About Cliff Hagan Stadium

Cliff Hagan Stadium, once the home of the Kentucky Wildcats baseball program, stood on the University of Kentucky campus at 700 Sports Center Drive in Lexington, KY. Renamed Shively Field in 1993 and later replaced by Kentucky Proud Park in 2019, the venue was demolished in 2023 to make way for UK’s indoor track and field complex. While the site is no longer used for baseball, the history remains a key part of UK baseball heritage. This page provides historical context, seating information as it was configured, and practical guidance for fans visiting the campus area, including parking, transit, and nearby hotel and dining options that have served visiting teams and fans over the years.

Note: For current Kentucky baseball facilities and schedules, we point readers to Kentucky Proud Park, the on-campus facility opened in 2019 on adjacent grounds. If you’re planning a trip to Lexington for college baseball or campus events, we’ve got you covered with easy, no-fuss guidance on getting there, where to park, and where to stay nearby.

Historic Cliff Hagan Stadium featured seating along the 1st and 3rd base lines and behind home plate, with upgrades such as a the best available price deck added in 2007. The venue had a total capacity around 3,000 after renovations, with 2,000 chair-back seats and additional seating options. Free game-day parking was available in C-8 behind right field or in the E-lot, with Parking Structure #7 used during peak times. UK Campus Buses served the area via Blue/White/Green/Yellow routes, and LexTran offered a Free City Transit program for UK staff and students with a valid UK ID. Nearby hotels in downtown Lexington included Lexington Marriott City Center, Residence Inn Lexington City Center, Hilton Lexington Downtown, Hyatt Regency Lexington, and 21c Museum Hotel Lexington. For fans seeking current UK baseball experiences, Kentucky Proud Park now serves as the on-campus home for Wildcats baseball. If you’re planning a visit to Lexington for a game or campus event, consider these practical options for parking, transport, and nearby lodging and dining that have historically supported visiting teams and fans.
