Carolina Athletics Announces Boshamer Improvement Project
June 3, 2016 | Baseball
"I am and have always been proud to be a Tar Heel, so when I was presented with the opportunity to support the new Boshamer project, it was a no-brainer for me," Chicago Cubs pitcher Adam Warren, who played at UNC from 2006-09, said. "Carolina baseball is one of the premier programs in the nation and the players and coaches deserve top-notch facilities to go along with the product they are putting on the field. I am excited to see this project help lead to many more trips to Omaha and a national championship."
Highlights of the project include the addition of multi-use space that can serve as a visitor's locker room, provide programming space during regular season and postseason play, such as a second locker room, team meeting and study areas, as well as new locker room space for umpires and former players who choose to workout in Chapel Hill during the offseason.
"The three years I spent at Carolina helped turn me into the player and man I am today," Seattle Mariners Gold Glove third baseman Kyle Seager, a Tar Heel standout from 2007-09, said. "Having a chance to practice and play in the newly renovated Boshamer Stadium was a big part of my UNC experience, and I am excited to have the opportunity to help improve the Carolina baseball experience for Tar Heels who will compete for championships in the future."
"I am especially grateful to our former players - including lead donor Vaughn Bryson - and the tremendous supporters of Carolina baseball for their funding of this project," Carolina head coach Mike Fox said. "This improvement will ensure that Boshamer Stadium continues to be one of the nation's finest facilities for college baseball. I am humbled by the generosity of all those who have helped make this project a reality. Their continued support of the program is greatly appreciated.”
