The Liberty Baseball Stadium was ranked No. 4 in best college ballpark experiences of 2015 by the Stadium Journey website. Liberty gameday experience sits only behind South Carolina, LSU and Mississipi State and is an experience you will not want to miss! Stay warm by the firepits or relax on the patio in rocking chairs, while the kids play in our playground. Enjoy in-game promotions with our baseball emcee's and catch yourself on the jumbotron during the smile cam, flex cam, oblivious cam and more! A new addition to the fan experience is the Flame Train, an authentic train caboose located behind the right field visitor's bullpen.
For the second consecutive season, Liberty finished 2015 in the top 50 in the nation among NCAA Division I schools for regular season average and overall attendance. Liberty finished 48th nationally with an average attendance of 1,404 and 48th in overall attendance with 39,334.
