Samford's baseball stadium, Joe Lee Griffin Field, is set in between the state of the art 32 million dollar on campus basketball arena and athletic office building and the incredible hillsides of the Homewood area.
On the website StadiumJourney.com, Joe Lee Griffin Field was given an overall score of 3.86 stars out of 5. Â
The biggest and most exciting addition to date has been the completion of the J.T. Haywood Field House in 2013, which includes an indoor hitting facility and locker room. The facility features a 10,000 square foot artificially turfed area equipped with a number of cages and an over sized area for bullpens. The north side of the facility houses the locker room area for the players and coaches equipped with a video room, showers and lounge area.
In January of 2006, a half million dollar complete renovation of the playing surface with sprinkler system and irrigation was completed along with Georgian Colonial brick walls down the foul lines to complete the field.
A new Press Box facility was constructed in 2008 atop of Joe Lee Griffin Stadium, which was built in 1999 in the heart of Samford University. The facility includes radio broadcast booths for home and away teams in addition to the normal press area. All home baseball games are broadcast live on either ESPN+ or ESPN3. Live Stats are also available for all of the baseball games.
A state-of-the-art 5,000 square foot weight room is included in the Basketball Arena directly adjacent to the baseball stadium.
