Edgar H. McBane Field
Guilford's baseball team plays and practices on McBane Field, named for one of the school's top baseball players, Edgar McBane '14. He donated much of his time to the baseball program and at one time attended at least one Guilford baseball game for 73 straight years.
McBane Field is located next to Alumni Gym on Guilford's campus. The field has permanent dugouts for home and visiting teams, seating for spectators, a full-size electronic scoreboard and a brick dust warning track and fencing. The infield was resodded with Bermuda grass in 1992, making it one of the finest playing surfaces in the area. The field measures 320' down the lines, 360' in the alleys and 385' to straightaway center field. In 1998, the bullpens were improved by the construction of two regulation pitching mounds in each bullpen and the infield received a new layer of red clay. In spring 2006, the field received a new eight-foot fence and windscreen, and in the fall of 2006 McBane Field received a new inning-by-inning scoreboard. In spring 2007 McBane Field received new bleacher seating and a new backstop with padding.
