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."[1] 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.
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.[2]
