OXFORD-UNIVERSITY STADIUM

OXFORD-UNIVERSITY STADIUM SWAYZE FIELD Since its opening on April 22, 1989, Oxford-University Stadium/Swayze Field has become one of the nation’s top venues for a weekend of college baseball. Following the $18 million dollar renovations prior to the 2009 season, gameday at Swayze Field continues to provide fans of college baseball one of the best experiences in the nation. Along with serving as one of the best atmospheres in college baseball, Ole Miss packs some of the nation’s largest baseball crowds into Oxford-University Stadium each weekend. Ole Miss Baseball has ranked top-five nationally in attendance each of the past 10 seasons. In 2016, an average crowd at Swayze Field reached a program-record 8,579; that mark ranked second in the country throughout the season. The Rebels have won over 70 percent of their home games throughout the past 28 seasons. The combination of winning baseball plus an electric fanbase makes Oxford-University Stadium/Swayze Field a bucket list item for any sports fan. A 2016 survey conducted by D1Baseball.com proved it as Division I baseball coaches ranked Swayze Field top 10

Students pack into the right field terrace throughout the spring to cheer on the Rebels at Swayze Field and help create one of the most rowdy gameday atmospheres in the nation.
