Varsity Field (2012-2020)

Following the 2011 season, plans to renovate Varsity Field were announced, funded by a record $2.2 million anonymous donation. The additions and improvements, which were scheduled to be completed prior to the 2012 season, included stadium seating, bullpens, a press box, a PA system, dugouts, and a batter's eye. [3] Due to construction delays, however, the Bearcats were unable to play any 2012 games at the field. The team played the majority of its games on the road and used the Binghamton Mets' NYSEG Stadium and Cornell University's Hoy Field for their seven home games. [4] [5] [6] In 2017, a new electronic scoreboard was installed. [7]

Binghamton Baseball Complex (2020-present)

On February 11, 2020, the school announced that they had received a $60 million anonymous donation to renovate the facility a second time. This renovation would nearly double the capacity of the field to 1,906 spectators, as well as add a 84,000 square foot facility, VIP areas, and two-story press box. [8]
