12 2018 BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE The 2018 American Athletic Conference Baseball Championship will be played at Spectrum Field in Clearwater, Florida. The championship will take place May 22-27. Live 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, has hosted the American Athletic Conference Championship since 2014 and was the site of seven Big East Championships.

Spectrum Field serves as the spring training site for the Phillies, and it has housed the Phillies’ Florida State League 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.

Eight teams will qualify for the 2018 American Athletic Conference Championship, which will utilize a double- elimination format in two brackets, leading up to the May 27 final.

No. 2 seed Houston captured its second American Athletic Conference Baseball Championship last season with a 6-0 victory against No. 8 seed ECU.
