LOS ANGELES—UCLA is set to resume temporary use of its previously shuttered baseball stadium on Veterans Affairs grounds in West Los Angeles Tuesday after coming to an agreement with a federal judge about placement of emergency housing for needy vets on adjacent parking lots.

U.S. District Judge David Carter wrote in an order filed Monday that since UCLA has agreed to pay $600,000 to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) within two weeks, the court will allow UCLA access to the Jackie Robinson Stadium until the end of the 2025 baseball season.
