BUIES CREEK, N.C. - Progress continues at Campbell's Jim Perry Stadium, the new home for the Camel baseball program.

Over the last 10 days, the stadium's press box has begun to take shape, and crews have completed roughly 1/3 of the facility's brickwork façade.

Construction began on the new facility in December after Campbell announced plans for Jim Perry Stadium in early November.

The ballpark is named for the 1970 Cy Young Award winner, Jim Perry, who attended Campbell from 1956-59. He then went on to play professional baseball for 17 years in the American League after signing with the Cleveland Indians organization.

During his career, he won 215 games while striking out 1,576 batters in 3,286 innings. He also hurled 32 shutouts and compiled a 3.45 ERA.

Jim Perry Stadium will feature total seating for 630, including 310 chair-backed seats, plus bleacher-backs and disability access. The new grandstand will span nearly from dugout to dugout.
