FAYETTEVILLE — Twenty years after it topped the list for the first time, Arkansas' Baum Stadium was ranked No. 1 in Baseball America's list of best college baseball parks Thursday.
The 22-year-old stadium was referred to "as one of the crown jewels of college baseball," by the publication, which stated the facility "has withstood the test of time." Baseball America ranked Baum Stadium No. 1 in its list of best college ballparks in 1998 and No. 2 in 2003.
Baum Stadium has undergone multiple renovations since it opened as a 3,328-seat park midway through the 1996 season.
