The home to Longwood University Baseball is Lancer Stadium -- one of the finest collegiate facilities in Virginia. Longwood inaugurated competition in the completely renovated facility in 1994. The Lancers won that initial contest 8-3 over Davis & Elkins (W.Va.) on March 12, 1994, and sport an overall record of 287-110 (.723) at Lancer Stadium through the 2009 season.
Construction on the new Lancer Stadium was completed during 1993 with refinements on the infield and outfield. Lancer Stadium is a fan-friendly stadium that seats approximately 500, and includes an air-conditioned press box, fences, backstop, dugouts, batting cage, irrigation, and landscaping. Most prominent at the new facility, though, is the scoreboard/message center, compliments of the Pepsi Cola Company. The addition of permanent lighting to the stadium during spring 2007 allows for night games to be played as well, and a complete drainage system was installed during fall 2007 to further enhance the stadium. A new clubhouse/locker-room facility was completed during the summer and fall of 2008 as well.
The field dimensions are 335’ down the right and left-field lines, 375’ to the power alleys in right and left-center fields, and 400’ to straight-away center field. Additionally, the recessed dugouts are equipped with water fountains, restroom facilities, and storage areas. The facility played host to the first two Carolinas-Virginia Athletic Conference (CVAC) Baseball Championship Tournaments in 1996 and 1997.
Lancer Stadium was officially dedicated on October 5, 1993, as 56 former Longwood baseball players returned to the Farmville campus to share in the dedication of the new facility. Longwood veteran coach Buddy Bolding feels the renovation of Lancer Stadium gives his tradition-rich program a first-class facility.
