TIME WARNER CABLE STADIUM
The Home of Dayton Baseball
Time Warner Cable Stadium is nearing the completion of a two-year construction project, which was made possible in part by the support of Time Warner Cable.
Flyer Faithful will benefit in 2005 from improvements at the $4 million facility which include a press box, covered chair back seating behind home plate, concessions and restrooms. The team will also benefit from an indoor hitting/pitching cage with team rooms located along the right field line that can be used throughout the year.
"It is very humbling for our baseball team to have one of the best facilities in the Midwest as well as the best facility in the Atlantic 10," said Head Coach Tony Vittorio. "The great thing about it is that our players were able to see it go up from the ground level. You could see in their eyes the amount of pride that they have in the facility."
BAUJAN FIELD

 |
The Home of Flyer Soccer
Since becoming the exclusive home to UD soccer, Baujan Field has grown into one of the top soccer venues in the Atlantic 10 Conference. The facility boasts a well-maintained natural grass surface with an irrigartion system as well as a lighting system, allowing for night games. A new scoreboard on the east end and pair of bleacher seating sections on the south side were new additions to the field in 1999.
On the north side of the field, a brick-faced terraced seating section was bulit into the hillside. The project, totaling more than $500,000 and fully funded with private donations, helped increase the seating capacity to 2,000.
Baujan Field has played host to a number of post-season soccer events. The Atlantic 10 Women's Soccer Championship was hosted here in 1998 and again in 2002, with the Men's Championship being played in 1996 and 1999. A first-round match of the 1999 NCAA Women's Soccer Championship called Baujan Field home as the Flyers advanced with a 3-2 win over Evansville. The men have twice played NCAA Play-In games at the historic venue -- 1997 and 1998.
