University of San Diego's (USD) ballpark, which is home to Division I baseball team the Toreros, has undergone a US$13.8m (£8.6m, 10.3m euro) renovation.

Led by specialist sports architects Populous, the newly renovated Fowler Park will seat 1,700 with the ability to expand to 3,000 for NCAA playoff events.

The stadium renovation included the creation of five levels - an entry level with plaza space, a suite and press level, the main concourse, the Torero Zone and the team clubhouse.

The new entry plaza was designed in the 16th Century Spanish Renaissance style of the existing architecture on campus.

The venue also includes a renovated playing field, new home and visitor dugouts and renovated batting and practice tunnels.

In addition, Fowler Park will debut a 6,800sq ft (631.7sq m) team clubhouse that includes a reception, coaches offices, a player locker room, equipment room, lounge space and a training room.

Ky Snyder, executive director of athletics at USD, said: "Fowler Park brings a premium college baseball venue to San Diego for the first time, which is an integral step for the university in our continued quest for athletic excellence.

"This ballpark is something that everyone involved can be proud of and is sure to be one of the premier facilities in college baseball for years to come."
