Without Baum Stadium there would be no Baumlam. The root word in Baumlam is obviously Baum. We, however, have harvested more from Baum Stadium than just a name. It's sheer beauty is breathtaking. When approaching Baum Stadium you begin to feel its presence even before you get there. Your heart accelerates as you turn on to Razorback Rd. With every second that passes you begin to feel even more emotions. You remember the triumphs and the tragedies of past games. If you are coming in from the North you lean forward in your seat, straining against your seat belt, trying to see with your eyes the presence that you feel and know so well. As you cross the railroad tracks the MECCA of College Baseball comes into view. You inhale deeply as you feel goosebumps creep up across your body....  
  If you have never been to Baum Stadium your reaction will be quite different from the one described above. You will not, and can not comprehend the sheer glory it contains. As Baum comes into view you will most likely be silent unable to say or do anything. Your jaw drops, saliva begins to run out the corner of your mouth. Even if you do manage to say something it will most likely be something along these lines. "HOLY @$%, THAT'S A NICE BALLPARK!!!"

Baum Stadium was designed by HOK Inc. a prominent sports architecture firm. They are the geniuses behind Busch Stadium, Coors Field, Jacobs Field, Camden Yards, Comiskey Park, and many improvements at the World Series starved Wrigley Field. The greatest work is most certainly Baum Stadium. Why is Baum better than any of those major league ballparks? Let me answer that questions with several questions. Does Busch have Hognoxious? Do you have a realistic chance at a foulball at Coors? Does Jacob's Field have Mucho Nachos? Can you have a cookout in leftfield at Camden? Does Comiskey have RBI Girls? Does the team at Wrigley have a chance of true success? The answer to all those questions is "NO". Baum may be smaller and less expensive, but the environment it creates is much larger than the above ballparks could ever be.
