Features: Opened in 1987, the Baseball Complex is a 600-seat enclosed facility that includes restrooms, concession stands, offices and an equipment room. The dimensions are 320 feet down the left field and right field lines, 365 feet to the alleys and 390 to straight-away center field. In 2001 a press box and a new scoreboard were installed. The complex also has a field house that serves as the home locker room.Â
In 2019, the athletic department began phase one of a five phase redesign to the complex, highlighted by the bricking of both dugouts, the outfield scoreboard and the addition of a black turf halo around home plate. On February 15, 2020 the baseball program payed homage to longtime head coach QV Lowe with the unveiling of "QV Lowe Field" prior to their Gulf South Conference doubleheader against Christian Brothers University. A fan pavilion area was added in 2020 along the left-field line next to the third-base dugout, in addition to a new concession stand, an enclosed ticket booth, and a new entry gate with signage.
Main Gate: The Jo and Ben McNeill Plaza main gate entry by longtime AUM supporters, Jo and Ben McNeill.
Third Base Dugout: Former AUM baseball player Tyler Williams and his wife and fellow AUM alum Dawn, named the Third Base Dugout after AUM’s second Chancellor, and Tyler’s father, the Dr. James O. Williams Dugout. Dr. Williams founded the AUM baseball program during his tenure as chancellor.
First Base Dugout: Retired AUM staff member, and longtime Athletics supporter and Hall of Fame member Lt Col. Jack Doane and his wife Barbara, named the first base dugout the Doane Family Dugout.
Scoreboard: The Coca Cola Bottling Co. LTD Montgomery also contributed as a longtime supporter of AUM athletics, making the new scoreboard possible.
