PROVO, Utah – Miller Park, home of BYU baseball and softball, is getting a facelift as the Cougars look to improve fan access and add indoor batting cages.
The BYU athletics department announced the upgrades on Thursday, February 6. The improvements include six indoor batting cages for the baseball and softball teams. The fan experience will also be upgraded with a VIP hosting area and 200 additional field-level seats east of the Cougars bullpen.
“The new hitting facility is an important addition for our baseball and softball programs,” said BYU Director of Athletics Tom Holmoe. “This facility will enhance both programs and provide new opportunities for our student-athletes to improve and be successful. We would like to express our appreciation to the BYU Board of Trustees, the central administration, and the donors who helped make this project a reality.”

“The facility is a major commitment to our program,” said BYU baseball head coach Trent Pratt. “It will enhance recruiting, the student-athlete experience, and the development of our players. We want to thank the BYU administration and donors who made the project possible.”
The 6,000-square-foot facility will be located along the third base line, between the current stands and the baseball bullpen.
“We are grateful to all those who worked together to make the new hitting facility a reality,” said BYU softball head coach Gordon Eakin. “It will provide important resources to further develop our student-athletes and better prepare them to achieve their goals.”

Miller Park has been home to BYU baseball and softball since it opened in 2001. Designed as an innovative and unique baseball-softball back-to-back complex, baseball plays on Larry H. Miller Field facing the east, while softball plays on Gail Miller Field facing west. The Miller family, owners of the Larry H. Miller Company with its diversified portfolio of businesses and investments, were the major donors of the original facility.
The new facility was designed by CORE Architecture of Pleasant Grove with the project construction by Big D Construction of Salt Lake City.
