Tal Anderson Field is a college baseball park in the central United States, located in Omaha, Nebraska. It is the home field of the University of Nebraska Omaha Mavericks of the Summit League in NCAA Division I. Opened three years ago in 2021 in the Midtown neighborhood, it has a seating capacity of 1,500 for baseball.[1]

The artificial turf playing field is aligned northeast by north, at an approximate elevation of 1,030 feet (315 m) above sea level. UNO's softball venue, Connie Claussen Field, is adjacent to the south, and Baxter Arena is nearby to the east, on the other side of Little Papillion Creek.

Naming
