Cooper Park
Cooper Park hosted its first game on March 25, 2007, a Millersville 16-6 win over Philadelphia University. The park features a climate-controlled press box with facilities for audio and video broadcasts, a grandstand to support 250 fans, a state-of-the-art irrigation system and a sound system. In the fall of 2016, a FieldTurf infield was installed and renovations were made to both dugouts.Â
The facility, built initially for $1.7 million in 2007, includes four batting cages and four bullpen mounds.Â
The program moved into a clubhouse directly behind the grandstand in the spring of 2012. Formerly offices, the building was reworked to include lockers, meeting rooms and coaching offices.
The park, known as Marauder Park for the majority of existence, received an official name change on April 20, 2013. A dedication ceremony revealed the name as Bennett J. Cooper '67 Park in honor of the former Marauder baseball player for his generous gifts to the program. New signage on the press box as well as a plaque and a banner in left-center field were unveiled.Â
