- A ribbon-cutting on Jan. 28 unveiled Charlie Monfort Field at America First Ballpark, ending roughly 30 years of off-campus home games for the Utes.
- Utah’s first game at the new venue is scheduled for March 6 against Grand Canyon University.
- Ground broken in August 2024 led to completion in about 18 months, with officials saying the project finished on time and on budget.
- The roughly $35 million project carries Charlie Monfort’s name after a $10 million gift, with America First Credit Union as the stadium naming sponsor.
- Player facilities include a locker room, meeting and weight rooms, a lounge and indoor batting and pitching cages, with seating for about 1,200 plus a berm to roughly 3,000; coaches expect hitter-friendly play, and athletics leaders plan high school and youth events.
