University Federal Credit Union, the facility has been renamed UFCU Disch-Falk Field and is on its way to becoming the top college baseball facility in the country. The DLR Group designed the renovation of the facility, which will include a new façade, press box, ticket office and team store. The work also calls for replacement of the field lighting system, as well as an upgraded sound system. For the fans, renovations and expansion will include improved seating areas and concourse with new concessions, and restrooms. The players will enjoy new locker rooms, training facilities, and batting cages. And, thanks in large part to a gift from Steve and Ava Late (BMW of Austin), the stadium now enjoys a new scoreboard and video board.

Video cameras
Video cameras are not permitted in the facility.

Video/DVDs
Fans may purchase a variety of products supplied by IMG College Sports/Longhorn Sports Network, including special DVDs. To purchase, visit the Longhorns Video Store.
