College Baseball in the Home of Baseball



From the soccer stands at Stevens’ Dobbelaar Field, Apr-2008.

Nestled next to the athletics building, a dedicated set of baseball seats.

The field looks out over the city of Hoboken.

Quick Facts:
In the mid-19th century, Col. Jacob Stevens owned much of the land on the east side of Hoboken, including the Elysian Fields, a greensward which became a hotbed of baseball activity from about 1845 to 1870.

Eventually, Stevens sold off the Elysian Fields for residential and commercial development, but he started a school, now known as Stevens Institute of Technology, atop the hill that overlooked Castle Point. The school is regarded as one of the top engineering institutions in the United States.

Dobbelaar Field is part of the DeBaun Athletic Complex on campus. The field also hosts soccer and lacrosse. The main grandstand (not depicted above) is for soccer, along what is considered the third-base side for baseball. The entire field, located about three blocks south of the Elysian Fields site, received a modern artificial turf surface early in the 21st century.
