At the eastern side of Penn State’s campus across Porter Road from Beaver Stadium sits Medlar Field at Lubrano Park. The stadium has 5,570 seats and has been the home of the Penn State baseball team and the State College Spikes since it opened on June 20, 2006.
What might be most impressive about Medlar Field at Lubrano Park, though, is the story of how it came to be.
“I never envisioned the field as it stands today,” said former Penn State baseball player and alumnus Anthony Lubrano.
Lubrano says the plan for the field was born from a comment that he made to then-Penn State athletic director Tim Curley at a football game in 1997.
