Brown-Stroud Field
Facilities Home
Home of Demon Baseball
Named for the first two head baseball coaches in school history -- C.C. Stroud (1912-30) and H. Alvin “Cracker” Brown (1949-66) -- Brown-Stroud Field has been the home to nine Southland Conference championship teams.
The facility has undergone significant changes in the past three seasons, culminating with the addition of two suites, a reconfigured press box and additional chairback seating for the 2019 season. Along with a grandstand that seats 1,200, there is hillside seating along both baselines, giving fans some of the best sightlines in the Southland Conference.
Fitting for a program that relishes high-level competition, Brown-Stroud Field has hosted College World Series programs LSU, Alabama, Arkansas, TCU, UL Lafayette, Nebraska and Missouri State as well as Missouri, Houston, Kansas State, Oral Roberts. Brown-Stroud also was home to Brian Lawrence, who pitched for the Demons in the 1997 and 98 seasons before anchoring the San Diego Padres starting rotation in the early-to-mid-2000s.
