Brazell Field at GCU Ballpark is a college baseball stadium on the campus of Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Arizona. It hosts the Grand Canyon Antelopes of the Western Athletic Conference.

The field is named for Dr. Dave Brazell, considered to be "the founder and developer of Canyon baseball."[3] As the coach of the Lopes for 28 seasons, Brazell put together a record of 728–385–8.

The playing surface is composed complete of natural grass, save for infield foul territory where AstroTurf was installed in 2018. An inning-by-inning digital scoreboard is visible in left-center field.
