Reckling Park has
taken its place among the very best college baseball stadium in the
nation.
The reviews have been nothing but positive for the new home of Rice baseball. From its picturesque setting on the Rice campus facing the Texas Medical Center, to the comfort of the more than 3,100 chairback seats (most with cupholders), to the eight private suites, to the spacious locker rooms for both teams and umpires, to the best press box in college baseball; every visitor has raved about Reckling Park. First and foremost, the new stadium gives Rice student-athletes a venue befitting one of the top programs in the nation. Owl baseball is completely housed in the facility. Head coach Wayne Graham and his assistants work in a spacious office suite which includes their private locker room, equipment storage areas and clerical areas. For the players, the Rice clubhouse is one of the
best anywhere, adjacent to the weight and aerobic workout areas and
athletic training room. On game day, the Owls and their guests use some of
the largest dugouts in the country. Visiting teams and umpires also have
use of large, functional locker room areas. |
