Jack Coombs Field might be getting some upgrades over the coming months.

Duke baseball coach Chris Pollard shared a photo of the Blue Devils’ stadium over the weekend with renovations clearly being done down the first-base line.

“It’s started,” Pollard wrote on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. “Big things coming to ‘The Jack’!!!”

Jack Coombs Field has been open since 1931, and with the last round of renovations done in 2011, any changes to The Jack seemed a little overdue. However, this past postseason might have been the last straw for the athletic program.

The Blue Devils remained in the mix for one of the 16 regional hosting seeds all year, and while a lackluster end to the regular season seemed to knock them out of contention, a run to the ACC Tournament title seemed to throw Pollard’s team back to the forefront.

Instead, when the 16 host locations were announced later that day, the Blue Devils were left on the outside looking in. Fans and national analysts felt the decision came partly because of Duke’s resources.

Duke fans will need to wait until 2025 to see the new-look ballpark in person, but it seems like some tweaks are coming this fall.
