RAYMOND A. DuFOUR CENTER and ROBERT J. TALBOT BASEBALL FIELD

Unless otherwise noted our camps are held at the Raymond A. DuFour Center and Robert J. Talbot Baseball Field.

Dedicated in 2000, Talbot Field is home to CUA's baseball team. Renovations in the spring of 2007 included new stadium seating, a state-of-the-art press box, fencing with a windscreen and a warning track as well as infield improvements. The field was named in honor of alumnus and hall of fame member Robert J. Talbot, '60, who wore many hats at CUA including those of baseball coach, dean of admissions and financial aid, athletic director, and most recently, senior gift officer in the office of development.
