Baseball stadium open to fans for tours, autographs

Sunday afternoon will be the final chance to get an up-close look at the new state-of-the-art home of Horned Frog baseball before its Feb. 2 season opener against Texas-Arlington. Lupton Stadium and Williams-Reilly Field will be open to the public, available for tours, seat selection for season tickets, an intrasquad scrimmage and autograph session. Admission to the open house is free.

Beginning at 2 p.m., Horned Frog coaches and players will be on hand to greet fans and show off their new home, which ranks second only to The Ballpark in Arlington as the premier baseball facility in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Fans will have the chance to select which seats they wish to purchase to see teams like national powers Texas Tech and BYU and Conference USA programs Houston, Tulane, East Carolina, Louisville and South Florida.

At 3 p.m., fans can watch preseason all-American Terry Trofholz and the rest of the Horned Frogs as they go through one of their final intrasquad scrimmages.

The afternoon will conclude with an opportunity for fans to meet their favorite Horned Frog players. The “Meet the Frogs” session will begin at about 4 p.m. Season and individual-game tickets for the entire 30-game slate at Lupton Stadium are on sale now.
