University of South Florida Bulls baseball (2011-present)

USF Baseball Stadium is a baseball venue located in Tampa, Florida, USA. It is home to the University of South Florida Bulls college baseball team of the Division I Big East Conference.[2] The facility has a capacity of 3,211 spectators.[3] It replaced Red McEwen Field as the home of USF baseball.[4]

Features of the ballpark include a 1,500-seat seating area with canopy, in-ground dugouts, fan pavilions, batting cages, and a press box.[3]

History

After the demolition of Red McEwen Field following the 2010 season, construction of a new facility on the same location began. The alignment of the new field was changed from McEwen's to accommodate a concourse shared with the newly-constructed neighboring softball field.[5]

Construction was completed over the 2010-2011 offseason, with the stadium hosting its first game on February 25, 2011. In it, the Bulls lost to Elon 4-3 in extra innings. 3,126 spectators attended, a USF baseball record.[1]

On March 11, 2011, a formal ceremony announcing the facility's opening was held.[3]
