The UA athletic director confirms that renovations are in the works for Hi Corbett Field; plus: going deep at Scottsdale Stadium.
Michael Lev SCOTTSDALE — Dave Heeke knows what a postseason tournament can do for a conference and its members.
“Also, it’s a tremendous environment to put the teams and the players in to prepare for that next step, to prepare for the NCAA Tournament, going to a regional. Rather than coming off of a normal weekend series, to be in a competitive tournament atmosphere begins to prepare you for next week.” “This is really fun for me,” said UA catcher Daniel Susac, who had two home runs in the opening game. “I always grew up watching ... the SEC Tournament and all those. I was like, ‘Man, that’d be cool.’ Even last year, we were watching the SEC Tournament after we were done . It’s really cool to have our own.”
Heeke described the clubhouse project as “phase one” of planned improvements at Hi Corbett. He said he and his staff are “in the midst of formulating a larger plan” for the area of the stadium that runs along the first-base line. That project would include “fan amenities,” Heeke said. Early estimates place the cost in the high seven figures.“One of our challenges, quite frankly, is you can’t build a shade or structure large enough in that stadium,” Heeke said.
“I’ve managed here in the Arizona Fall League, and I’ve seen in-the-park home runs to center field because that monster is in play,” Hale said. “You have to hit it over.” “We’re still in it. We’ve still got a ways to go,” Heeke said. “We’ve had a good year, and I look forward to seeing how it culminates here. Hopefully, we’ve got a lot of weekends left.”
