Alex Box Stadium

Alex Box Stadium, College baseball stadium in Baton Rouge, United States

Alex Box Stadium was a baseball stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, built in 1938 at a cost of $50,000. It stood across the street from Tiger Stadium, visible in right field, and was most notable for The Intimidator, a large billboard behind the right-field fence featuring the eight years in which LSU won the College World Series.

LSU built the ballpark in 1938 for $50,000. The New York Giants held spring training there in 1938 and 1939, and on March 12, 1938, they beat the Philadelphia Phillies 6–5 in the park's first game. The stadium was named for Simeon Alex Box, an LSU letterman (1942) killed in North Africa during World War II. It was dismantled after the 2008 season, and its remnants were sold to fans.

The stadium's name honors Simeon Alex Box, an LSU letterman of 1942 killed in North Africa during World War II; locals pronounce it "Alec Box." Behind the right-field fence stood The Intimidator, a billboard listing the years LSU won the College World Series. When the park was dismantled after 2008, its remnants were sold to fans.

The stadium stood across the street from Tiger Stadium, whose structure was visible beyond the right-field fence. The site was reached from the LSU campus in Baton Rouge, and the ballpark was dismantled after the 2008 season, so only its former location remains.

The Intimidator, a billboard behind the right-field fence, listed the eight years in which LSU won the College World Series. The stadium was dismantled after 2008 and its remnants sold to fans; the replacement, Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field, stands 200 yards to the south.
