UMBC Retrievers baseball (NCAA Division I AEC)

The Baseball Factory Field at UMBC was the name of a Alumni Field located on the campus of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County in Catonsville, Maryland, United States. Alumni Field is home to the UMBC Retrievers baseball team of the NCAA Division I America East Conference. The field is located adjacent to UMBC Stadium. It has a capacity of 1,000 spectators.[2] Previously known as Alumni Field, the venue was renamed on April 20, 2004, after the university's agreement with player development company Baseball Factory. The field was gone back to being renamed Alumni Field. Prior to the 2004 season, the field underwent a $350,000 renovation which added a new lighting system, playing surface, and warning track. Since 2004, the facility's press box, dugout, and bleachers were upgraded.
