LSU baseball plays Bryant University this coming weekend. Who is Bryant Univ.?

It's a private university located in Smithfield, Rhode Island with an undergraduate enrollment of 3,430 and is a member of the Northeast Conference.
This past weekend Bryant played at Abilene Christian in Abilene, Texas and won 2 out of 3. Like LSU, it was the opening weekend for Bryant. Of note, Bryant hit 5 home runs in the three-game series and they have a team batting average of .308.
Bryant's baseball stadium has a seating capacity of 500 with "200 chair backs." Here is a photo of it...
ETA: One of Bryant University's more famous alums is Nicholas Colasanto, the actor who played the character Coach Ernie Pantusso in the 1980's sitcom, Cheers.

The field's dimensions go 330' down the left and right field lines, 385' to the right and left centerfield gaps and 400' to straight away center field.

You’d have to really love baseball to play in that stadium. My high school held more people

Alex Box will be awe inspiring for them.

didn't they beat Arkansas in an NCAA tournament game a few years ago?

Would suck if they travel all the way down here to get rained out on Friday and Saturday.

Field of dreamers.

where da seats at?

They're missing the right fielder in that photo. Do they play with 8?

That's awesome. That's the type of "stadium" that you can back your pickup to the outfield fence with an ice chest of beer. Just remember to look up when you hear a loud ding.

Northern schools love to head south for a few weeks this time of the year. Schools like Bryant are lining up to play teams like LSU not only to escape the weather but to get experience that will help them in their conferences later in the year.
Big time southern schools schedule them so the coaches can tinker with line ups and make adjustments in a (relatively) safe situation.

Never heard of them. But, I never heard of Stony Brook before they beat the Tigers in a superregional and advanced to the CWS. Bryant could be one of baseball's best kept secrets.

What they've done only being D1 for 10 years and being a small northern school is pretty damn impressive.

Remember Stony Brook who are they ? Don’t take that lightly,,

Didn’t Bryant make it somewhat far a few years ago? I vaguely remember hearing about Bryant within the past few years.

yep, lost to Houston and SLU

For such a small school and pretty primitive facilities they are a pretty good team. Seems like they are in a regional most years.

You guys must be really young. They were in the 2014 regional here.
