Loren Campbell Memorial Field
Loren Campbell Memorial Field, named after former SUNY New Paltz baseball coach Loren Campbell (1954-1961), is home to the Division-III Hawks.
Campbell Field is a regulation-size baseball field (fully enclosed) with
Dugouts, spectator seating for 250, an electronic scoreboard, an astroturfed
batting
tunnel and a soft
toss area. The field has full electricity in its dugouts, seating area
and batting tunnel. A refreshment and food shed sells to fans
on gamedays behind home plate. The field is located behind Elting Gym,
next to the varsity tennis courts.
Former SUNY New Paltz head baseball coach Mike Juhl was responsible for
many of the improvements at Campbell Field. Juhl built dugouts, painted
bleachers,
put up fencing, cleared out marsh, fertilized and cut
grass,
and edged
the
baselines during the field's renovation in 1999. To simplify maintenance,
a professional in-ground irrigation system was installed.
Campbell Field is a premium playing surface for baseball only, with a natural
grass playing field. The field includes:
» Beam clay infield, game mound
and plate areas and both bullpens
» Double
pens in each bullpen
» Crusher dust warning track completely around
perimeter.
» Padded backstop
