A NEW HOME IN 2021 On Nov. 21, 2019, Louisiana Tech officials presented their vision for the future of Bulldog and Lady Techster baseball, softball and soccer. The new home for baseball will remain at its traditional location -- the corner of Tech Drive and West Alabama -- and will include an indoor practice facility. The estimated capacity is 2,500 with all chairback seats, as well as right-field berm seating that students reccomended. “The entire landscape of our athletic facilities is being taken to an entirely new level. The same can be said for our recruitment and development of our current and future student athletes. We are so thankful to everyone that worked so diligently and tirelessly to make this a possibility,” head coach Lane Burroughs said. “It has been a long process since that awful night in April, but our people have stood firm and patiently worked every day to see us come out better than before. Our loyalty, patience and persistence will allow us to reap benefits in the future. It’s a great day to be a Bulldog and Lady Techster.” Construction on the new facilities for baseball, softball, and soccer began after January 1, 2020. The Bulldogs practiced for the first time in their new facility on Feb. 9. The facility will include four luxury suites, a spacious press box, the Origin Bank Baseball Complex and hitting facility, and coaches’ offices as well as other enhancements to Tech’s new facility. LA Tech played its first home game in the facility on Feb. 26, 2021, in a 9-2 win over Southern. While fans were not allowed into the stadium due to the fire marshall’s orders, many members of the Louisiana Tech Baseball fan base watched the game beyond the wall in left field.

APRIL 25, 2019 In the early morning hours of Thursday, April 25, 2019, an EF3 tornado ravaged the city of Ruston, Louisiana, and the campus of Louisiana Tech. Two residents of Ruston lost their lives, while Louisiana Tech’s baseball facility (J.C. Love Field at Pat Patterson Park), affectionately named the “Love Shack” was destroyed, along with Tech’s softball, soccer and tennis complexes. Tech’s players and coaches were forced to clean out their locker rooms and offices, relocating to nearby Ruston High School’s facilities for the remainder of the 2019 season. Tech junior outfielder Seth White’s father, Toby, is the head coach for the Ruston High Bearkats, who allowed Tech to play its final home series of the year vs. WKU at Ruston High School, as well as practice at the field for the duration of the 2020 season. Fundraising efforts after the storm collected incredible amounts for not only the Tech athletic programs, but also for the university and surrounding community. When the Bulldogs played at Mississippi State in 2019, the host Bulldogs waived admission and accepted donations throughout the game - totalling just over $14,000. Similar fundraising efforts were conducted by neighboring programs in Northwestern State, Rice and LSU. With the new complex set to be built over the next year, Bulldogs were without a true home facility for the 2020 season. Despite not allowing fans on opening day, the new Love Shack will be ready for game use in Tech’s opening series against Southern beginning on Feb. 26. Though he didn’t know it at the time, Hunter Wells hit a walk-off home run in the ‘Dogs final at-bat inside the Love Shack. The now- redshirt senior sent a solo shot over the center field wall to defeat Little Rock 5-4.
