NEW: UNA baseball team to play Army at Toyota Field

The University of North Alabama will play another home baseball game at Toyota Field this upcoming season. This time, the Lions will host Army in a 3-game series.

Here are the details:

UNA takes on Army at Toyota Field

The Army Black Knights come to Toyota Field for three first time in this 3-game series against UNA. And this series — scheduled for Feb. 14-16 — will be the last baseball game played on the field’s current surface.

The three-game weekend will mark the final games before the field is converted to a softball diamond for the Rocket City Softball Showcase slated to begin a mere three days later Wednesday, February 19.

Tickets start at $10 and go on sale Oct. 18.

Lions to play at Toyota Field for the 3rd time

The Lions return to Toyota Field for the third time in as many seasons. In 2023, the Lions visited for a matchup against the Auburn Tigers.

This past season, a weekend Atlantic Sun Conference series against Kennesaw State was moved to Toyota Field due to the threat of inclement weather in Florence, Ala. The Lions finished the 2024 campaign with a 10-19-1 conference record (18-35-1 overall).

“We always appreciate the hospitality from the Rocket City Trash Pandas. Toyota Field is a beautiful ballpark with a top-of-the-line playing surface. We are looking forward to having the opportunity to compete against Army.

Playing against an opponent that has qualified for the last six NCAA regionals will be a great test to start our 2025 schedule. I’m excited to see the community get behind this event for a memorable opening weekend.”
