Short profile:
The Fairfield University baseball team plays all of its home games on Alumni Baseball Diamond. The facility includes seating for nearly 1,000 fans behind home plate and along both baselines. The field dimensions are 330 feet down the lines, 400 feet to center field and 370 feet in the power alleys. The facility includes batting cages and bullpens for both teams, helping make Alumni Baseball Diamond one of the finest intercollegiate facilities in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, as well as in the region.
Detailed description:
The newly-renovated Alumni Stadium hosts more than 4,000 fans for athletic contests. The University installed athletic turf as part of the renovation. The complex also includes a press box with permanent stands on both sides of the field. The men's and women's lacrosse teams play games at Alumni Stadium when weather prohibits it on Lessing Field's natural surface.
Located in the University’s Leslie C. Quick Recreational Complex is the home of the Stags swimming and diving programs – Alumni Pool.
The eight-lane, 25-meter pool is just one component of the Aquatics Center, which boasts an eight-line scoreboard. With its ample spectator seating, large deck and bright feel, the wall behind the diving end of the pool is all glass, the Aquatics Center is a fine home for the Stags. The facility also boasts a whirlpool, sun deck and spectator balcony, while the facilities locker rooms offer saunas.
A new era began for the Fairfield University softball team in March 1999 when the Stags made the move from Barlow Field to Alumni Softball Field, a facility centrally located on the main campus. The field has two field-level dugouts, a bullpen in left field, and a fully-functional scoreboard. The field dimensions are 200 feet down the base lines and 225 in center field. Fans can watch the action from bleacher seating located on the first base line as well as on the grassy hill that runs from right field into center field.
