Hawkins Field is a baseball stadium in Nashville, Tennessee. It is the home field of the Vanderbilt Commodores college baseball team.[1] The stadium opened in 2002[2] adjacent to Vanderbilt Stadium and Memorial Gymnasium[1] and holds 3,700 people.[3] In 2010, the Nashville Outlaws, a collegiate summer baseball team of the Prospect League, used Hawkins Field as their home ballpark.[4]

The venue is named for the family of Charles Hawkins III, a benefactor of the university and baseball program.[1]
