Prior to the 2024 season, UTRGV launched the home plate club, a premium area that includes mesh seats, a drink rail, and wait service right behind home plate. Due to overwhelming demand, UTRGV is doubling the size of the home plate club for the 2025 season.
UTRGV also put in brand new walls around the stadium before the 2024 season, including new padding all around the field and a new brick backstop. UTRGV also replaced all of the chairback seats.
Prior to the 2023 season, UTRGV unveiled an upgraded home clubhouse:

Other upgrades to the stadium in 2020 included new padding on the outfield walls with an enhanced way of promoting sponsors, stairs in the stands that were painted orange, and a new covered batting cage for the student-athletes.
A new scoreboard and video board were installed in 2016. The video board measures 17.8'x13.6'. In 2015, new installations included a new irrigation system, new dugout fencing, new outfield walls, and new padding behind home plate.
Coach Al and Joann Ogletree Plaza
The Coach Al and Joann Ogletree Plaza opened Feb. 24, 2017 and features a statue of the late legendary head coach Al Ogletree and his late wife of 62 years, Joann.
Ogletree Plaza honors Ogletree, known affectionately by all as “Coach Al,” and Joann for their commitment, dedication and investment in the baseball program, athletic department, university and community at large.
In 29 years as the head coach of the baseball team from 1968-97, Coach Al compiled a record of 1,084-618-1 (.637) while leading the team to 13 NCAA Regionals and one College World Series. He retired in 1997 with 1,217 career wins, and currently stands as the 35th winningest coach in NCAA history.
In addition to caring for their five children, Joann mentored many young couples while serving as a matriarch for the baseball team.
The Ogletrees founded the Al and Joann Ogletree Scholarship Endowment, which is comprised of over 130 donors. The impact of this remarkable couple will last forever.
