EUGENE, Ore. – With its first-class ballpark less than four months away from completion, Oregon baseball unveiled its schedule and launched season ticket sales for the 2010 season today.

The Ducks are playing a 60-game schedule, which includes 29 games at PK Park, and 16 games under the lights.

PK Park, scheduled to be completed by Feb. 26, 2010, will seat approximately 3,200 fans, with 2,600 chairback seats in the main seating bowl.

“We are very excited to announce the 2010 schedule,” head coach George Horton said.  “The quality of teams we are bringing in, along with our spectacular new stadium, will create a fantastic atmosphere for the Eugene community to experience collegiate baseball.  We are looking forward to opening up the brand new PK park on March 2nd and 3rd against the Huskies.”
