Bill Beck Field is a baseball venue located on the campus of the University of Rhode Island in Kingston, Rhode Island, USA. It is home to the Rhode Island Rams baseball team, a member of the NCAA Division I Atlantic 10 Conference. The field was built in 1966 and is named after former Rams baseball and football coach Bill Beck.[2] It has a capacity of 1,000 spectators.[3]
The field is located behind Mackal Field House, the home venue of Rhode Island's men's and women's indoor track & field teams.[4]
Renovations
In 2000, extensive renovations to the field began. The playing surface was leveled and resodded, and a new sprinkler system was added. In 2001, the field's dugouts were replaced. In 2002, an electronic scoreboard was installed, two batting cages were added down the right field line, and the field's fencing was replaced.[1] Later, matching batting cages were added down the left field line.
In 2007, a $1,000,000 donation to the baseball program led to $1.4 million renovations on Bill Beck Field. Completed in time for the 2009 season, a new backstop, scoreboard, fencing, and bullpens were constructed. Also, a new FieldTurf surface was installed.[2]
