Home field advantage

Just as in the day when the Blue Tide rolled into Savannah to face Babe Ruth and the Boston Braves, the sights and sounds of Georgia Southern baseball continue to bring pride and excitement to fans. Attendance and amenities at the Eagles’ home ballpark have changed quite a lot, however. Progressing from chain-link fences and wooden bleachers with seating for a few hundred to one of the finest collegiate venues in the country, J.I. Clements Stadium now boasts a capacity of more than 3,000. A 2005 renovation provided for a 30-seat press box with booths for television and home and visiting radio, a fan VIP suite with 27 chairback seats, and a social room with additional seating. The Champions Room on the main concourse features a large meeting area with a kitchen. Coaches’ offices are perched above the home dugout in the Wiggins Building which includes the team locker rooms and clubhouse.
