Boise State plans to build a baseball field for its athletic department north of the intersection of Beacon Street and Grant Avenue.

Boise State already owns the land.

The Idaho Statesman reports, the location is roughly diagonal across Beacon from the Albertsons store that is being rebuilt.

The baseball field, which would accommodate a Broncos baseball program expected to begin play in spring 2020, would have seating near the minimum for Division I baseball.

Boise State President Bob Kustra hopes to begin construction in the spring.

Boise State announced late last month it was withdrawing from the effort to build a Downtown Boise baseball stadium that would house the Boise Hawks, minor-league soccer team and Boise State baseball. That effort has continued without the Broncos.
