PROVIDENCE, R.I. - BIG EAST baseball fans will find familiar surroundings for the league's upcoming postseason tournaments as the conference has chosen Bright House Field in Clearwater, Fla., as the site of the 2012 and 2013 BIG EAST Baseball Championships.
Bright House Field, which is regarded as one of the finest minor league playing and practice facilities in the nation, will host its sixth and seventh BIG EAST Championships. The site first hosted the conference tournament in 2006 and has been the league's championship destination for five of the last six years.
"We're excited to be able to return to Bright House Field and the beautiful St. Petersburg/Clearwater area for two more years," said BIG EAST Associate Commissioner James Siedliski. "Our goal is always to provide the best possible championship experience for our student-athletes and coaches and the feedback we've received based on our five previous visits has been overwhelmingly positive. Everything from the playing and practice facilities to the support we receive from the local and state levels makes this decision the right one for the BIG EAST and its baseball programs."
