Shipley Field

Shipley Field has been the home of the Maryland baseball team since 1965 and is located in the heart of the Maryland campus, in between Byrd Stadium and the Artificial Turf Facility. Currently, it has a seating capacity of 2,500. Its playing surface, as of 1998, is Bermuda grass.

In addition to the excitement and national attention that ACC baseball generates, Shipley Field has also been the host to several other notable teams since its opening. In 1982, Shipley Field was the site of an exhibition game between the Terps and Earl Weaver's Baltimore Orioles. Eight years later, in 1990, the Soviet baseball team paid a visit to Shipley Field to take on the Terps in an exhibition series.

Shipley Field has been hosting night games since lights were installed prior to the 1994 season and is named after legendary Terps' coach H. Burton Shipley, who was the Maryland skipper from 1924-1960.
