Don '63 and Chris '88 Cook Field
The Fairfield University baseball team plays all of its home games on Don '63 and Chris '88 Cook Field. Formerly "Alumni Baseball Diamond," the venue was named in early 2024 in honor of Hall of Fame coach and athletic director C. Donald Cook and his late son Christopher. An official dedication was held on April 27, 2024.
The renovated facility features a new backstop with a total seating capacity of 350 including 80 chair-back seats behind home plate and a modern backstop netting system for improved sightlines. 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.
Training Facility
Completed in the summer of 2019, the Fairfield Baseball and Softball indoor hitting and pitching facility sits beyond the right field fence of Alumni Diamond. The facility features two 70' cages for year-round use with retractable center netting for defensive work. The space also includes an area for video playback and swing analysis.
*In case of inclement weather, camp will be held in the Walsh Athletic Center.
