Opened in 1996, Baum remains one of the crown jewels of college baseball. It quickly became the model ballpark in college baseball and has withstood the test of time—with the help of some improvements over the years that have increased its seating capacity and the number of suites, as well as changing the playing surface from artificial turf to grass. Arkansas annually ranks near the top of college baseball’s attendance leaders and the Hog Pen picnic area in left field remains an iconic experience. Coach Dave Van Horn said Baum is critical to the program’s success because it acts as a showpiece to attract elite players to Fayetteville, which is far from a major metropolitan area. Baum has helped Arkansas compete at a high level and created an atmosphere that is envied around the country. The first of its kind remains college baseball’s pinnacle.

They’re only 3 Tony Cachere’s ads away from taking the top spot.

Swayze at OlMiss ranked as the #1 "historic" park, whatever that means
Opened in 1988 and been throwing beer after home runs for 2 years. Yep, his-tor-ic

Originally built in 1988, Swayze stands out for its charm and rowdy atmosphere, fueled by the student section in right field and its famous beer showers after home runs.

I always get a chuckle out of that. Does Tony Chachere really need to advertise to LSU fan?

I’m a Clemson fan and Founders park (South Carolina) needs to be very near the top.

Only working with half a stadium and still #3 lol. Can’t wait to be on top next year when it’s all said and done.

Adds, adds, adds
Everywhere
I count 57 visible adds in those pictures alone and I probably missed some.

The new Alex Box cut as many corners to be done as cheaply and quickly as possible. Lack of chairbacks (three different colors) with so many metal bleachers, bullpens turned into an afterthought placed in foul territory rather than own designated area, tacky ads throughout especially on backstop with overall design not very good.

You make some strong points. It's still a beautiful stadium, but it could have been so much better.
