Dante Benedetti Diamond at Max Ulrich Field, baseball venue in San Francisco, California, United States

Dante Benedetti Diamond at Max Ulrich Field is a baseball field at the University of San Francisco with seating for about 2000 spectators. The playing surface uses artificial turf with coconut husk infill and features covered areas along the baselines and behind home plate, with bleacher seats at the bases and grassy berms for casual viewing.

Max Ulrich Field was built in 1953 and named for Max Ulrich, a San Francisco resident who left the university $358,000 in his will. It took its current name in 1980, the year coach Dante Benedetti retired after 29 years in charge; the diamond was dedicated to him that same year. Benedetti recorded 373 wins, a program record until Nino Giarratano surpassed it in 2012.

The diamond carries the name of Dante Benedetti, coach for 29 years until 1980, when the field was dedicated to him; his 373 wins stood as the program record until 2012. The mesh netting around the field is there to stop foul balls and home runs from hitting houses or reaching Golden Gate and Masonic avenues.

The field is surrounded by netting to keep foul balls from leaving the immediate area. Visitors find seating options ranging from grassy areas to covered zones, with the playing surface set below street level to provide good sight lines from all vantage points.

The field underwent a complete 2015 renovation that included a 90-degree rotation, repositioning home plate to a new location. The artificial surface is the first in NCAA Division I baseball to use coconut husk infill instead of rubber, offering a more environmentally friendly alternative.
