Eugene B. Depew Field is a baseball venue located on the campus of Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, USA. It is home to the Bucknell University Bison college baseball team of the Division I Patriot League. The field has a seating capacity of 500 spectators and was built in 1990. On April 17, 2003, it was dedicated to Bucknell baseball coach Eugene Depew, a Bucknell alumnus (Class of 1971) and coach of the program since 1982. Depew is the longest-serving coach in the history of Bison baseball.[2]

Renovations

In 2009, a FieldTurf surface was installed at the field.[3] Renovations continued in 2010, when a new backstop, dugouts, and fencing were installed.[2]
