FAU Baseball Stadium is a baseball venue located in Boca Raton, Florida, United States. It has been home to the Florida Atlantic Owls baseball team of the NCAA Division I Conference USA since 1991. The venue has a capacity of 2,000 spectators and features Triple-A-quality lighting.
On April 16, 2008, the Owls were defeated at FAU Baseball Stadium by the then-#1 ranked Miami Hurricanes. The 2,348 spectators in attendance set a stadium record.
The venue features a berm seating area, which allows for increased capacity, down each foul line.
In 2012, college baseball writer Eric Sorenson ranked the stadium as the fifth best small venue in Division I baseball.
Others, including players and coaches from the program, have criticized the facility's poor conditions.
