About Evans Diamond At Stu Gordon Stadium
Evans Diamond at Stu Gordon Stadium is the long-standing home field of the California Golden Bears baseball team. Nestled on the southwest corner of the UC Berkeley campus at Cross Campus Road (Frank Schlessinger Way), Berkeley, CA 94720, this historic ballpark has welcomed Cal fans since 1933. In 2022, the venue was renamed Evans Diamond at Stu Gordon Stadium in honor of Stu Gordon’s pivotal role in Cal baseball’s reinstatement. With a natural grass playing surface and a classic, backless aluminum seating configuration, it’s a straightforward, family-friendly game-day experience that honors baseball tradition while remaining easy to navigate for fans and visiting supporters alike.
Below you’ll find practical details to help you secure your seats, plan transit, and enjoy nearby hotel and dining options. We’ve organized information to help you get to the ballpark without the fuss—because you’ve got a guy who’s got you covered.
Evans Diamond features a classic college ballpark layout with seating primarily in backless aluminum benches, plus a few seats with backs behind third base. The field measures 320 ft down the lines, 365 ft to the alleys, and 395 ft to center, all on natural grass with a dirt infield composed of clay and crushed cinder. Note that some events historically have utilized limited lighting, so plan accordingly for day games. Parking on residential streets around campus is restricted on game days, so we recommend campus parking options and nearby transit through Downtown Berkeley. For visitors, we’ve gathered reliable hotel and dining partners to streamline your trip and keep you in good hands for a smooth game day in Berkeley.
