Theunissen Stadium<br />

CMU’s Theunissen Stadium is among the finest<br />

collegiate baseball facilities in the country.<br />

Opened in 2002, the 2,046-seat facility welcomes<br />

spectators and players alike with an impressive brick<br />

exterior. From there, players enjoy an expansive locker<br />

room and clubhouse area and a plush playing surface.<br />

The clubhouse features a lounge with several<br />

televisions and photographs depicting former CMU All-<br />

Americans and Chippewas who have gone on to play in<br />

the major leagues.<br />

Fans soak in the Chippewa game-day atmosphere from<br />

seating that hugs the field and provides excellent sight<br />

lines <strong>of</strong> the action. Located behind the backstop are 400<br />

chairback seats, while bleacher-style seating follows the<br />

first-base and third-base lines.<br />

A spacious press box, which includes two radio<br />

booths, overlooks home plate and assists the local and<br />

regional media in their coverage <strong>of</strong> the Chippewas.<br />

Bullpens are located adjacent to the dugouts and<br />

cages have been constructed behind the first-base<br />

grandstand.<br />

CMU has posted an 88-30 record (.746 winning<br />

percentage) in six seasons at Theunissen Stadium,<br />

including a 15-3 home mark in 2007. Over the past<br />

three seasons, CMU is 51-9 at home and has won 14<br />
