Encyclopedia
The Vanderbilt Commodores baseball team represents Vanderbilt University
in NCAA
Division I college baseball
. The team participates in the Eastern division of the Southeastern Conference
. The Commodores, named for shipping
and rail
magnate "Commodore" Cornelius Vanderbilt
, who provided Vanderbilt its initial endowment in 1873 with a $
500.000 , play their home games on campus at Hawkins Field
, and are currently coached by head coach Tim Corbin
.
, made the NCAA field again in 2006, and won the 2007 SEC regular-season and SEC tournament crowns. The Commodores were ranked first in most polls for a majority of the 2007 season and earned the #1 national seed for the 2007 NCAA tournament
.
, which is an on-campus facility with a 2,500 seat capacity, before the installation of outfield bleachers. With the outfield bleachers, which were used in the 2007 Regionals and all of the 2008 season, the capacity was 3,535. It is adjacent to both Vanderbilt Stadium
and Memorial Gymnasium
and is across the street from the McGugin Center. Hawkins Field opened in 2002 and is named after a donor who gave $2 million to help finance construction. The stadium was also the site of the first NCAA Baseball Tournament Regional that Vanderbilt ever hosted when it was the site of the Nashville Regional in 2007.
In May 2008, Vanderbilt announced extensive plans to upgrade its athletic facilities. Included in these renovations plans are the addition of seats down the first base line and outfield seats in both left-center and right field. These additions increased capacity to 5,500 seats, if not more.
