    Reese Smith Field


    Comment on Facebook

    The campus of Middle Tennessee is home to what is considered to be one of the finest collegiate baseball fields in the nation. The 2,600-seat stadium was named in October of 1982, and was officially dedicated on April 12, 1983, at a ceremony prior to the Blue Raiders' matchup with Vanderbilt University.

    This dedication was a well-earned salute to the efforts of the late Reese Smith and family. In 1979, Smith, a Nashville alumnus, and his two sons who had played baseball for the Blue Raiders, threw their efforts into lighting the field and building the stadium that now exists.
