Crubaugh Field
 

The ICC Baseball program began a new era in 1983 with the opening of newly-built Crubaugh Field. Named after the late former ICC president, John S. Crubaugh, the facility gives Itawamba one of the finest community college facilities in the nation.
A state-of-the-art lighting system was installed during the summer of 2001.  The system, which surpasses NCAA specifications, includes 104 1500-watt Metal-Halide lights mounted on eight 70-foot steel poles.

The main grandstand seats 1,000 with a concrete area on both sides to accommodate lawn chair seating. The grandstand features a press area for the P.A. announcer, scoreboard operator, radio personnel, and local media. In addition, from dugout to dugout, there is a brick backstop (similar to Wrigley Field) with netting.

On the field the Indians benefit from spacious sunken dugouts and play on a plush natural turf playing surface. A crimson stone infield surface and complete warning track surface were installed during renovations prior to the 2000 season. The home of the Indians also features a complete drainage and irrigation system. The outfield fence is lined with beautiful cedar trees as well as large pines behind the left field wall. In left field fans can enjoy a 20' x 20' deck that rises above the fence for an incredible view of the action.

Crubaugh Field also boasts a restroom/concession area, batting tunnel/drill area, and a large scoreboard.  Crubaugh Field, winner of the 1997 Scot's Field of the Year Award, will take on several new changes this season. Decorative flags will be added to the backstop and scoreboard. Green windscreen will be placed down each foul line as well as the addition of several new outfield signs.

Plans are currently under way to add lighting and additional brick grandstand seating to create an enclosed stadium.
