MU Ballpark
MU Ballpark is a staple in the heart of Marian's campus, lodged in between the PE Center and softball diamond. The home of the Marian baseball team since its infancy, the facility is complete with a press box, two locker room spaces, and a full team clubhouse. The field, the deepest in the Crossroads League, sits at 400' to dead center, with the lines at 335'.Â
Marian's received an update in 2018, with a new layer of sod being installed in the infield, while the dugouts and bullpens had field turf installed from the former field at St. Vincent Field.
In 2024, under head coach Todd Miller, the field saw additional upgrades, which included the modernization of the locker rooms, mud room, and coaches office located in the press box. The field also saw a makeover, with the infield grass being dropped to major league level height.Â
The dugouts were repainted in the 2022 season, while new graphics and logos were installed in and around the dugouts. The additional branding was added to the side of the press box, listing the Knights' NAIA Scholar Teams and National Tournament Appearances. The inside of the press box was also updated, with a new look to the wall leading into the clubhouse, along with the team record board.Â
Opening in the spring of 2026, a new hitting facility will be operational, located off the left field of the Marian outfield. The facility will have four fully functional hitting tunnels, and will be the new indoor hitting location for the team. The addition of the hitting barn has provided the build for a new bullpen for the Knights in the home out-of-play areas.Â
