Lindsey Nelson Stadium is a baseball stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee. It is the home field of the University of Tennessee Volunteers college baseball team. The stadium opened on February 23, 1993[1] and holds 5,548 people.[2] The facility is named after Hall of Fame broadcaster[a] Lindsey Nelson, who attended the university and founded the Vol Radio Network.[4]
From 2006 to 2019, the university undertook three major renovations to the stadium. Originally a natural grass playing surface, the 2019 renovation converted the field to Field Turf.[5] Other renovations included premium seating, outfield wall improvements, and player facilities.[2]
In 2022, the Volunteers ranked 14th in among Division I baseball programs in attendance, averaging 4,230 per home game.[6]
