Augusta Athletics Announces Baseball Stadium Project – Augusta University
Augusta, GA – Augusta University Athletics has announced the construction of a new baseball stadium at Jaguar Field. The project, set to be completed in time for the 2025 season, is part of a total Augusta University athletic facility overhaul.
The new stadium will feature 420 seats, with well over half of those being comfortable chairbacks. Additionally, the design includes dedicated handicapped seating to ensure accessibility for all spectators.
Key highlights of the project include the construction of a state-of-the-art press box at the top of the stadium and the expansion of the current concessions stand area to improve service and convenience for fans. An enhanced Champions Walk will serve as a welcoming focal point for both the baseball and softball fields.
“It’s an exciting time for Jaguar Baseball,” said Head Baseball Coach Chris Howell. “The construction of the bleachers and scorebaord will impact our game day experience for the players and fans. We appreciate the support from our donors and leadership at AU. The projects will catch us up to the facility curve with other institutions and push us to the next step as a program.”
The new stadium will be unveiled in conjunction with the new LED baseball scoreboard for Jaguar Field. The Electromech scoreboard will have a video display capable of showing varying content. This content can be any combination of live video, instant replays, statistics and game information, graphics and animations, or sponsorship messaging. The stadium and scoreboard will not only improve the experience of student-athletes but also improve the fan experience at Jaguar Field.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – Broadway Baptist Church hosted a debate Monday featuring the three candidates seeking to become Augusta’s next mayor.
Candidates Lori Myles, Steven Kendrick and Eric Gaines shared their goals and visions for the city as they campaigned for voters’ support ahead of the upcoming election.
“We need to focus on what the community needs. We’ve got to start being practical in Augusta-Richmond County,” Gaines said.
“I want to create better relationships with both our state and federal officials, so that our city can learn how to bring some of the dollars we need home. I hope I was able to provide enough information for people to choose me as the person to lead the city,” Kendrick said.
“I want them to go out and touch the masses and show that there is a new paradigm shift coming to Augusta. All of us are invested,” Dr. Myles said.
The primary election is scheduled for May 19. In addition to the mayoral race, voters will also decide several other contests, including five Augusta Commission seats.
