Stadium history

Triton Ballpark in 2012

Triton Ballpark is a 500-seat baseball park located on the eastern half of the UC San Diego campus in La Jolla, California. The stadium was upgraded in 2011 to include lights, allowing the first-ever night game to be played at the venue on January 29, 2011.[1][2] A scoreboard was added in 2013. The Tritons' most recent league championship was won in 2014.[3]

The ballpark underwent a significant renovation prior to the 2015 season. The $6.89 million renovation added a permanent grandstand to replace bleacher seating, restrooms, sunken dugouts, a press box, and a players' clubhouse down the right field line.[4] The clubhouse, named for former UCSD chancellor Marye Anne Fox, includes locker rooms, offices, showers, laundry facilities, a Hall of Fame and a players' lounge.
