The University of Iowa baseball team has announced a facility upgrade to Duane Banks Field.
UI officials say the renovations will significantly improve the game day experience at Banks Field with renovations to the press box, bleachers, concourse, dugouts and stadium entrance. The upgrades will increase stadium seating capacity, provide improved ADA access and seating, and enhance the fan experience with premium seating opportunities, additional concessions, and restrooms.
Even with recent improvements, Banks Field remains the second-oldest facility in the Big Ten. It was built in 1974.
Fans can make a tax-deductible gift of any amount to support the revitalization of Iowa Baseball Stadium and Duane Banks Field. A $1,000 contribution will get your name on a seat in the revitalized facility, while donors who give $10,000 will receive recognition on a donor wall.
The renovations mark the biggest change to Banks Field since 2002, when former Hawkeye and Major Leaguer Cal Eldred donated $245,000 to fund the installation of lights.
The complex at Banks Field currently features locker rooms for both teams and umpires and a press box that was initially built in 1989 and renovated in 2002.
