Overview
editThe idea for a permanent Varsity Blues baseball facility was floated by the University of Toronto in 2004, and following a fundraising campaign, the UTSC Field was opened in 2007 with a seating capacity of 150 people.[3][1]
It was named the Dan Lang Field in 2010 in honour of long-standing Varsity Blues baseball coach Dan Lang, who also played a role in the field's construction, following his retirement.[3] It is located on the southern end of the Scarborough campus in the Highland Creek valley area, near other outdoor athletic facilities including soccer fields and tennis and beach volleyball courts.[4]
In addition to serving as the practice field for the Varsity Blues, the field is also used by the Ontario Blue Jays baseball club in the Canadian Premier Baseball League.[5]
