Latham Baseball Stadium is a baseball venue located in Greenville, South Carolina, US. It was home to the Furman Paladins college baseball team until it was discontinued in 2020. The venue opened in 1956 and has a capacity of 2,000 spectators.[1]
The stadium is named after Tommy Latham and his family. Latham was an All-Conference baseball player at Furman. The venue was renamed and dedicated to him and his family in May 2008 prior to a conference game against Davidson, with the park's full name becoming John T. and Gloria Latham Baseball Stadium (John and Gloria Latham are the parents of the Paladin baseball player Tommy). The Latham family made a contribution of $1 million for the park to be renamed.[2] Prior to the renaming, the field had been known as Furman Baseball Stadium since its construction in 1956.[1]
