Hawks Field
From 1979 through 2001, the Cornhuskers played at Buck Beltzer Stadium where they went 527–137. Buck Beltzer seated 1,500 and had an AstroTurf infield and grass outfield. The stadium was shoehorned into a very tight space; right field was adjacent to the south end zone of Memorial Stadium, and first base was across a frontage road from an overpass leading to Interstate 180. The final games at Buck Beltzer were on June 1-2, 2001, when the Cornhuskers swept Rice to win an NCAA Super Regional and advance to the College World Series for the first time.
On July 30, 1999 the university announced plans for Haymarket Park which includes Hawks Field, and a softball field. Hawks Field is named for one of the primary donor families that contributed to the construction of the baseball stadium and Haymarket Park is named because of its location in Lincoln's historic Haymarket District. The Huskers are 251-88-1 (.740) since opening the park on March 5, 2002 with a 23-1 win over Nebraska-Kearney. Nebraska is 12-0 all-time in home openers at Hawks Field continuing their streak of 35 home openers dating back to the 1979 season.
