Renovations
In 1975, a three-year renovation process began which saw a new infield, scoreboard, batting cages, fencing, bleachers, and press box installed. A clubhouse adjoining the Matador dugout was constructed in 1981. A new infield was installed in 1993, followed by a new scoreboard and video replay screen over the right field fence in 1996.[1]
In 2017, New Renovation plans were revealed with a total cost of $15 Million. The stadium will expand its capacity and overhaul its entire look including: new concession stands, new entry way honoring the Matador's Baseball History, an expanded hitting facility, state of the art team building, stair back seating with premium areas, new restrooms, children's play area, and grass berm seating. via http://gomatadors.com/news/2017/1/30/csun-athletics-unveils-baseball-stadium-master-plan.aspx?path=baseball
