Husky Ballpark is a college baseball park in the Northwestern United States, located on the campus of the University of Washington in Seattle. Opened 26 years ago in 1998, it is the home field of the Washington Huskies of the Pac-12 conference. The playing field was renamed for donor Herb Chaffey in May 2009.[2][3]
Husky Ballpark is located about 600 yards (550 m) north of Husky Stadium; the ballpark's left field wall borders wetlands adjacent to Union Bay. The UW's natural grass soccer stadium is adjacent to the north.
A new concrete grandstand was constructed after the 2013 season and opened on March 21, 2014,[4] with an approximate seating capacity of 2,500.[5] It formerly seated 1,500 in temporary bleachers.
