Story Links
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – The NCAA announced today that Charlottesville, Va., has been selected as one of eight Super Regional host sites for the 2010 NCAA Division I Baseball Championship. Virginia will play host to Oklahoma in a best-of-three series, which will run June 12-14 at UVa’s Davenport Field. The teams will play at 3 p.m. Saturday, 4 p.m. Sunday and 1 or 7 p.m. Monday (if necessary).
All three games also will be televised on the ESPN family of networks. The Saturday game will be broadcast on ESPNU, the Sunday contest on ESPN and the Monday game on ESPN2 (if necessary).
Virginia (50-12) will serve as a Super Regional host site for the first time. The winner of the Super Regional will advance to the College World Series.
Super Regional all-session ticket books may be purchased in person at the Virginia Athletics Ticket Office in Bryant Hall, by calling the Ticket Office at (800) 542-8821 or logging on to VirginiaSports.com. The Virginia Athletics Ticket Office is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Super Regional all-session ticket books may be purchased for $24 for General Admission seating. Super Regional Reserved ticket books are sold out. As of 8 a.m. on Tuesday, June 8, approximately 950 general admission all-session ticket books remained to be sold.
After several expansions this season, Davenport Field now will seat 4,801 for postseason play.
Customers may pick up their tickets at the Virginia Athletics Ticket Office in Bryant Hall through Friday or at Davenport Field Will Call on game day beginning two hours prior to first pitch.
If available, single-game tickets for the Super Regional will go on sale to the public on Saturday (June 12). Single-game tickets will be $16 for Reserved and $12 for General Admission, with $4 per ticket upgrades available from General Admission to Reserved on game day.
All parking will be paid parking for the entire postseason. Parking on game day will be $5.
Because of the success of the Virginia baseball team this season and increased ticket demand, the Super Regional games at Davenport Field are expected to sell out. Fans are strongly encouraged to purchase tickets in advance, as it is the only way to guarantee they will be able to attend all tournament games.
All sections of the grandstand (Sec. 101-109) and the first base bleachers (Sec. A-F) are considered Reserved seating for the entire NCAA Tournament. General Admission seating is located on the grassy hillside down the left-field line and in the bleachers beyond the outfield wall in both left and right field. Standing room is also available for General Admission ticket buyers.
