PHILADELPHIA – The Division of Recreation and Intercollegiate Athletics (DRIA) at the University of Pennsylvania is pleased to share the progress of fundraising efforts for a renovated Meiklejohn Stadium for the Penn baseball program. After launching a $2,050,000 match challenge in July 2020 thanks to a transformational gift from Warren Lichtenstein C'87, the program has raised $1,565,000 toward the overall goal, leaving $485,000 to raise to unlock the full match. Once the program hits this goal and completes the renovations, the playing surface will be known as Tommy Lasorda Field at Meiklejohn Stadium, named after the Baseball Hall of Fame inductee from Norristown, Pa. who won two World Series titles while managing the Los Angeles Dodgers. Tommy sadly passed away on January 7, 2021.
