From BOWLING GREEN STATE UNIVERSITY
Bowling Green State University will hold a ribbon-cutting celebration for Warren E. Steller Field on Saturday, March 21, at 12:30 p.m., following recent renovations to elevate the gameday experience for student-athletes and fans.
Made possible by $3.4 million in gifts from generous donors, the baseball complex features a new, state-of-the-art synthetic turf field, enhanced perimeter fencing and lighting, and new batting cages, equipment, and technology. The new field will support year-round training and competition and reduce weather-related disruptions.
Highlighting a commitment to blending classroom learning and real-world experience at BGSU, Falcons senior infielder Sam Seidel, a graphic design major, custom-designed the stadium’s outfield padding.
Opened in 1964, Steller Field’s recent renovations mark the first major upgrades to the facility in decades. According to BGSU Athletics, a new scoreboard and updated backstop were installed in 2012. Before then, new bleachers and a press box were added in 2002.
