Home stadiums

Siebert Field

Siebert Field is the home baseball park for the Golden Gophers. The Old Siebert Field hosted its first game on April 23, 1971 – a 2–1 Gopher victory over Creighton. On June 11, 2012, Old Siebert Field was demolished to begin construction on the new Seibert Field. The new Siebert Field hosted its first game on April 5, 2013, which the Gophers won 7–0 over Ohio State.

U.S. Bank Stadium

U.S. Bank Stadium is the alternate stadium for the Golden Gophers. First used for baseball in 2017, it is primarily used for February and March games, including non-conference home games including a major pre-conference season tournament featuring top teams from major conferences. Like its predecessor, the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, on the same site, the indoor venue allowed the team to play home games when most cold-weather teams had to play road games, and allows for additional home games for the team, a huge advantage in the Big Ten conference. Roughly 40% of home games are played at U. S. Bank Stadium.
