Bob Stein Stadium Photo Gallery | 2014 Turf Fields Construction Update

Home to the University of North Georgia baseball team, Bob Stein Stadium was constructed during the fall of 2008 and features a first-class facility for the Nighthawks. With 500 chair back seats, fans will enjoy a perfect venue for NCAA Baseball. Bob Stein Stadium offers players, fans, and media a beautiful facility with the backdrop of the Dahlonega mountains.  Since the original construction of the baseball complex, the dugouts, field, and amenities have undergone changes and upgrades over the past six seasons. In 2005, the maintenance building was built along the left field fence to house grounds crew equipment and team supplies. A new state of the art scoreboard was added prior to the 2008 season to complement the matrix board, giving fans statistics and game information. FieldTurf was installed at Bob Stein Stadium in 2014 as part of a renovation project to the outdoor facilities at UNG, giving the Nighthawks a field to play on regardless of weather conditions. A new Major League quality padded wall was constructed around the entire field after the installation of FieldTurf making the playing surface not only one of the most beautiful in the country, but one of the safest to play on as well.

About FieldTurf | FieldTurf was developed and engineered for athletes, by athletes. The company that changed the way athletes view "artificial turf". Before FieldTurf, natural grass was considered by many to be the best solution for sports fields around the world - even though it required constant maintenance and could not withstand heavy use. FieldTurf's inventors were not trying to create a better artificial solution, they were trying to replicate natural grass.  Throughout the last decade our engineered, infilled artificial turf systems became the first to host two Super Bowls, the World Series, the World Baseball Classic, a Major League Soccer Cup final and College Bowl games from coast to coast. Today, FieldTurf continues to thrive as the global market leader in synthetic sports fields with more than 7,000 fields installed. Cities and schools have been benefitting from our ability to provide the very best value for the short and long term, allowing organizations at all levels to be able to forecast the amount of money they will save by installing FieldTurf, the safest, longest lasting and highest performing artificial turf system.
