Facility
Dick Howser Stadium has taken its place as one of the top collegiate baseball facilities in the country after a two-year, $12 million dollar project was completed in 2004. Located on the campus of Florida State University, the stadium has provided over two million fans with the feeling of having "the best seat in the house" to watch the fi nest in college baseball action. On April 2, 2005 Florida State University dedicated the fi eld at Dick Howser to current head coach Mike Martin. Florida State's skipper for the last 28 years now coaches on the diamond bearing his name, Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium.

Florida State's players and coaches enjoy the convenience and luxury of a clubhouse and locker room currently located behind the Seminole dugout.

The locker room contains a personalized wooden locker for each player, a separate locker room for the Seminole coaches and trainers, and a video area where FSU players and coaches can watch film.
