One of the most unique and picturesque college baseball facilities in the nation is Evans Diamond, which has served as home of the Golden Bear baseball team since 1933.

Evans Diamond received a facelift in the fall of 1992 at a cost of $275,000, which was completely paid for by Cal alumni. RNT Landscaping of San Leandro completed the latest renovation of Evans Diamond which included leveling the field, installing a new drainage system, replacing both the infield and outfield grass and placing a warning track around the entire field.

Originally part of Edwards Field, named in the memory of Colonel George C. Edwards, Evans Diamond honors legendary Cal baseball coach Clint Evans, who served as the Bears' head coach from 1930-54.

The playing surface at Evans Diamond features natural grass, along with a mixture of clay and crushed cinder infield surface. The outfield measurements at Evans are 320 feet down the lines, 365 to the power alleys and 395 to center field. The seating capacity is 2,500.

The stadium itself has undergone numerous improvements over the years. Over the last 20 seasons, permanent outfield fences and warning track have been installed, along with new bullpen areas and batting cages, a batting background behind the center field fence, a new scoreboard and aluminum bleachers. One of the newer additions to Evans Diamond is the Jackie Jensen Press Box, which serves as a working area for the media.

Also soon to come is a new training facility off the right field line, which will include both batting cages and a workout area.

Evans Diamond is located on the southwest corner of campus, between Edwards Track Stadium, Haas Pavilion and the Recreational Sports Facility. The easiest access to the field is off Cross Campus Road (Frank Schlessinger Way), which intersects Oxford Avenue near the north end of the track stadium.
