TARLETON BASEBALL COMPLEX

While the home of Tarleton Baseball hasn't moved since the program was revived in 1988, it has certainly seen quite the facelift. The Tarleton Baseball Complex underwent the first phase of a major transformation  in the summer of 2021 when the original field, fence and lights were replaced with brand-new turf, Champion Wall, and LED lights. Ahead of the 2023 season, Tarleton State expanded seating and installed a new press box. Capacity increased to over 1,000 new  seats, shaded from the Texas sun with a cantilever roof structure providing cover.

The complex went into construction in January of 1987 and was completed prior to the inaugural season of baseball in 1988 under head coach Lee Driggers.

The field is located beside the Tarleton indoor softball and baseball buildings and adjacent to the Tarleton State Softball Complex - which was a later addition to the property when the university added women’s fastpitch softball in 1996 - on the south side of Washington Street. The field is Hellas Matrix Turf and is framed in center and right field by pecan trees with the university behind Washington Street in the distance. The field measures out to 320 feet down each foul line, 365 feet to the gaps, and 400 feet to straight-away centerfield.

A scoreboard was added prior to the 2014 season with inning-by-inning score-tracking capabilities as well as columns for runs, hits, and errors. The LED scoreboard allows for customizable names to be placed in the home and visitor title screens.

The dugouts in the complex are covered with red brick and the stands seat 750 spectators in metal bleachers that wrap around the fence behind home plate. A new nylon backstop was installed prior to the 2015 season that wraps from dugout to dugout and extend 50 feet high - replacing the 30-foot high chain-link fence that was originally placed behind the plate in 1988.

The press box is located at the top of the center seating section and has space for a scoreboard operator, official statistician, and media.
