The Tennessee Volunteers baseball team represents the University of Tennessee in NCAA Division I college baseball. Along with most other Tennessee athletic teams, the baseball team participates in the Eastern division of the Southeastern Conference. The Volunteers play all on-campus home games at Lindsey Nelson Stadium.
Stadium
Lindsey Nelson Stadium was constructed between 1992 and 1993 seasons at the site of the old facility called Lower Hudson Field. The program had played in past in various locations including Lower Hudson Field and Shields–Watkins Field.[2]
Lindsey Nelson was a Hall of Fame Broadcaster, Tennessee native and university alumnus best known for his work with the University of Tennessee, University of Notre Dame, New York Mets, San Francisco Giants, National Football League and the annual Cotton Bowl Classic.[3]
The playing field was named for Maryville, Tennessee native Robert M. Lindsay in 2007 after a $2 million athletic department contribution by Mr. Lindsay. Mr. Lindsay's father Rus Lindsay played baseball at the University of Tennessee from 1913 to 1916.[4]
Lindsey Nelson Stadium is currently in a $98M multi-year renovation project with the most recent additions bringing the current official capacity to 5,548. Once the renovations are complete, a new mezzanine section of premium seating and other additions will bring the capacity up to approximately 7,750 people.[5]
The record attendance at Lindsey Nelson stadium is 6,396 for an NCAA regional championship game against Northern Kentucky on May 31, 2024.[6]
Head coaches
In 2017 Dave Serrano resigned following a 101-110 overall record and no post-season trips. On June 7, 2017 Tony Vitello accepted the position as head coach for Tennessee Baseball and in his first year compiled a 29-27 record, the most wins by a first-year head coach in program history. In just Vitello's second season at Tennessee he led the Vols to 40 wins and their first NCAA tournament appearance since 2005.[7]
