Toyota Field Opens New Visitors Clubhouse

Things at Toyota Field just got a lot nicer… for the visiting team! The Trash Pandas just cut the ribbon on the new visiting clubhouse at Toyota Field.

The new visiting clubhouse is part of keeping the stadium in compliance with MLB standards. But it also helps position Toyota Field to host major events, like the SEC Softball Tournament in 2027.
