RIDDLE-PACE FIELD

Continued improvements to Riddle-Pace Field, along with the addition of the Lott Baseball Complex, give Troy University one of the top baseball facilities in the Sun Belt Conference and in the nation. Original renovations to Riddle-Pace Field were completed in time for the 2002 season, with the latest phase of improvements made in time for the 2008 season. 2009 marked another landmark in the history of the facility as the Trojans hosted, for the first time, the Sun Belt Conference Championship Tournament. Riddle-Pace Field is a beautiful facility constructed of red brick and exposed steel beams, which complement the attractive architecture already found on the Troy University campus. The stadium was designed to ensure outstanding sightlines and comfort for fans, as well as meet the needs of the country’s finest college baseball players.

Baseball Complex. Once inside, the Stadium provides 300 chairback seats and 1,700 bleacher seats. Approximately 30 percent of the stadium seating behind home plate is covered by an awning for protection from the sun or rain. The addition of the Lott Baseball Complex in 2008 includes locker room facilities for the Trojans, coaches offices, a new scoreboard with additional advertising opportunities, a covered batting cage and a new outfield wall. Prior to 2002, the last major renovation to the stadium came prior to the 1991 season when the infield was dug up, leveled and rebuilt with new sod and a complete irrigation system. Prior to that, Triple-A quality lighting was installed in time for the 1987 campaign.
