Charles F. Ragsdale Field and Cougar Stadium

Ragsdale Field was officially named for Charles F. Ragsdale in a ceremony on April 8, 2000. Ragsdale was the first coach  in CSU baseball history and built the strong tradition of baseball that is still in place today. Ragsdale won 476 games in his 15-year tenure and is responsible for the current location of the field which now bears his name.

Due to the generosity of Schuster Enterprises, the local Burger King franchise owners, stadium seating for 900 to 1000 fans, an air-conditioned press box, and stadium lighting equivalent to professional facilities was added in 1990. The new stadium was dedicated on March 24, 1990 prior to the Cougars hosting Michigan State University. CSU won the game 19-3.

The playing surface is widely recognized as one of the finest in the country at the Division II level. The field has been used for numerous events, including conference tournaments, NCAA regionals, junior college events, and high school games.
