Changes to Disch-Falkedit
2006-2008 Renovationedit
The new exterior facade after renovation
In July 2005, the University announced an $18 million renovation project for Disch-Falk Field. Construction began in late 2006. The Longhorns played their 2007 season at the stadium during the renovation, although a few early season games and the NCAA Regional tournament were moved to the nearby Dell Diamond. Completed for the 2008 season, the renovated Disch-Falk field was designed by architectural firm DLR Group. The renovations included:
107 premium seats added increasing capacity to 6,756
17 new suites
lowering of the seating bowl six feet to field level
Before the 2019 season the left field videoboard was completely replaced.[7] The right field scoreboard was installed before the 2012 season.
Namingedit
October 12, 2005, the University announced a $13.1 million gift from University Federal Credit Union as the major gift in the campaign to finance the renovation of the ballpark. In connection with this gift, the name of the stadium changed to UFCU Disch–Falk Field on August 1, 2006.[8]
