Wildcat Wednesday - Home Opener at Hi Corbett

Follow Dave Heeke on Twitter | Sign Up for the Wildcat Wednesday
Hi Corbett Field, the home of Arizona Baseball, will host its first games of the season this weekend when the West Virginia Mountaineers come to Tucson. The Wildcats opened the season by winning three of their four games at the MLB Desert Invitational in Scottsdale over the weekend, including a thrilling 3-1 win over #2 Tennessee on opening day. Our strong play in the nationally-televised event earned some accolades from the Pac-12 Conference as TJ Nichols was named Pac-12 Pitcher of the Week.
Our gameday atmosphere at Hi Corbett is among the best in the nation, and we can't wait to welcome the Wildcat Family to another season of elite college baseball action in Tucson. This weekend's three-game series begins at 6 p.m. (MST) on Friday, Feb. 24. Don't wait to get your tickets. You can purchase your seats now by clicking here or dialing 621-2287. We can't wait to see you at the ballpark this weekend!
RENEWAL REMINDER
Part of our athletic department's legacy of excellence is the tremendous support of the Wildcat Family. One of our Arizona Advantages is red and blue filling the stands of our venues and creating a first-class environment for our Wildcats to compete in. Many of our programs are conference and national leaders in attendance, and that is a credit to you all.
We launched season ticket renewals for the 2023-24 seasons on the first of the month, and we'd like to remind fans that purchasing tickets is one of the foundational ways to support the 500 student-athletes from all our programs as they develop into academic, athletic and life champions. All fans have the option to make payment in full or utilize a payment plan. If you opt-in to a payment plan, equal payments of the remaining balance will be auto-charged to the card on file on the first day of renewal followed by March 1, April 1 and May 1.
Thank you for everything you do to support our student-athletes who proudly represent the University of Arizona in competition, the classroom and community. Bear Down and Go Cats!
