The number of first-rate college baseball facilities in New England has increased over the past few years. One of the top-notch facilities is "Govoni Field," home of Babson baseball, and located just off Rt. 135 at the edge of the college campus. A lot of work has gone into making it a fine place to play and to watch baseball. Nearly all the improvements have been funded through special-purpose fundraising campaigns, with support provided by alumni, parents, faculty, and other friends of Babson baseball.
