For nearly three decades, Utah Baseball played its home games at Smith’s Ballpark, sharing the field with the Triple-A Salt Lake Bees. When the Bees moved to a new facility in 2025, it created the opportunity for the Utes to build a dedicated home on their own campus.

Charlie Monfort Field at America First Ballpark is a new, $39 million stadium built on the site of the team’s former practice field, bringing the entire program under one roof for the first time. With 1,200 chairback seats plus a grass berm in the outfield, the ballpark is equipped to welcome up to 3,000 fans and features a dedicated pitching lab, indoor hitting tunnels, and modern training spaces.

Welcome to Facility Spotlight, a new series where we'll take a close look at the design and engineering behind key capital projects in college athletics, highlighting the leaders and partners who turn these ambitious visions into reality.

This is an ultimate example of cooperation, which is one of the reasons why it's so great to be at the University of Utah. We're so grateful to finally be here at this moment and for this group (of student-athletes) to have this opportunity.
