10 2017 Baseball Media Guide The 2017 American Athletic Conference Baseball Championship will be hosted at Spectrum Field in Clearwater, Florida. The championship will take place May 19-24. The first two games will be televised on CBS Sports Network and the final will be televised on ESPNU. Additional coverage of the championship will be provided by The American Digital Network.

Spectrum Field, which is regarded as one of the finest minor league playing and practice facilities in the nation, is no stranger to collegiate baseball after hosting last year’s American Athletic Conference Championship and seven Big East Championships. The site first hosted the conference tournament in 2006 and was the league’s championship destination for nine of the last ten years.

Spectrum Field serves as the spring training site for the Phillies, and it has housed the Phillies’ affiliate since the facility opened in 2004.

The ’s seating capacity is 8,500. The outfield dimensions measure 329 feet down the left field line, 408 feet to center, and 330 down the right field line. The $25 million facility features a 360-degree main concourse, grass berm seating, group picnic areas, a children’s play area and a state- of-the-art video scoreboard. In addition to a major-league quality playing field, the facility also houses the Carpenter Complex – an adjacent four-diamond practice complex, which allows teams to take full-field batting practice while a game is taking place in the stadium.

All eight teams will qualify for the 2017 American Athletic Conference Championship, which will utilize a double- elimination format in two brackets, leading up to the May 28 final, which will be televised at noon on ESPNU.

UConn won the 2016 American Athletic Conference Championship, as the No. 3-seeded Huskies downed No. 5 Houston 7-2 to capture the conference’s automatic qualifier into the NCAA tournament. The Huskies lost in the Gainesville Regional after winning the conferencec title.
