Miller Park
Miller Park, a unique, combined baseball-softball facility, is the home to BYU baseball and softball. Baseball plays on Larry H. Miller Field, while softball calls Gail Miller Field, a back-to-back mirror image of the pre-existing baseball field, home. It is the first combined facility of its kind.
Larry H. Miller Field at Miller Park was featured in February of the 2002 Great Parks Calendar provided by Baseball America. It was also among the featured facilities in the October 2001 Athletics Administration magazine.
There are separate locker rooms for visitors and Cougar clubhouses for both softball and baseball. The complex includes concession stands, a memorabilia mezzanine, handicapped seating, an elevator, an umpire room, a hosting facility, an equipment room, training room, double-wide indoor batting cages and coaches' offices. Both fields are lighted. The softball scoreboard is located in right field, while the baseball scoreboard, donated by Bill and Linda Perry, is located in left field. The spire-accented, tensile roof is constructed from a teflon fabric pulled taut by cables, similar to the design on the Denver International Airport. The baseball outfield fences are 400 feet in center, 385 feet in the power alleys and 345 feet down the lines. The softball field dimensions are 210 feet down the left and right field lines and 220 feet in centerfield.
