Hunnicutt Field’s stadium was only built in 1988 (although the field was there 30 years before – it was used by the local high school team, the Princeton Tigers), and it received extensive renovations and upgrades during the 1999 season. It opened anew for 2000, with folding “box” seats behind the plate and in front of the press box seating about 300, and bleacher areas flanking that bringing the total capacity to 1950. However, the entire structure is steel and aluminum, which seemed to take something away from it.
The main view from Hunnicutt is of the nearby high school and football field, although businesses on a main street can also be seen. An undeveloped hilly forest sits behind the first base side.
