Bill Beck Field is a baseball venue located on the campus of the University of Rhode Island in Kingston, Rhode Island, USA. It is home to the Rhode Island Rams baseball team, a member of the Division I Atlantic 10 Conference. The field was built in 1966 and is named after former Rams baseball and football coach Bill Beck.[1]

Renovations

In 2007, a $1,000,000 donation to the baseball program led to $1.4 million renovations on Bill Beck Field. Completed in time for the 2009 season, a new backstop, scoreboard, fencing, and bullpens were constructed. Also, a new FieldTurf surface was installed.[1]
