On Sept. 8, 2023, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia approved two major construction projects at Kennesaw State University – the construction of a new residence hall on the Kennesaw Campus and a renovation of the Owls' baseball stadium.
KSU's Stillwell Stadium, located across from The Summit, has been home to Owls baseball since 1984. The $12.3 million project, which is funded primarily through private donations, will include a total overhaul of the existing stadium including the installation of a new turf playing surface, better lighting and fencing for a safer playing environment. The facility will also be outfitted with new dugouts, press/media areas and concessions, along with expanding the seating capacity to 1,500.
Baseball is one of the most successful athletic programs at Kennesaw State, winning national championships at the NAIA and Division II levels before joining Division I; earning multiple conference championships, most recently the ASUN title in 2022; twice advancing to the NCAA Division I tournament, including a memorable run to the Super Regionals in 2014; and 73 student-athletes signing professional baseball contracts, with 11 players reaching the major leagues. The stadium reconstruction will coincide with KSU Athletics' move to Conference USA in the 2024-25 academic year.
Plans for the stadium reconstruction also include premium and hospitality seating, and the stadium will match the program's aspirations with the ability to host NCAA Regional and Super Regional rounds.
