Iowa Preps $5.8M Renovation of Duane Banks Field
Iowa baseball's 50-year-old Duane Banks Field is ready for another round of renovations.
The Hawkeyes' home field in Iowa City will undergo a second, $5.8 million round of improvements that will include a new press box and additional seating. The Iowa Board of Regents approved the renovation plans on Thursday, June 12.
The university built a new clubhouse in 2024 for more than $5 million as part of the project's first phase. Duane Banks Field sits between Kinnick Stadium and Carver-Hawkeye Arena on the UI campus's west side.
The all-turf, 3,000-seat stadium was named after Iowa's winningest coach in 2001. Banks coached the Hawkeyes for nearly 30 years, from 1970-1997.
