Facilities
Goss Stadium at Coleman Field is the home of Oregon State Baseball and considered the oldest continuous ballpark in the nation. Stadium lights were added in 2002. In 2006, the infield was changed to an artificial turf surface while the outfield remained grass. In 2015, the Jacoby Ellsbury Players' Locker Room (in name of Jacoby Ellsbury who donated $1 million to the project) was completed down the third base line, which finished a string of upgrades to Goss Stadium, including installation of artificial turf over the entire playing area.
