Baum Stadium at George Cole Field

When Baum Stadium opened in 1996 it was the class of college baseball venues. Now, more than a decade later, Baum Stadium remains the gold standard for college baseball facilities.

The 2007 season saw the completion of the third renovation of Baum Stadium since Van Horn’s arrival in 2003. Another 20 luxury boxes and more than 1,200 chairback seats were added along with additional restrooms and an expanded Hog Pen and picnic area.

The additions brought the total Baum Stadium capacity to roughly 10,500 seats with 9,200 chairbacks and 34 luxury boxes.

A new ticket office and Razorback Foundation building also now sits down the left-field line on Razorback Road. The Baum Stadium lights were also upgraded with the installation of state-of-the-art Musco Field Lights. New field wall pads also adorn the outfield walls.

The combination of the upgrades and a top 10 baseball team produced record numbers through the turnstiles in 2007 as UA smashed the school record for the fourth straight year.

Arkansas became the first team in NCAA history to average more than 8,000 tickets sold per game (8,069) with a total of 266,270 tickets sold for the 33 home games in 2007. UA also turned in an impressive average actual attendance of 6,007 per game with 198,218 fans passing through the gates for the season.

In 2004, Baum Stadium served as host to an NCAA Regional and Super Regional, drawing the largest total attendance in the nation for both events. The largest on-campus crowd to ever witness an NCAA Super Regional game turned out for the Razorbacks' series-clinching win over the Florida State Seminoles.

An amazing 10,027 fans turned out for the second game against Florida State, breaking the previous record set just the night before when 9,338 fans showed up for game one of the series.

In all, a combined 58,138 fans attended the NCAA Regional and Super Regional at Baum Stadium.
