The stadium sits next to historic Allen Fieldhouse, home to the Kansas Jayhawks basketball teams. It is named after former Jayhawk baseball shortstop and former petroleum-industry CEO Forrest Hoglund.
Adjacent to the venerable Allen Fieldhouse stands the stadium, which bears the name of Forrest Hoglund, a distinguished alumnus of the university who played baseball for the Jayhawks and later became a prominent figure in the petroleum sector.
