CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
ONE TEAM. ONE GOAL.
Throughout the last decade of Maverick Athletics, UTA's Capital Improvements Campaign has played a critical role in our success by providing enhanced facilities for UTA student-athletes. Naming opportunities exist for those that wish to leave a legacy through leadership gifts that will have a substantial positive impact on the experience of our student-athletes for decades to come.
Each facility plays a crucial role in benefiting our individual sport programs and department as a whole. Facility projects present a unique opportunity for donors to directly impact the experience and resources available to our student-athletes in order to better equip them for success.
JOIN THE FIGHT
Naming opportunities are available within all of our facilities and are a great way to leave a family legacy or honor someone who impacted UTA or you personally. For more information about these opportunities or to coordinate a private tour of the facilities, please contact:

John & Pattye Mocek 3rd Base Patio
The John & Pattye Mocek 3rd Base Patio is the newest addition to Clay Gould Ballpark. The patio area is named in honor of John Mocek, who spent 45 years at UTA as a student-athlete, coach and UTA Athletics administrator, and his wife Pattye.
The Mocek Patio is located along the 3rd-base line past the visitor's dugout, and features a UTA-branded 35-foot-by-40-foot shaded cover that is 17 feet high, with ample space for events. The entrance to the patio is marked by a pair of stone entryway columns, which include a 'John & Pattye Mocek 3rd Base Patio' commemorative plaque.
Plans to continue improving the space are already in place, with Phase II expected to include an outdoor kitchen, complete with a BBQ pit, grill and more.
