CAA keeps baseball site in North Carolina 9:01 a.m., March 23, 2005--The Colonial Athletic Association Executive Committee has voted to keep the conference baseball championship at Brooks Field on the campus of the University of North Carolina Wilmington through 2007. The event moved to UNC Wilmington last year, when the University of Delaware fell to the host Seahawks in the title game, and the facility will host the 2005 championship from May 25-28, with the winner earning an automatic bid to the NCAA baseball tournament. “We were very pleased with the operation of the CAA Baseball Championship and the support it received in Wilmington last year,” CAA Commissioner Tom Yeager said. “With the extension of the agreement to 2007, we are hopeful that it will continue to build into one of the conference’s premier events.” Brooks Field, with 3,000 seats, is considered one of the finest on-campus complexes in the collegiate ranks. The facility served as the home of the Seattle Mariners’ Class AA affiliate from 1995-96 and the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Class A affiliate in 2001. The complex features three regulation fields, a three-story press box, permanent chair back seating and an irrigation system. To learn how to subscribe to UDaily, click here. |
