太阳城集团博彩 垒球 和 棒球 teams will be playing in new facilities in 2023.
A two-phase project will relocate the 垒球 field from the east side of the 这些城市的校园 to the west side of campus near the current 棒球 field. The new ballfield complex will include restrooms, 让步, batting practice cages 和 press boxes.
“I couldn’t be more excited about this project! I know this will be great for the college, our program 和 for the community,塔拉·雷奥斯说, 垒球总教练.
“The new facility will allow for our student-athletes to train 和 compete at a high level while developing their skills to continue their careers at a four-year institution,阿尼·查维拉说, BHC体育主管.
The $11 million project kicked off July 13 with demolishing 和 grading the current 棒球 site.
The first phase includes installing artificial turf on both fields along with illuminated turfed bullpens 和 illuminated batting practice cages. It’s scheduled to be completed in Spring 2023 in time for both teams to compete on the new playing surfaces.
The second phase will begin after the 棒球 和 垒球 seasons end in Spring 2023. This phase includes press boxes at each field 和 a separate structure that will house restrooms 和 a concession booth. It’s scheduled to be completed in Fall 2023.
“This complex will greatly enhance our students’ experience 和 allow us to bring in our community for a variety of events while showcasing our campus 和 facilities,查维拉说.

The BHC 垒球 和 棒球 fields have been in their current locations since 1971. The last renovation of the two fields was the addition of new scoreboards in 2008.
In addition to upgrading the college’s athletic facilities, relocating the 垒球 field also will make room for a new Career 和 Technical Education (CTE) building that is part of the college’s Facilities Master Plan.
