Texas baseball stadium gets $13 million name
AUSTIN, TX — The University of Texas
sold the naming rights to its baseball stadium to University Federal Credit
Union for $13.1 million on Wednesday.
The school said the money will be used
to help finance major renovations to the 30-year-old ballpark, which will be
called UFCU Disch-Falk Field starting Aug. 1, 2006. UFCU, an Austin-based
credit union, will spread out the payments over 15 years, with an initial
gift of $1.5 million.
The Longhorns, who won the College
World Series in June with a two-game sweep of Florida, have been among the
NCAA Division I attendance leaders in each of the last seven years. The
program has also been one of the most successful in NCAA history, reaching
the CWS a record 32 times and its six national titles are second only to
Southern California's 12.
Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds
said additional seats, new locker rooms and sound system, and a remodeled
concourse are among the upgrades planned in the overhaul of the stadium,
currently called Disch-Falk Field, in honor of former Longhorns coaches
Billy Disch and Bibb Falk. The renovations are expected to begin after the
baseball season next spring.
