UCLA'S BRANCA FAMILY FIELD GRAND OPENING

Ahead of the 3/1 showdown between SoCal's top collegiate baseball squads, UCLA will host the grand opening of the Branca Family Field, the new state-of-the-art practice facility at the Gifford Sports Complex at Jackie Robinson Stadium.

Named after legendary Brooklyn Dodger Ralph Branca, the first MLB player to embrace Jackie Robinson—and biz mogul John Branca, who donated $1m for the facility—the new field metaphorically reunites the Dodger teammates.

After the grand opening of the Branca Family Field, stick around to watch top-ranked baseball teams the Bruins and the Long Beach State Dirtbags mount a D1 baseball showcase.
