Tal Anderson Field

Tal Anderson Field is a baseball stadium in Omaha, Nebraska, that seats 1,500 people. It broke ground in 2019 and was ready for the Spring of 2021 season. The field is named for former UNO baseball standout and long-time donor/supporter Tal Anderson who owned Baxter Auto Group. The field will be the first on-campus home for the Omaha baseball team in school history. Prior to its construction, the team played at numerous high school and municipal facilities around Omaha.

The field will provide fixed seating for 1,500 fans as well as berm seating on each baseline for additional fans. The field will be a state-of-the art artificial surface to extend the Mavericks' playing season. The facility also will include a 34 foot by 25 foot video board in the outfield. The raised concourse will serve both Anderson Field and Connie Claussen Field, the home of Omaha softball, with premium seating, a press box, concession areas and restrooms.

The Nebraska Philanthropic Trust led the fundraising for the Omaha Baseball/Softball Complex which was done entirely through private donations. Construction of the facility is being managed by the Tetrad Property Group with Kiewit serving as the lead contractor.^[2]
