Florida Ballpark has been renamed Condron Ballpark in honor of Gary Condron, a former UF graduate and the largest single financial donor in Gator Boosters history.

Florida will reveal the name change prior to Friday’s 6:30 p.m. contest with No. 1-ranked Tennessee.

The $65-million ballpark, which features a 360-degree concourse, opened prior to the 2021 season and brought shade to the fans, grass berms and improved concession options.

Since moving from Alfred A. McKethan Stadium to what is now known as Condron Ballpark, the Gators have a 43-14 record at home.

Condron's name should be familiar to Florida fans. UF's indoor practice facility, located on SW 2nd Avenue, officially bears the name of Gary Condron Indoor Practice Facility.

A former walk-on for the Florida baseball team, Condron has donated approximately $22.5 million to the university for a variety of projects, according to the University Athletic Association.

I’m most intrigued to see how Burns pitches. He’s had two bad outings in a row after being dominant all year. If he has a 3rd, I’ll be worried. Either he’s been scouted and needs to adjust or maybe he’s hitting a freshman wall. I hope he comes out and dominates so we can just write off his last 2 as aberrations.

Florida has an excellent lineup, so this is a good test.

I’m also curious about Burns tonight. From Coach V’s presser yesterday, he seemed to think it was much more mental than physical. There’s undoubtedly a scouting report on him so the question is how will he adjust. Perhaps it is a freshman wall of sorts. If so, it’s better he work his way through it now than later. Hope he makes it through more innings tonight. I think this will be the most talented lineup our starters face up to this point. If we can make it to their bullpen early, our lineup should be able to do damage. The Gators had to use a lot of their bullpen to beat Stetson in the midweek, so we may be able to use this to our advantage this weekend.

I’m curious about tomorrow night, but will save it until later. One game at a time.

Well scouted at this point. The batters have learned to lay off the nasty slider which oftentimes ends up out of the zone. Could also be hitting the freshman wall. We'll see if he can make an adjustment for tonight.
