Jack Coombs Field will look pretty different when Duke baseball fans return to the stadium in 2025.
The Blue Devils announced the start of a major renovation project for the longtime stadium on Friday. According to a release from the program, the changes include larger dugouts, updated bullpens, and different dimensions for the field.
The release also detailed some upgrades for the fans and players as well. The Blue Devils will add lawn seating alongside first base and down the right-field line, and the Duke baseball team will have a new player development lab at their disposal.
“As the energy surrounding our baseball program continues its upward trajectory, it is incredibly exciting to see this venture reach the construction stage,” Duke athletic director Nina King said in the release. “Having the opportunity to enhance both our student-athlete experience from a developmental perspective as well as the gameday environment for our fans with this multi-phase initiative is especially rewarding.”
