To enhance the spectator experience, improvements include a new stadium entry, boardwalk, concessions, team store, and expanded stadium and terraced seating. Constructed behind home base is a new hospitality suite, including a VIP lounge, press box, and viewing rooms.
The ground floor of the two-story field house features a new team locker room, player lounge, indoor batting cages, nutrition and fitness areas, and hydrotherapy treatment facilities. The second floor houses a student educational center, coach and staff offices, conference spaces, and a multi-purpose team meeting room with stadium seating overlooking the field.
Announced during a Binghamton University press conference in February 2020, this project is the result of a $60 million anonymous donation – the largest gift in the college’s history. In the end, the new complex will meet NCAA requirements for hosting post-season tournament play, enhance recruitment efforts, and provide athletes and coaching staff with state-of-the-art facilities that stand among the top Division I stadiums in the country.
