Jim Perry Stadium

Description

Jim Perry Stadium is a baseball stadium in Buies Creek, North Carolina. It is home to the Campbell Fighting Camels baseball team. Previously known as Taylor Field, the venue dates back to the 1940s and Campbell's junior college baseball days. Taylor Field was named for Herbert B. Taylor, a supporter of Campbell University's athletics programs. Following the 2012 season, the field was renamed for Jim Perry, who played baseball and basketball for Campbell from 1956 to 1959. Perry later pitched for 17 seasons in Major League Baseball, earning the 1970 American League Cy Young Award with the Minnesota Twins.The field dimensions are 337 feet down the left field line, 368 feet in left-center, 395 feet to straight-away center, 375 feet to the right-center, and 328 feet down the right field line. Renovations began in 2011,and included a new entrance and ticket booth, restrooms and concession stand, as well as improved exterior landscaping. The stadium was dedicated prior to a 6–3 victory over in-state rival Duke on March 26, 2013.A later addition was a new grandstand that stretches from dugout to dugout and featured 310 chairback seats, with an overall seating capacity then of 630. New dugouts were constructed, with the home dugout built in-ground. A pavillion was also added, dedicated to Jim and Daphne Perry. Prior to the 2017 seasons, ProGrass Turf installed a complete turf playing surface, and new chair seat backs were added, bringing the stadiums' capacity to over 1,000 seats. This newest addition also provided a state-of-the-art locker room, and new offices for the entire Campbell baseball operation. An HD video board has been added, the laregest in the Big SOuth COnference, measuring 35' 7 1/2" tall and 42' 6 1/2" wide.

Nice breeze blowing tonight as we watch High Point University battle it out with Campbell University.
Real nice stadium for a small school like Campbell University. The whole field is ASTRO turf except for the pitchers mound. They have plenty of seating and concessions. Sometimes they even have a snowball truck at the games. They sell merchandise too. Tickets are really affordable and they even have some decks in left field you can rent , by the game , where you can bring a grill and your coolers. The stadium is named after Jim Perry. Gaylord Perry's brother. Learning about the history of Him and the team in general is pretty cool. I'd highly recommend everyone to check this small , home town stadium out.
Beautiful field and great location.
Very nice stadium, small sections, easy maneuverability and very clean. Good crowd, great atmosphere, excellent all around experience!
I had a great time!! Enjoying seeing the home Campbell baseball team do their thing. Looking forward to coming again.
Great stadium and food! Pepsi products, Carolina Packer hotdogs, and Houston peanuts! Come on NCSU, you need to step up your food game! Seating is limited but I'm sure as their team grows in popularity the Camels will add more bleachers.
Very well kept small stadium. The warm pretzels were a nice touch on a cold night
Black seats in the hot sun is not good. Seems like there should be a section with some shade in the afternoons. Poorly designed stadium.
Great venue. Very reasonable prices on tickets and concessions. Looking forward to catching another game.
