Cecil Ballow Baseball Complex


Cecil Ballow Baseball Complex is the home to the Tarleton State Texans baseball team in Stephenville, Texas. The field is natural grass, and seated capacity is 550. The stadium opened in 1988 just after completion.

Reinstatement of Baseball

The construction of the ballpark started in January 1987, a year before the baseball program was reinstated. It was officially named Cecil Ballow Baseball Complex in December 1987 in honor of Cecil Ballow who was the school's former Dean of Students and pioneer in baseball where he also coached for 10 years.
