WHERE WE PLAY
Our Facilities
Reckling Park
Capacity: 6,193
Year Opened: 2000
Highlights: Reckling Park is a premier college baseball facility which includes 9 suites, a spacious press box, and radio spaces. Other schools have tried to follow Rice baseball’s lead, building bigger and more expensive stadiums, but Reckling Park remains among the best venues in college baseball. The 2018 season was the Owls’ 19th at the stadium. Rice has won an eye-opening 77 percent of its more than 600 games at Reckling Park since opening for the 2000 season.
The facility is, in fact, better than ever after its most-recent renovations that benefit both the student-athletes and fans. In the on-going commitment to player development, the enclosed batting cage area down the right-field line has been upgraded with expansion and remodeling. The true-blue fans will be sure to flock to the newly renovated ‘Roost’ on the first base side for hospitality that’s second to none.
