Changes are coming for the Long Beach City College baseball program, as the school is set to embark on a complete renovation of its baseball facility over the next few years.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, LBCC announced plans to suspend their baseball program<\/a> while undergoing a complete overhaul of their on-campus field, turning it into a \u201cstate-of-the-art\u201d complex upon the program\u2019s return.<\/p>\n

According to LBCC Athletic Director Kal Stewart, the renovation project is expected to cost between $18-19 million. Stewart also said that construction will begin in early 2027, with completion anticipated in fall of 2028 or the spring of 2029.<\/p>\n

If the latter completion date proves correct, that would mean a three-year disruption to LBCC\u2019s baseball program, beyond the two years originally outlined in the college\u2019s initial press release.<\/p>\n

According to Stewart, the option to rent out other fields was considered, but the college determined that a temporary suspension of the program would be the best path forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe issue was not identifying a field,\u201d Stewart said. \u201cThe challenge was operating an entire baseball program for an anticipated two-to-three-year period under temporary conditions. That includes practices, competitions, transportation, equipment management, scheduling, supervision, recruiting, compliance, and student support. After evaluating those factors collectively, the college determined that temporarily suspending competition while strategically reinvesting in the future of the program better serves our student-athletes and the long-term future of LBCC Baseball.\u201d<\/p>\n
