Dusty Rhodes Field at Harmon Stadium, generally known as the Harmon Stadium, is the baseball stadium at the University of North Florida (UNF), and the home field of the North Florida Ospreys baseball team. It is located on the university's campus in Jacksonville, Florida, near the softball complex and aquatic center. It opened in 1993 and has a seating capacity of 1,000. The stadium is named for Doug and Linda Harmon for their contributions to constructions costs,[1] while the field is named after UNF's first baseball coach, Dusty Rhodes.[2][3]

Features

Harmon Stadium has a few qualities that sets it apart from other ballparks. The "James J. Patton Osprey Nest" is an enclosed seating area with kitchen facilities and the Osprey baseball wall of fame. The "Left Field Lounge" is a picnic area with tables, a barbecue grill, and bleacher seating for 100. The "Dusty Rhodes Batting Facility" is a covered training facility with hitting cages and pitching machines.

Future

UNF's proposed Varsity Village includes plans for renovating Harmon Stadium and turning it into a 1,200 seat softball stadium. A new baseball stadium with a capacity of 3,000 would be built on the north end of campus. The entire Varsity Village project is estimated to cost $30 million and is currently in the fundraising stage.[4]
