Walsh University announced today that it has received a leadership gift from alumni Ben and Michelle Biery to revitalize the Biery Family Baseball Stadium and adjacent Tim Mead Field.
The contribution, described as one of the largest ever directed to Walsh athletics, will fund a synthetic turf infield, updated backstop and netting, outfield netting, a state‑of‑the‑art scoreboard, and enhancements to batting cages, the press box, dugouts and seating.
What the Upgrade Entails
The planned improvements are designed to give the program a modern, competitive edge while providing a better experience for student‑athletes and fans alike.
A Legacy in the Making
Ben Biery, a former Walsh All‑American catcher, said the project reflects a commitment to investing in the future of the program and its student‑athletes.
The university plans a groundbreaking ceremony in late summer, followed by a formal dedication event in the fall, marking the next chapter for the program.
Looking Ahead
Dr. Eric Constant, vice president for philanthropy at Walsh, noted that additional funding and sponsorship opportunities remain open, offering recognition and naming rights for donors.
With these enhancements, Walsh hopes to attract top talent and deepen community engagement around its baseball program.
