Billy Allgood field was originally built in the early 1970's, when baseball was restarted at LC after a hiatus. The field remained basically the same until Mike Byrnes was hired in the spring of 2000.
Since Byrnes' arrival, over $500,000 worth of improvements have been implemented, all through private donations. An outfield wall, new scoreboard, message center on the scoreboard, new batting cages, a perimenter fence surrounding the facilities, chairback seats, a cover over the stands, a new pressbox, a new sound-system, walkways in front of the dugouts, a brick backstop, along with great improvements to the playing surface have all been installed or built under Byrnes.
The newest addition is the Skip Converse Fieldhouse, which is a 2400 square foot facility that houses a players' lounge, locker room, player showers and restroom, and coaches offices.
Dimensions: 325' LF, 365' LCF, 390' CF, 355 RCF', 315' RF with a 12 foot wall all-around and a 16-foot wall in center field.
