Brazell Stadium is a college baseball stadium on the campus of Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Arizona. It hosts the Grand Canyon Antelopes of the Western Athletic Conference. The stadium is named for Dr. Dave Brazell, considered to be "the founder and developer of Canyon baseball."〔http://www.gculopes.com/sports/2010/4/7/Brazell%20Stadium.aspx〕 As the coach of the Lopes for 28 seasons, Brazell put together an impressive record of 728-385-8. The stadium is completely composed of natural grass with a dirt infield and dirt base paths. An inning-by-inning digital scoreboard is visible in left-center field. Gold-colored bleachers wrap around the home plate area, extending to each team's dugouts on either side. The stadium features lights, making night games possible. In the off-season prior to the 2014 baseball season, large shades were added over the stands. The official capacity for the venue is 1,500.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Brazell Stadium Review )〕 Improvements over the years at Brazell Stadium have included replacement of wood bleachers, backstop improvements and the awning.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=GCU's Brazell Stadium a hidden baseball gem in the Valley )〕 On February 21, 2014, the Grand Canyon Antelopes baseball team hosted the inaugural game in which the Lopes were a full member of the WAC Conference. The Lopes defeated the Hofstra Pride in convincing 8-1 fashion behind a complete game from starting pitcher Jorge Perez.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title='Lopes Win Home Opener Against Hofstra )〕 After spending four seasons in Division I for baseball only from 1995-1998, the entire athletic department made the jump to NCAA Division I for the fall of 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Grand Canyon University joins Western Athletic Conference )〕 Since the return to Division I for the baseball program, the Lopes boast a 35-13 record at Brazell Stadium through the 2015 season.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Western Athletic Conference Baseball Standings )〕 ==See also== * List of NCAA Division I baseball venues 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brazell Stadium」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
