LATHAM BASEBALL STADIUM

One of the first on-campus facilities constructed prior to Furman University's move from downtown Greenville to its current location in the late 1950s, Latham Baseball Stadium, named for former Paladin All-Southern Conference performer and Furman benefactor Tommy Latham and his family in May of 2008, possesses as much charm and character as any baseball complex in the league.

Located in the heart of Furman's modern athletics complex on one of the nation's most scenic campuses, Latham Stadium boasts an outstanding, well-maintained playing surface of Bermuda and rye grass known for its consistency and smoothness.  In addition, the facility boasts a new press box, modern scoreboard, new netted backstop that has dramatically improved sight lines for fans, and expanded dugouts.  With seating for 2,000, including 300 permanent stadium-style seats installed prior to the 1998 season, restroom facilities, and concession stand, the stadium offers fans an excellent venue for enjoying collegiate baseball.

In the spring of 2001, Furman Baseball Stadium underwent yet another significant improvement with the addition of lights that meet standards for Double A and Triple A professional baseball.  On April 13, 2001, the Paladins hosted Southern Conference foe UNC Greensboro in the first home night games ever played on campus.  In 2006 a covered batting cage area was constructed down the left field line.

Since its opening on March 20, 1956, Furman Baseball Stadium has served as the home of six Southern Conference championship teams, including the 2005 Paladin squad that advanced to the NCAA Atlanta Regional after claiming the league's tournament championship in dominating fashion.

Furman Stadium measures 330 feet down the left and right field lines, 350 feet to left center field, 371 fee to the right center field power alley, and 393 fee to the center field fence.
