Longhorns to Kick Off 2017 Season on Brand New Surface at UFCU Disch-Falk Field

FieldTurf has been selected to be the surface used for UFCU Disch-Falk Field, the Longhorns’ baseball stadium. This new surface replaces the turf that was installed back in 2008, and which has been the host of countless exciting games over the course of the last eight years. The surface is nearing completion and will be ready in time for the Longhorns 2017 season.

The replacement of UFCU Disch-Falk Field is one of the many recent FieldTurf installations on campus. In the past four years, FieldTurf has installed more than 600,000 square feet of turf on University of Texas campus including the Longhorns’ Football Indoor Practice Facility in 2012, Darrel K Royall – Texas Memorial Stadium in 2013, and Whitaker Intramural fields this past May.

“We are thrilled to have The University of Texas choose FieldTurf once again for their athletic program.” said FieldTurf President Eric Daliere. “The Longhorns will have an innovative high performance field that they can be proud of for many years to come.”

With over 40 game fields currently in use at the NCAA D-1 level for baseball, the Longhorns join an impressive list of baseball teams that play and/or practice on FieldTurf DoublePlay systems such as Oregon State University, Rutgers University, University of Illinois, Kent State University, University of Louisville and the University of Oregon, to name a few.
