Doug Kingsmore Stadium
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Doug Kingsmore Stadium is a stadium in Clemson, South Carolina. It is primarily used for baseball, and is the home field of the Clemson University Tigers. It opened in 1970 and holds 6,000 people.
Formerly known as Beautiful Tiger Field, Doug Kingsmore is now arguably one of the top college baseball facilities in the nation.
The stadium only has 3,500 permanent seats. However, it is capable of holding up to 6,000 fans.
In 2000, former baseball player and Board of Trustees member Doug Kingsmore donated $1 million for the stadium's renovation. At this point, it was renamed Doug Kingsmore Stadium.
[edit] Controversy
Some Clemson fans were not pleased with the change in name. The name changed due to a donation of money by Kingsmore.
