This state-of-the art Division 1 college baseball stadium serves as the home for the Florida Gators Baseball Team. The pride of this stadium is the 360-degree concourse. Fans can take a lap around the entirety of the stadium and never lose sight of the action due to the open walls, grass berms, and outfield fencing. Whether along the baseline, directly behind home plate, or standing past center field, no one is in danger of missing a pitch. By cantilevering the structural steel of the roof, the team was able to shade the upper-level seats while using that deck to shade the seating below for ultimate Fan comfort throughout the ballpark.
