More Than $2 Million

ORLANDO (UCFKnights.com) – With baseball season set to begin at UCF Friday, the Knights have surpassed $2 million in fund-raising for what will become John Euliano Park next season.
 
Euliano committed $1.5 million to a renovation of the UCF Baseball Complex. That renovation and construction work is slated to begin following the 2017 season. Other donations and funds committed through pledges to purchase new club seats in the stadium have pushed donations to nearly $2.1 million. The fund-raising goal for the entire project is $3.2 million.
 
"An enhanced John Euliano Park will help Coach Greg Lovelady elevate our baseball program to the next level," UCF Vice President and Director of Athletics Dr. Daniel J. White said. "This transformational project is critically important as we strive to become a national power in baseball, while continuing to provide the absolute best experience for our student-athletes and fans. In order for this to become a reality, we will need the help of all Knights, as well as our many friends in the Orlando community who are baseball enthusiasts. Show your support with philanthropic giving and by pledging to purchase club seats over the next five years. Let's join John Euliano and his family in supporting this phenomenal project that will directly impact the success of UCF Baseball for many years to come."
 
There are two ways to support the UCF Baseball stadium expansion. Philanthropic giving and club seat reservations are both important to the continued momentum of the project.
 
One of the major upgrades that John Euliano Park will feature when it opens for the 2018 college baseball season is a brand-new home plate tower including 300 club seats. Seats in the premium club at John Euliano Park will include a private entrance, private restrooms, complimentary snacks and non-alcoholic beverages, access to other food and alcoholic beverages for purchase and access to preferred parking.
 
Reserved seating in the club will cost $200 per seat, plus a $1,050 donation per year. Open-access seating will be $200 per seat, plus an $800 donation per year. Club seat reservations are made through five-year commitments.
