01 / The story of this place
Make time for these
The field dates to 1975, and today's stadium went up in three phases paid for entirely with private money. Grandstands and a press box came first in 2005, then locker rooms, offices, a training room and a new dugout, and batting and pitching cages in spring 2013. On November 12, 2016, it was named for Gary L. Bryce, with a new scoreboard, and the fences were pushed back to meet NCAA guidelines. Lights went up in summer 2020.
- 490 seats
- Natural grass
- Dimensions: 200-215-220-215-200 feet
