UCLA baseball team locked out of home field in lawsuit over lease involving veteran land

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The baseball program at the University of California, Los Angeles, has been locked out of its home stadium on veterans’ land near the campus starting at noon under an order issued by a federal judge. The ruling late Wednesday prohibits UCLA from accessing Jackie Robinson Stadium and an adjacent practice field until it produces a plan that ensures service to veterans is the predominant focus of the facility leased from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. UCLA offered a proposal that the judge deemed inadequate. On the heels of a trial that ended earlier this month, the judge’s decision declared the UCLA lease illegal because its focus was not predominantly service to veterans.
