The write-up on the NCAA site isn't very spectacular, but it is complimentary.

HAYMARKET PARK

Comfort is key when attending baseball games, especially in the dog days of summer. Nebraska addressed that when it opened Haymarket Park, the first college baseball stadium to use a heating and cooling system on the premises year-round.

The Huskers' home field opened in 2002 and fits approximately 8,000 visitors between its 4,500 permanent seats and ample grass field seating areas beyond the foul poles. Among the family-friendly accomodations located at the park include a children's playground and plenty of concession stand options. No matter where you sit or walk around the stadium, the game is always in view and you feel on top of the action.

If it sounds like Haymarket Park has a minor league stadium vibe, that's because it does. The stadium also plays host to the Lincoln Saltdogs, of the Independent League. When construction first began, features from other minor league stadiums like Oklahoma City's Bricktown Ballpark were incorporated. That can be seen in Haymarket Park's brick exterior.
