Florida has continued to upgrade its athletics facilities across the board, with a $64.5 million renovation to the Stephen C. O'Connell Center underway and a $25 million renovation of the student-athlete academic center also just completed.

More upgrades are on the way, and there's a priority list for athletics director Jeremy Foley.

"There are things we want to do for coach (Jim McElwain) in terms of locker room, weight room, team areas, etc," Foley said on the Sportscene with Steve Russell radio show in Gainesville last week. "Obviously in softball there's some things we want to do in terms of size of the facility, size of the dugouts, potentially offices, whatever have you."

But another program may soon come into focus in the facilities discussion: the top-seeded Florida baseball team.

Relatively little has been done to upgrade the facilities for Kevin O'Sullivan and the diamond Gators since he arrived in 2007. The scoreboard was upgraded in 2012, and the outfield walls have since been padded.

And with a massive college baseball position coming open with Texas head coach Augie Garrido resigning, Florida's commitment to improving the baseball facilities could quickly come into focus. Foley provided some additional insight in his radio appearance, indicating baseball is also on the docket for upgrades.

"I think at baseball if you look around the league and see what's being built other places, I'm not so sure we're going to put $35 or $40 million in the baseball stadium," Foley said. "That's an unbelievable sum. But there's things we're looking at baseball. What can that be? What can we do? Those things are being looked on that front."

One major complaint among the fans themselves is the lack of shade at the stadium. A roof shading the stands is one of the most requested features, but Foley doesn't believe that is practical.

So what exactly the Gators can do to improve the facilities within their budget remains to be seen.

"No insight on that right now. Again, we've had that conversation a million times," Foley said. "What can be built there, what works there? Again, our baseball field is not oriented the same as every other place. I'm not just going to put on a roof so we have a roof and it doesn't make any sense because it doesn't work for half the stadium. But this architect firm is studying all those things, so we will look at that going forward."
