Norfolk State University Athletics

In 1997, Marty L. Miller Baseball Field debuted as the home for Spartan baseball. It is named after former coach and former Athletics Director Marty Miller, who spent more than 50 years as a player, coach and administrator at NSU.
 
The field itself is located off Presidential Parkway on the south side of the NSU campus. It has metal bleacher seating for 1,500, a spacious press box for game staff and working media, and lavatory facilities and storage space around the backside of the bleachers. It also has full stadium lighting for night games.
 
The playing surface is enclosed by cyclone fencing, with the outfield wall having been replaced in the summer of 2007 and sections replaced each summer. The field also has a new underground drainage system installed in the summer of 2013, a gravel warning track, and bullpens for both teams down the left and right field lines.
 
The dimensions for Marty L. Miller Field are 330 feet to left field, 318 to right, 395 to the gaps, and 402 to center field.

A horseshoe-shaped, green athletic turf collar with gold “Spartans” lettering outlined in white sits around home plate. The turf collar was installed in the summer of 2014, while the entire infield grass area was re-sodded in 2013.
 
A new LED scoreboard is situated behind the left-center field wall that measures 38 feet wide by 14 feet tall. Featuring a large Spartan head logo and Norfolk State University lettering across the top, the scoreboard was installed before the start of the 2015 season and replaced the original scoreboard from the stadium’s opening in 1997.

The stadium is also home to a concessions stand located behind the first-base dugout that sells a variety of food, drinks and snacks during home games.
 
In addition to numerous clinics, camps and youth baseball games, Miller Field has hosted seven MEAC Baseball Tournaments from 2006-08, 2012-14 and again in 2021 when the Spartans won their first ever MEAC title.

The stadium is also right next to Gill Gymnasium, home to the athletic department’s entire academic center, the NSU Weight Room, the NSU Sports Medicine Department and a lounge area for the team.
