Plainsman Park, AKA Samford Stadium, AKA Hitchcock Field, is home to Auburn University's baseball team. Even though this park has been in existence since 1950, it feels relatively modern, with its upgrades and updates. They've even got a green monster inspired by the one at Fenway Park.
As of this writing, tickets are $8 for non-conference games and $10 for SEC games. If you buy online, there is a surcharge of a few bucks. There's seating for 4,096 fans. We bought tickets day-of, so we had to sit way out in the outfield, but we were still practically right on the grass and could see the happenings at home plate well enough. That's the beauty of non-MLB games! There's also a general admission area with some lounge chairs. You can also find people watching the game from behind the outfield fence and from a nearby parking deck. Restrooms are located by the entrance. They could use a refresh but were fine. I liked how there was a cell phone charging station and water station too.
It's fun to think of how famous ballplayers such as Bo Jackson, Frank Thomas, Tim Hudson, and Josh Donaldson have called Plainsman Park home.
If you're a sports fan and in the Auburn area, taking in America's pastime at Plainsman Park is very highly suggested. Play ball! read more
