Baseball season tix question: I'm not currently a season ticket holder. Before I go donating money to LHF to keep my name on the upcoming season ticket waitlist, I'd like some genmeral idea of what season tickets will cost me. I know prices haven't been released for 2026, but do any of y'all recall what you paid for 2025?

Baseball Pricing - University of Texas Athletics

Some notes someone posted on IT from the Texas One Fund event last night with Schloss and the rest of the staff:

-First day of practice was yesterday - too early to tell how the freshmen will do

-Pitching staff should be one of the best in baseball with our returners

-ARod back pounding the ball from both sides of the plate (also was mentioned later on down the thread that he is getting a real look at SS)

-Mendoza has put on weight and has more pop this year

-Schuessler is joining the staff as a GA/assistant

-More offensive bunts this year because of increased team speed - but the coaches are having to teach bunting, as most of our recruits were their team’s offensive star in high school and never had to bunt

-Wins last year more due to team chemistry than talent - team came to play every game. Need to develop that same mindset with this year’s team

-Must maintain mechanics no matter what the count for both hitters and pitchers. Coaches recruited more contact hitters, to cut down strikeouts. Pitchers cannot try and throw a “strike 3” pitch - will ruin their mechanics- must concentrate on throwing the pitch called and getting that to the right location.

-Different recruiting mindset than what we had with Pierce. Coaches pick the kids up on Thursday night, eat with them (a lot of Matt’s dinners), kids come to team meetings and practice, with the coaches interacting with them throughout.

-Coach Schloss reiterated what he tells recruits - if you are scared of the competition at UT, this is not the place for you. This is big boy baseball, and you need to embrace the challenge.

-Looks like another great class for next year.

-You can have more talent, play a perfect game, and still lose - that is part of the magic of baseball, and why the pros play 162.

-Every day they come to DFF and see the sign saying our last national championship was in 2005. Their goal is to add a new sign. Said 2026 would be a nice addition…

-New batter’s eye coming, with a new party zone in right field, similar to the Yeti Yard.

-Getting taller foul poles to the correct height.

-New turf next year, and they will take the “crown” out of the field - making it flatter. Schloss still wants the same “look,” with maybe a larger Bevo logo.

I’ve gotten used to this such that it doesn’t piss me off any longer, but there’s no fucking reason to make it larger, and I may end up restarting my anger at it knowing that they changed turf and didn’t remove it/move it behind home.

I am so bummed I missed this event but I had to go to Denver for work. 
I am very excited for this season and am 100% renewing season tix. Really like what Schloss is doing and his overall approach. Have heard nothing but great things about him from folks that interact with program. 
Going to be a fun season.
