Emory G. Bauer Field
Emory G. Bauer Field has been home to the Valparaiso University baseball team since the 1970 season.
Constructed out at the Eastgate Athletic Fields, major renovations to the facility have taken place beginning in 2001.
A state-of-the-art clubhouse was constructed along the first base line featuring offices for the coaches and staff of the Crusader program. Two locker rooms, equipped with showers, allow for both the varsity and reserve programs to be housed together. The complex also features a training room and indoor hitting cages. A team room featuring a kitchen, television, and a variety of games, allows for the players and staff to feel at home.
The exterior of the clubhouse connects with Emory G. Bauer Field to provide an above-ground dugout for the Crusaders.
With a grandstand seating capacity of 500, fans will also line the third base line on sunny days beyond the visitor’s dugout in their own lawn chairs.
A press box, with a phone line, is perched atop the grandstands.
