Field Surface

Our field consistently ranks as one of the top venues in all of professional baseball, selected by the SportsTurf Managers Association as the 2014 and 2016 PCL Field of the Year and the 2013 Professional Baseball Field of the Year. Our playing surface is a four variety Kentucky bluegrass blend, growing in a root zone mixture of 92% sand and 8% peat. The field was renovated prior to the 2023 season, resulting in removal of the iconic hill in center field due to Major League Baseball’s concerns about player safety.

Field Trespassing

Any guest attempting to enter the field of play before, during or after an event without authorization will be removed from the stadium and subject to criminal prosecution and/or fines.

First Aid Station

The First Aid Station is located on the concourse behind Section 102/104. If you need immediate assistance, please notify a staff member or visit the CNM Guest Services Booth.

Foul Balls and Home Runs

Batted balls and other objects leaving the field of play can be dangerous and we ask that you stay alert at all times.

Guests are permitted to keep any baseballs that are hit into the stands. However, guests may not enter the field to retrieve balls or otherwise interfere with balls in play. At no time should a foul or home run ball be thrown back onto the field of play (violators will be subject to ejection).
